*A quiet **Generater.Systems** , love the dual fuel capabilities, camper is 50 amp but the adapter helps and found it still handles the load. Haven't taken a camping trip yet, that's in a couple of weeks. Will see how well it does over a long weekend.*
Thanks for this review. Yes, everyone is looking for the quality of the Dan-Foss Compressors. This will definately be my radar when I get ready to purchase a refrigerator.
I've had this now for about 6 months in a camper van I built for traveling. It works great and I measured to make sure it fits between the front seats of my e150 van and it fits perfectly with just a little space on each side. I plug mine into a cigarette lighter that is part of one of those 5 gang switches popular in camper vans and its fed by a pretty substantial solar system (300 watt solar array, renogy 50amp dc to dc mptt controller, 2000 amp inverter, and a 300 ah solar battery). I've been on numerous trips this fall and even on multiple overcast days in a row boondocking, its not too taxing on the solar system even though its the highest usage electrical item I have. Its very efficient. I'm also in the process of building an overland rig from a jeep wrangler jku and plan to just swap this iceco fridge between it and the camper van .... I'm only on paper with this idea and haven't figured out where I am putting it yet (it will fit in the rear behind the seats but I would prefer if it fits on the floor in front of the rear seats ... time will tell lol)
Thanks for sharing your story, Ed. Those are great fridges. Sounds like you're gonna end up with great outfit. Let us know when you got the wrangler going.
I own the JP50 and it has worked great on my WeeRoll cargo build. Low consumption on eco mode. Cools down in 30 minutes if run on regular mode and then switch to eco. Love the included cover and additional power cords. Ran mine at 33 degrees for fridge. The best compressor. I highly recommend. I paid only $475 shipped. Got in on a deal with Bob Wells.
Based on your review and others I bought a JP50. We took it on a two-week trip to Oregon and it worked great. We put it between the seats in our van and had it on freezer mode, we had another ice cooler for refrigerated food, we kept drinks in the top compartment it did not freeze them but they were plenty cold, we also froze bottles of water for our cooler and that was just right about the time the ice thawed in the cooler the ICECO had frozen new bottles to replace them.
Looks like a nice refrigerator! These units are handy for camping RVing and we use ours for trips to Costco/grocery store also. We look forward to seeing you both again one of these days.
I have the JP 40. This is an excellent product. Quiet and efficient. I also have one of the cheaper refrigerators and there is no comparison. The cheap one runs two to three times as much and is much louder.
Another good and informative video. I've debated on purchasing a 12 volt refrigerator, but really not sure if I really need one yet. Would definitely be convenient if just traveling in my truck with just the camper shell on, but otherwise I'm travelling with my slide-in camper or fifth wheel both of course with refrigerators. Have a great week.
Thanks for the great info! Im saving up for a 12v fridge and you've definitely got me to give the Ice Co a serious look👍 As always I enjoy the channel vids so again thanks so much for sharing your valuable insight and fun adventures with us on You Tube!
I dont know if you remember me. I asked you about your fridge. I was going to buy until I found out the trailer I plan on buying comes with fridge. Intech trailer and a Sequoia is going to be my purchase. Stay safe and happy!!!
I got to be honest I don’t know why they’re using a black lid? I’d think it would absorb sunlight and have a reversed affect. Other than that the video was pretty 🥶!! 🤙
Looks interesting..! I sure would like to see an upright version for sitting center on the back seat. It would be super easy access while driving. Thanks for the video...
Great review! I have narrowed my choice of refrigerators to the Iceco or the Truck Fridge. The Truck Fridge has more storage but not much of a freezer area. However it was designed for truckers and tested by truckers so choosing between the two is going to be a challenge. I am leaning towards the Iceco though!! Lol
After letting my new JP50 sit for 24 hours after delivery, as recommended by the manufacturer... it has a really annoying high pitch sound from the compressor area. Contacted Iceco, sent them a video and they are sending me a replacement. Happy with customer service, yes... but quality control should have addressed this before packaging the fridge up. A few other users have had this issue, but from my conversations over the phone with Iceco, they say this has never happened. The 12v cigarette plug also doesn't like any of the six outlets I've plugged into. The connection is extremely loose. Again, this also is an ongoing issue that many Iceco customers have had with this particular connector. I'll update my comment if and when the replacement arrives. Fingers crossed 🤞
I seen a vid of you reviewing the Alpicool fridge / freezer as well bewtween the two Alpicool and the ICECO which do you think would do the trick of lets say the weekend warrior type person?
@@gonagain I just pulled the trigger on the ICECO JP50 along with the slide mount for the unit total of $758.00 but after the discount from honey it was 667.04
I don't have test results for higher temperatures like that, but it could use twice as much power, or 26WH per hour, easily. The long extension cord used about .5 volt more power.
Great video. How long does yours take to cool down? I have the jp40 and mine seems to take awhile to cool down. Seems to be taking longer to cool down than it should.
My Alpicool works fine and does what it's supposed to. There is, however, a noticeable difference in the increased amount of time it runs when comparing it to the Iceco.
Where do you keep the fridge when your traveling....trailer or truck? That looks like a well made unit for under the cabinet on a pull out. Thanks for the review, greatagain.......get it? 🤣
Got it! We keep it in the trailer because of the roof mounted solar. The drawback is that it gets a rough ride back there sometimes. I have it sitting on several thick foam pads and in the nose of the trailer, hoping that helps.
I'm going with either the jp 40 or the jp50. What I witless like to know is how long can the jp50 run on that Jackery 1000 if it's fully charged? I've heard everything from a week to just a few days.
Hello Ryan, my JP50 averages about 13 watt per hour of use, but this will vary according to how hot the ambient temperature is. You'll get about 900WH from a fully charged Jackery 1000 and that would get you about three days.
The BougeRV 53qt fridge is frighteningly similar for less $, but the compressor may not be the same..... Certainly, the lid is not the same, but still........
I'm not sure, but I'd suggest you click on the link in the video description on 11/24, when these sales usually start, to see if they are offering a Black Friday discount or not.
Good question with no good answer. They both work just fine but are way different in price. The ICECO is quieter and that's the only reason I usually choose to take it over the Alpicool.
Im sure liking your other fridge much better. I like the magnetic divider wall in the other fridge freezer i also think id rather have the 120v power cable with the brick. It just seems if or when its goes out you just replace the cord and brick. Im going to purchase on in the next week. I believe the smaller one similar to yours is going to be my pic. Love the videos. Keep them comming

Depends on what it is that you need to run.
I love when older man give reviews unlike many young guys with bleached teeth. Your video is so useful and you covered all my questions.

Hello Ed, I think ICECO is top of the line, being of high quality.
Looks like a nice refrigerator! These units are handy for camping RVing and we use ours for trips to Costco/grocery store also. We look forward to seeing you both again one of these days.
Us too!
Good revue Gonagain, had an old Koolatron twenty five years ago and it seemed to last forever.
A good compressor lasts for years.
I have the JP 40. This is an excellent product. Quiet and efficient. I also have one of the cheaper refrigerators and there is no comparison. The cheap one runs two to three times as much and is much louder.
Bought this based on your review. Thanks.
That's a good brand.
Wow, too cool!
Thanks for the review, very informative, design looks close to my ARB 50 QRT which I’ve had for over 10 yrs.
Thanks for watching Ken!
Always a pleasure to watch one of your videos. Merry Christmas and have a happy new year.
Thanks David!
I have mine on a pull out in my Travel Trailer and will hook it up to Solar Panels and my Bluetti AC200 this Summer for Camping.
That's perfect! Nice Bluetti you have.

Thanks for watching Sean. The Iceco costs more but sometimes you can find some good sales.
I dont know if you remember me. I asked you about your fridge. I was going to buy until I found out the trailer I plan on buying comes with fridge. Intech trailer and a Sequoia is going to be my purchase. Stay safe and happy!!!
You must be excited about getting the trailer. I know we would be! Best wishes.
Very nice quality product. Definte go to for me. Thank you for sharing and be safe.
Thank you cdLady54!
Great video on the ICECO, i am saving up for one in the stepvan ,thank you for sharing,big hugs from MN
We just got back from a month on the road with the Iceco and it did fine. It's really quiet.
Great review. Looks like it will do the job. Love all of your camping gear.
This refrigerator is hitting the road with us soon and I expect it will be fine. Thanks!
I got to be honest I don’t know why they’re using a black lid? I’d think it would absorb sunlight and have a reversed affect. Other than that the video was pretty 🥶!! 🤙

However it was designed for truckers and tested by truckers so choosing between the two is going to be a challenge. I am leaning towards the Iceco though!! Lol
The quality is there and it runs less than my other one, sitting side by side.
Good information they should pay you for such a good ad for them...
Hi Jimmy! Us folks who camp and travel need a decent beer cooler.
@@gonagain And food keeper as well...
Yes, and they're very efficient too.
I have one i really like it.
Good review, many thanks.Regards AJ
Great review, thanks!
Thanks Gringo.

I seen a vid of you reviewing the Alpicool fridge / freezer as well bewtween the two Alpicool and the ICECO which do you think would do the trick of lets say the weekend warrior type person?
ICECO is a notch higher, quality wise, and is quieter. Alpicool units are fine and their customer support has been great.
@@gonagain I just pulled the trigger on the ICECO JP50 along with the slide mount for the unit total of $758.00 but after the discount from honey it was 667.04
So have you information about it for 90 to 110 temps and how much more power for the extension
I don't have test results for higher temperatures like that, but it could use twice as much power, or 26WH per hour, easily. The long extension cord used about .5 volt more power.
Great video. How long does yours take to cool down? I have the jp40 and mine seems to take awhile to cool down. Seems to be taking longer to cool down than it should.
Mine only takes about a half hour to go from 70 degrees to 34. This is empty. Of course it would take longer to chill warm beverages, etc.
Will the temperatures stay consistent even if plugged into 12v cigarette outlet? Or would I have to keep it plugged into AC outlet for consistency?
Yes it will.
Have you ever done a video on how you and Linda met. I think that would be a great little video
We would love to. Hmmm...
How about a comparison between this one and your Alpicool T50 Dual Temperature Control 12 Volt Refrigerator. That would be very interesting 🤔
They both have their strong points and I wouldn't hesitate to take either one on a trip.
Good review.
We've been wanting to get a refrigerator but here in California they won't ship to us, hopefully we can pick one up in AZ when we go! Hi Linda!! 👋
Linda says "Hi" back! Yes, you'll get one in AZ.
My Alpicool works fine and does what it's supposed to. There is, however, a noticeable difference in the increased amount of time it runs when comparing it to the Iceco.
Iceco ships from and to California!
good job - old tony
I will stick to my Alpicool 😎👍
They work great too.

Will there be a Black Friday or cyber Monday sale for this Fridge?
I'm not sure, but I'd suggest you click on the link in the video description on 11/24, when these sales usually start, to see if they are offering a Black Friday discount or not.
@@gonagain Ok, thanks
I just watched your BourgeRV 12v refrigerator video, can you express a preference between the two without offending one of them?
They both work just fine! The Iceco does have the longer warranty on its compressor but the cost is also a lot higher.
I'll subscribe to this!
Thanks!
so I was wondering about how long can it run on that jackery before you have to recharge the jackery?
About three days, depending on the ambient temperature.
So which is better: the ICECO or the Alpicool?
Good question with no good answer. They both work just fine but are way different in price. The ICECO is quieter and that's the only reason I usually choose to take it over the Alpicool.
I bought the JP50 with the cover for $333 (tax included) on Amazon!
THAT is a good price!
Im sure liking your other fridge much better. I like the magnetic divider wall in the other fridge freezer i also think id rather have the 120v power cable with the brick. It just seems if or when its goes out you just replace the cord and brick. Im going to purchase on in the next week. I believe the smaller one similar to yours is going to be my pic.
Love the videos. Keep them comming
Thanks John!
How many watts of solar will it take to keep refrigerator running?
Some people do it with one lead acid battery and a 100 watt panel.
Did you give up on the Alpicool T50 Dual Temperature Refrigerator you said you guys really like. What happened ?
We still have it and use it regularly Rocky, I just get reviews to do on other products also.
@@gonagain Oh okay because I really like my Alpicool and with the app which makes it so convenient to check what's going on in side.. 👍🏼
I've been using mine this past week while testing out solar chargers. It just purrs right along.
Beer fridge... 😇😇
That's pretty "COOL".
Cold NA beer for you!
@@gonagain
Haven't had a real beer in over 20 years.
That's ok, we can still be friends.
Great review. Thanks!
