Is your camping fridge bigger than your appetite?

From 45L single-zones to 80L dual compartments, Ben and Lauren unpack the cold, hard facts about fridge capacity. Our gear gurus consider how vehicle space, party size, climate, and even adventure style can affect your ideal setup. They dive into practical considerations like fridge slides, temperature zones, and efficient compartmentalizing – proving that sometimes the bigger choice can be a little too much cold to carry.
