Vitrifrigo 20 Litre Top Opening 12 Volt Fridge

Vitrifrigo have developed a new top opening 12 volt fridge ideal for narrow depth work surfaces in smaller campervan conversions. Perfect for models like the Toyota Granvia, VW Caddy and other conversions on smaller chassis.

12 Volt Top Opening Fridge

The new TL20 has a decent 20 litre capacity in a top opening fridge that is only 230mm deep. The internal height of 325mm allows you to stand standard wine bottles to upright.
Installation is straight forward with the compressor mounted below the fridge. The thermostat is separate and can be mounted up to 0.8m from the fridge maximise the usable space inside the fridge.

Vitrifrigo TL20 Dimensions
The TL20 uses the BD Micro, which is super quiet and 45% lighter than the standard BD35 compressor. Power consumption is a very modest 0.2A/h in UK summer time.

New Steel Lock Locking Catch for Vitrifrigo Drawer Fridges and Freezers

Vitrifrigo have introduced a new stainless steel positive lock for their entire drawer range.  A significant improvement over their original South co supplied slam latch catch, Vitrifrigo have now designed their own unique ‘Steel Lock’ latch for their DW Drawer Series. To open the drawer you simply pull up on the ergonomically designed handle to release the catch.  When the door is closed the latch will automatically engage, with a reassuring audible click as the drawer is secured.
