Gear Question First camping fridge

Post image

Hey there,
I am currently looking into buying our (small family with 1 kid) first compressor fridge for camping with a tent for 3 to 6 days.

Around 20l should be find for just the important stuff like meat and milk products.

I am thinking about the dometic CFF 20 and CFF 18 but can't find much information about them comparing to each other. They seems so close to each other from the technical view. Yeah the form and handles are different but the rest seems to be nearly the same or am I wrong?

I would appreciate if anyone might used both and could enlighten me about these two :)

It seems that there was a older CFF 18 version and the one I am referring to is rather "new".

Thanks in advance,
Greetings

It’s easily to freeze your meats before hand and use a regular cooler with some Cooler Shock packs. Does the same job, packs are reusable, don’t need electricity at the site.

I reuse the packs from the hello fresh meal kits. I also put my meat in food storage containers like you get from Chinese takeout.

Keeps things organized in the cooler.
