DETAILS
Overview
85L of upright storage, light on power
The Bushman DC85-X is Bushman's best selling upright fridge for 4x4 canopies, now in the 2026 Heavy Duty Series.
It fits most campers, caravans, canopies, tiny houses and boats, and gives you a lot of usable space for its size. An oversize refrigeration unit and an internal fan keep it cool evenly while keeping power use low.
Why this fridge
Made for your setup
The DC85-X takes 2L milk bottles in the door, stands up tall bottles inside and has a 6L freezer for ice and ice packs, all in a cabinet 475mm wide and 625mm tall. It averages about 1.25 to 1.3Ah per hour.
The 6L freezer compartment (about 210 x 350 x 90mm) holds ice cube trays and ice packs at around -12 °C.
Proven reliable
Heavy duty compressor, 7 year warranty
Every fridge in this range uses the Secop Danfoss Heavy Duty series compressor, the 12V compressor designed for trucks and off-road use, backed by a 7 year 12V compressor warranty.

Frequently asked questions
Will 2L milk bottles fit in the door?
Yes, 2L milk bottles fit in the door of the DC85-X.
Does the door stick out past the fridge when opened?
No. At 90° the door stays within the cabinet width. Only the handle sticks out, by about 20mm.
What battery and solar does it need?
Bushman recommends a 150Ah AGM or 100Ah lithium battery with about 300W of solar. That runs it for at least three days and nights.
How do I mount it?
Use the supplied mounting frame, the internal mounting sleeves, a Bushman aluminium fridge box, or your own brackets.
Can I run it on 240V?
Yes, through a 240V to 12V transformer. Most owners run it from their battery bank and use a smart charger on mains power.
