Zone 1 capacity: 33L
Zone 2 capacity: 47L
Total capacity: 80L
Temperature range: +10°C to -18°C

The Down Under II includes a power-saving option that allows one side to be switched off when full dual-zone capacity is unnecessary.
This can be particularly useful on shorter trips or when the fridge is carrying a smaller amount of food and drinks.
Actual electrical savings will depend on ambient temperature, fridge settings, contents and other operating conditions.
📉 EXTREMELY LOW PROFILE 413MM DESIGN
The 80L Down Under II is designed specifically for installations where overall fridge height is a major consideration.
At approximately 413mm high, it combines substantial 80L storage capacity with a much lower cabinet profile than many large portable fridge freezers.
This makes it particularly useful for compatible:
- 🛻 Utes with roller covers
- 🛻 Utes with hard-top covers
- 🚙 4WD storage systems
- 📦 Low-clearance canopy installations
- 🚐 Caravan storage compartments
- ⛺ Camper trailer installations
🛻 UTE ROLLER COVER & HARD-TOP FITMENT

This provides additional installation and access flexibility in 4WDs, utes, caravans and other touring setups where surrounding equipment may affect how the fridge can be opened.

⚡ ECO & MAX COMPRESSOR SPEED SETTINGS
The refrigerator offers Eco and Max compressor modes.

This makes it suitable for a wide variety of mobile and off-grid installations including 4WDs, utes, trucks, caravans, campers and boats.
🏠 240V OPERATION WITH INCLUDED ADAPTOR
A slimline 12/240V power adaptor is included with the fridge.

The supplied package includes a 1.8m Anderson-to-Anderson-style 12V power lead.
An Anderson-style-to-cigarette 12V adaptor is also included.
This provides flexible connection options when moving the refrigerator between compatible vehicles and electrical systems.

A 15A resettable circuit breaker provides circuit protection and convenient troubleshooting.
If the breaker trips under applicable conditions, it can be reset rather than requiring replacement of a conventional fuse.

Internal LED illumination makes it easier to see food and drinks when using the refrigerator after dark or inside enclosed vehicle storage areas.
This is particularly useful in ute canopies, caravans, campers and campsites where ambient lighting may be limited.
