It’s all coming together nicely! I managed to get my OH interested in you Episode 15’s yesterday and it’s made the 12v and 240v set up much clearer-thank you. Fingers crossed we’re collecting our van tomorrow 🤞🏻so we can make a start on it.
Hey Nicci 👍 Ah cool… There seem to be quite a few options on the electrics… the other things I would consider if doing it again would be a company called Rayne Automotive that offer a complete fully wired solution based on your layout or also a fully contained unit by a company called Sergent… Also I think mine could have been a lot tidier too 🤣 But we actually in the van right now on our first stop over!! On hook up and all working as planned so can’t grumble! Great news on the van pick up tomorrow and good luck getting started! Drop me a comment if there is anything at all I can share from what I’ve done then no worries at at #vanlife 👍
Hi pal … I bought the same one but from alpine campers. It is actually an alpicool fridge. If you get the alpicool app for your mobile you can choose setting etc on the phone.
I know you put this vid up quite a while ago but looking at that fridge it looks like the freezer compartment is about half of the fridge. Is it not too big ??
Being honest… not really used the freezer part too much 😂 So maybe yeah.. freezer to fridge ratio not the best 👍 it’s been great though.. no issues, pretty good on usage etc.. keeps the beers cool 👌
Hey mate hope you see this, fitted one a week back and noticed it’s constantly running and drains my battery fast (130amp) did you leave yours on one line for energy efficiency? From reading the booklet it seems 3 would be better
Just in the process of converting my old work van and have one of these to fit. Can you open that enough to take the freezer bits out with it fitted there? Cant quite make it work in ours so far.
Hi thanks for checking out the video 👍 Yes you right with it in this position it’s not possible to open wide enough to remove the freezer section 😢 We have left it in as we have used it to keep the beers extra cold 🥶 👍
Hey Dave, nice video. Have the same kitchen setup and fridge. How do you screw in the fridge to the furniture? Just fitted mine but because the wooden wall are a bit a far I'm scratching my head how am I gonna screw it in?
Thank you! Yes you right.. what I did (rightly or wrongly) in the end was screw through the two little plastic feet of the fridge onto the floor.. it’s stable enough I feel and not had and issues so far after about 12 months or so.. the other option might be to pack out the inside or cupboard and then screw into that from the Fridge 👍
@@TransitCustomCamper thank you. That's an option for sure.. I've seen other videos of yours regarding the fridge. So you connected the fridge straight to the switch panel and then it's goes to the fuse box fridge, Tap/ pump, led lights too. What size of fuse did you use to feed the S.panel to the fuse box?
Hi @Transit Custom. Over time how have you found the fridge. I have one and with the freezer sides took out and freezer and fridge set to lowest (warmest) setting it still tends to freeze things in the fridge. Thanks.
Hi 👋 thanks for the comment 👍 to be honest we haven’t used it that much but when we have it’s been OK and no issues with freezing items in the fridge part… Although we do have the freezer section left in ours… hope you can get it sorted 👍
3:17 Love the label on the left hand switch, but.... can you reach it from the drivers seat or do you just hope the van stays on the road as you dash into the back 🤣🤣🤣
Hi love the videos really helpful I’ve bought the same fridge and used it for first time last week up in Scotland we took the freezer compartment out to give us more room but noticed some of our food was freezing up just wondering what settings you run your fridge on thanks
Ah cool… sorry pardon the pun 😃 We left the freezer compartment in ours and have to be honest I think the settings I put on the video is how I left it… Again being honest not used it much only a couple of times since the install… There is a separate setting for freezer section as I recall so might be worth increasing that maybe? To try and sort the frozen food? Thanks again for kind comments and checking out the content! Massively appreciated 👍
keep a eye out for the wires at the back because it looked like you connected thick wires from the fridge to thin wires at the back witch can overheat and burn out............
Hey Birdie - thanks for the comment! I will double check the AWG rating for the fridge wire again against the wiring I had in place and the distance. I did check before fitting but the last thing I want is a fire risk! If I find any issues I’ll also make sure I edit or add a correction too. Thanks again for pointing it out, very much appreciated 👍
Hey! Hrmm not too sure.. You can set the temp of the fridge and also separate for the freezing area.. have you checked that? If still not getting cold then might need to contact the supplier.. ours gets cold pretty quick usually within 30 mins when ambient temperature is fairly cool anyway..
Hey 👋 Ah cool thanks! So far so good with the Fridge.. don’t use it too often but when we do cools down quick, pretty efficient and quiet and most important keeps the beers cold 😀
Just bought this fridge and instructions say it needs to run straight from a leisure battery rather than the inverter, you know if this is right? or how you did it?
The model I have is 12v only so wouldn’t need to be run though an inverter assuming you wanting to do that to run from 230v? Mine runs direct on the 12v system.. but when I am on hook up I also have a battery charger also so can run the fridge and also keep the leisure battery topped up 👍
New questions for you i just brought the sanjo 85 litre..how long is the wire to connect to battery roughly...what size wire do you recommend if the wire doesn't reach the batteries awg..and i will be installing a in-line fuse holder looked up there saying 20amp fuse???.
Hey - I am not 100% sure on the Sanjo model to be honest. I know for the JK50 there was a specified max distance of about 2 metres I think. On the AWG I would check what the thickness is on the original and look to match or uprate it… Also on the inline fuse I’d use what is suggested so if they say 20amp I would do that 👍 Sorry I couldn’t be more specific but also don’t want to give any advice that could cause an issue for you ⚡️
@TransitCustomCamper thanks for the info..i was talking with a lad who was installing wiring in a microwave in my companies truck..he gave me 10mm single core wire which he was using on the microwave...and said i would need a 40amp fuse.
Fantastic video Dave. I just start binge your conversion videos. I'm currently doing my own conversion and about to buying a fridge. I was wondering if after 4 months, would you still recommend this one, compared to the Dometic CRE50 which is about £100 more
Hey Rory! Thanks for the message and checking out the videos 👍 my wife always wonders how people could binge watch my videos 😂 So yes been really happy with the Fridge.. no issues, runs pretty quiet, get to temp quickly and efficient on the battery too.. I don’t have a direct personal comparison with the Dometic as just not used a dometic myself.. But personally I think it’s a really good unit at £100 less.. I think also they might be on offer atm? For £399 just looking at their website now - www.justkampers.com/jkf50-jkf-50-black-12v-compressor-fridge-freezer.html?fee=1&fep=29148&gclid=CjwKCAiA866PBhAYEiwANkIneHWJhgo6OEPiEXR_XCkGCPtBgnjoVD3S9gznTUiiPsoJiiRdi-KLWhoCOfkQAvD_BwE
@@TransitCustomCamper haha 😂 my girlfriend would say the same thing about me. Fantastic you’ve give me a lot to think about. thank you for taking the time to get back to me
Hey Steve 👍 I believe it draws about 0.9 amps per hour. Ambient temperature can impact the efficiency quite a bit I believe.. I’ll keep you posted how it operates in the real world mate… If you see an unhappy video of me with a warm beer… then you will know why 😂
Hello Dave, Merry Christmas to you and your family. Could you please explain how you fitted the fridge? Did you drill through the sides as indicated in the instructions. Seems like a rather odd method of fitting and I don't want to break the fridge.
Hey Daryl! Thanks for the Christmas wishes - same to you too 🎄 yes that is what I did as there were screw points in the fridge that I think/hope are designed specifically for that fixing 👍 the info with the fridge indicated that too. I don’t know if there are alternative methods? I might take a look for my next build 😀
@@TransitCustomCamper Hello Dave, thanks for the Christmas wishes. I think the main concern I had was that a screw would effectively pop out of the wooden units on the left side looking at the fridge as mine is positioned like yours. I guess I just need to carefully think about the length of my screw 🤔
@@zmiles364 - ah yes sorry I should have mentioned i attached some battens on the inside of the cupboard to screw into as I had the same concern 👍 I should have covered more of this in the video really 😃 I’ll have to do a follow up video on it!
@@TransitCustomCamper Yes that would awesome if you could. I am going to fire over some photos soon as I've just got the ignition feed for the Ctek, fitting some led strip lights and the fridge to go in before the bed is ready. On that one, which measurements did you find were best for the bed? Full length or 3/4? Thanks for all the help Dave, your videos have been very inspiring and even more helpful!!
Yes it’s still cold 🥶 - honestly though yes it hasn’t missed a beat to be honest.. we don’t use if very often but when we do.. cools down quick, stays cold and efficient on the battery plus quiet when compressor kicks in.. Only thing would be that the freezer area for us not used at all 👍
Hi - thanks for the comment 👍 The fridge itself is great when we use it… I think in hindsight we don’t use it enough really! The van is a daily driver so 99% of time we not using it… I think based on us only doing the odd night away maybe in a cool box may have been OK 👍 But that is based on how we use the van really 👍
Got my fridge, just starting to change its door over and there's no instructions, and I'm always cautious about breaking things. Luckily I remembered you had this in your video. Thanks, it's all sorted now
Thankyou for .aking your videos, its made wiring my van a lot easier! Question with the fridge, will it just run on 12v or can you use it on the electric hook up side as well?
Hey Jack - thanks for the kind words and glad the videos have been of some help 👍 This fridge is just for 12v only. Originally we were planning a 2 way so to run on 240 or 12v but just went with this in the end and been really happy with it - cools down really quick - we usually turn it on when we travel then the beers are nice and cold when we arrive at our destination
@@TransitCustomCamper when you connect to EHU, does the battery charger keep the 12v running too? So you dont lose power to the fridge/usb/lights etc... Sorry for all the questions just a bit confused with it
@@TransitCustomCamper sorry yes i mean electric hook up. My understanding is when connected to electric hook up, the smart battery charger will keep the 12v charged therefore the fridge will still work?
@@jackharris5957 - yes 👍 The battery charger gets its feed from the hook up and this then charges the leisure battery that powers the fridge, lights, TV… all the 12v stuff.. we had this on for 2 days solid recently on hook up and all worked fine… there have been times we switched the fridge off too.. only as it stays cold enough too for ages once it’s at temperature 👍
Yeah all good 👍 it cools down really quick and to be honest we usually power it off during the night to save battery as keeps the beers cool enough.. it is pretty efficient too and quiet enough… we don’t use it loads though as the van more used as a daily driver and occasional camper 👍
Ah thanks mate - really appreciate that… I have to be honest as well that not been able to deliver any new content for a while now.. we had a family member unwell and that has taken up all my spare time 🕰️- hoping I will get some more time soon and bring some new content - hopefully with a new project 👍 Thanks for the support though
@@TransitCustomCamper life's busy. I know that more than most. Both my children race mx. Never enough hours in the day and I also work away from home..sorry to hear of your families misfortunes I think is the word. I'll catch up with earlier episodes. Sure that will keep me busy..thanks
Afternoon bud..if u don't mind I have a few questions..did u literally just connect your fridge up and press go? I had mine on for 6hours on Saturday. It drained my leisure battery (130ah lead acid battery running off 150w solar) and it dropped a massive 3 degrees 😂 have I done something wrong do you have any idea what the e1-e10 settings should be?
That’s what she said 😂 Sorry… at first no.. but after I put some screws through the plastic feet on the fridge as opposed to the internal into the side of the cupboard 👍
The instrutions actually say to just set the refrigerator temp when using all the space. Ie freezer compartment taken out. And use the freezer setting for the hoke fridge when freezer compartment installed. That said my fridge still freezes following these rules. Annoying.
Hi Kieran - I haven’t done a full test to get exact but I’d say about 0.8 ah per hour dependent on ambient temperature so could change. It takes about 30/40 mins to get to temperature. After that I rekon comes on a couple of times as hour maybe?! It’s difficult to say for sure as the main test was the beer being at the right temperature 😄 Also I haven’t used it running just off the leisure battery.. I have only used when on hook up and with the smart battery charger running at the same time too to keep leisure battery topped up.. hope that helps a bit? If you do anything more scientific let me know 👍
Hrmmm - I have to be honest I didn’t see that ? I was just glad it fit in the hole 😃 I assume it means above inside the furniture? Not sure how many would have that space?
@@williamdixon5354 - to be honest have not used the Fridge much at all let alone the freezer 😃 As it’s more a daily driver for us. I think prob removing the freezer part is possible. I’ll have to check what I have temp set to next time I am I the van and I’ll let you know 👍

Ah nice one cheers! Did not know that I’ll take a look! Thanks for the comment
It may be a good idea to add ventilation for your fridge by cutting away part of the left sidewall of the cabinet and adding screen.
Ah cool 👍 thanks for the tip
What’s size cable did you use to wire all your lights and fridge ect ?
It think from memory it was mostly 14 AWG gauge.. but usually the appliances etc have a rating that is suggested also so worth checking 👍
