BougeRV 30-Quart Portable 12V Refrigerator Freezer CR28 — Compact Compressor Fridge, 12/24V DC & 110–240V AC, Insulated Cover

BougeRV CR28 is a 30-quart portable compressor refrigerator and freezer that cools quickly, runs on 12/24V DC or 110–240V AC, and protects vehicle batteries with adjustable cutoffs.

Whether you’re on the road in an RV, truck, van, or boat, the BougeRV CR28 balances fast cooling, energy efficiency, and quiet operation in a compact, transportable package. It ships with an insulated cover, DC and AC cords, and a user manual, plus two years of technical support from BougeRV. The compressor design can reach subzero temperatures without ice and fits into cabins or cargo areas thanks to its modest footprint and shock-resistant build.

How fast and cold will this fridge get my food and drinks?

The CR28 uses compressor refrigeration to reach low temperatures quickly — it can drop from 77°F to 32°F in about 15 minutes and can reach roughly -5°F in around 50 minutes under ideal conditions. For best results, pre-chill items before loading and allow airflow around the unit.

• Typical fast-cool: 77°F to 32°F in ~15 minutes (empty unit, ambient 77°F)
• Deep-freeze capability: ~-5°F in ~50 minutes (empty unit, ambient 77°F)
• No ice required — preserves space and prevents melting messes
• Insulated cover included to boost cold retention while traveling

What power options and efficiency can I expect on the road?

The CR28 operates on 12/24V DC for vehicles and 110–240V AC for home or shore power, offering flexible use across cars, trucks, RVs, and boats. With ECO mode the fridge consumes about 36W; even at its highest setting it typically uses under 1 kWh per day thanks to intelligent cycling.

• Dual power: 12/24V DC and 110–240V AC compatibility
• Energy saving ECO mode ~36W operating power
• Max power near 45W — efficient for extended trips
• Includes DC and AC power cords for quick setup

Will it disturb passengers or handle rough roads?

The CR28 is engineered for quiet operation and durable travel use: it runs at about 45 dB, keeping cabin noise low for sleeping or conversation. The shock-proof design tolerates inclines up to 30° and handles typical vehicle vibrations without performance loss.

• Low-noise compressor operation (~45 dB)
• Shock-resistant construction for off-road conditions
• Operates safely on inclines up to 30° without failure
• Compact dimensions and lightweight for easy placement

How does the fridge protect my vehicle battery?

The CR28 includes a three-level battery protection system that prevents deep discharge by shutting the unit off at preset voltage thresholds. You can select the cutoff that matches your vehicle battery and how conservatively you want to preserve starting power.

• Three selectable voltage cutoffs to prevent battery drain
• User-adjustable settings to match different battery capacities
• Protects vehicle start battery on extended stops or overnight
• Clear manual guidance for choosing appropriate cutoff levels

Who is this for? The BougeRV CR28 is aimed at campers, overlanders, truck drivers, and boaters who need reliable cold storage away from shore power. It’s suitable for weekend adventurers who want fast chilling and low energy use, as well as professionals who require steady refrigeration during long drives. If you need a compact, quiet compressor fridge with flexible power options and built-in battery safeguards, the CR28 is designed to fit that role.
