The Bushman Crew Are at It Again – New Bushman DF40-HD Drawer Fridge

The Bushman crew are at it again with a new Bushman DF40-HD 40 litre drawer fridge now available, and it is another good option for caravans, campers, motorhomes and 4WD setups where you want a proper drawer fridge without wasting space.

The DF40-HD is a 12V/24V Heavy Duty Series drawer fridge. It has around 35 litres of usable storage inside the drawer and, importantly, it uses the same external dimensions as the Bushman DF30-HD – 310mm high, 440mm wide and 840mm deep.

 

More Fridge Space in the Same Size

The DF30-HD is designed more as a serious deep freezer. This new DF40-HD gives you more usable space for your everyday fridge items while keeping the same outside dimensions. The temperature range is -10°C to +6°C, so it is primarily a fridge but can also be used as a mild freezer when required. Bushman rates it to maintain approximately +4°C refrigeration in ambient temperatures up to 50°C. That makes a lot of sense for Australian touring. If your fridge is sitting inside a hot canopy, caravan or camper in the middle of summer, it needs to be designed to deal with that heat.

Built for Mobile Use

The DF40-HD uses a genuine Secop Danfoss BD50K compressor, stainless-steel drawer runners, an all-steel slam latch and twin heat-extraction fans.

Bushman also supplies mounting brackets, and the fridge can be flush-fitted into cabinetry. You can even run a DF30-HD and DF40-HD together, either side-by-side or double stacked with Bushman’s stacking kit. That gives you one dedicated deep freezer and one dedicated fridge without taking up the space of a big upright fridge/freezer.

 

Watch Bushman Fridges Out in the Real World

The video above is a good look at Bushman fridges being used in a real touring setup. It isn’t specifically a DF40-HD review, but it gives you a much better idea of the sort of conditions these fridges are designed to work in. But we can’t all run Mercedes luxury tourers…



Thinking About a Bushman DF40-HD Drawer Fridge?

Call me for pricing. If you are considering one for a caravan, motorhome, camper or 4WD canopy, talk to me about your application first. There is no point buying a fridge and then finding out it doesn't suit the space, ventilation or power setup you already have. The Fridge Whisperer can source the new Bushman DF40-HD.
