Bushmans & Kings Upright Fridge Fan mod
Improve Airflow & Temperature Control in Your 12V Upright Fridge with the Kings/Bushmans Fridge Fan Mod
If you’re running a Bushmans or Adventure Kings upright fridge in the back of your 4WD, you’ve probably noticed uneven temps at some point.
Often the Top shelf is not quite as cold, Bottom shelf icy, Compressor cycling more than you’d expect.
It’s more obvious when the fridge is packed tight or fitted with drawers. Airflow gets restricted, cold air settles low, and warm air lingers up top. The fridge works harder to compensate.
This upright fridge fan mod fixes that.

Why Upright 12v Fridges Struggle With Airflow
Upright 12V fridges rely mostly on natural convection to move air. When you load them up with food, drinks, or install drawer systems, airflow becomes limited.
The result:
- Warm pockets inside the cabinet Slower recovery after opening the door
- More frequent compressor cycles
- Increased power draw when camping off grid
If you’re touring and running dual batteries, lithium, or solar, that extra cycling matters.
How the Bushmans & Kings Fridge Fan Mod Improves Temperature Distribution
The internal circulation fan actively moves air throughout the fridge.
It’s a simple concept, but the improvement is noticeable:
- Even temperature distribution from top to bottom
- Faster cool down times
- Less strain on the compressor
- Improved 12V efficiency (even when the fan is running 24/7)
Once everything inside the fridge is properly cold, food, drinks, cans, they help stabilise the internal temperature. Solids and liquids retain temperature far better than air. By eliminating warm air pockets, the fridge doesn’t have to constantly re-cool the space.
Reduce 12v power consumption while camping
On longer trips, that translates to reduced power consumption.
After installing the Bushmans / Kings fridge fan mod, I’ve found the fridge runs more consistently and cycles less when out bush.
Reduce 12V Power Consumption While Camping
This upgrade is particularly worthwhile if:
- You’ve installed a drawer system
- Your fridge is consistently full
- You tour off-grid regularly
- You’re trying to maximise battery performance
If your upright fridge is “ultra full” most of the time, improving internal airflow is one of the simplest efficiency gains you can make.
