The Best Fridge For Your Expedition Vehicle: Isotherm
When building a custom expedition vehicle, every component matters—but few are as essential to long-term comfort and independence as a reliable fridge. After years of experience designing and outfitting off-grid adventure vehicles, we can confidently say: Isotherm makes the best fridges and freezers for expedition travel.
Originally engineered for marine use—think yachts and offshore vessels—Isotherm refrigeration products are built to withstand harsh conditions while maintaining a sleek, space-saving design. The demands of a marine environment align closely with those of an expedition vehicle: durability, longevity, compactness, and energy efficiency. It's no surprise they’ve become our go-to in both midsize and large-scale builds.
Below are the two Isotherm products we rely on most often—and why our clients love them:
Isotherm Drawer Fridge
By far the most popular option in our builds, the Isotherm drawer fridge offers the perfect blend of form and function.
Compact footprint makes it ideal for maximizing floor space in tighter layouts
Optional freezer compartment lets clients store perishables for longer trips
Sleek, modern design complements the high-end interiors we’re known for
Whether you're heading out for a weekend or several weeks, this drawer-style fridge provides convenience and capability in a streamlined format.
Isotherm Cruise 220 Upright Refrigerator
For larger expedition truck builds, our clients typi
cally need more storage capacity. That’s where the Isotherm Cruise 220 Upright Fridge/Freezer shines.
Generous interior space means fewer compromises on what you bring
Built-in freezer allows for extended off-grid stays without resupply stops
Trusted durability—we install it knowing it’ll last as long as the truck itself
This upright model is the perfect match for those planning long-term expeditions or full-time vehicle living. And despite its larger size, it’s easy to install and integrate into the layout.
Why We Trust Isotherm
In our shop, these two models continue to rise to the top—not just because they perform well, but because they help our clients go farther and stay out longer without sacrificing comfort. Whether you're packing for a weekend in the desert or months of remote travel, Isotherm gives you peace of mind and food that stays fresh.
