- We give an update on our recent adventures as well as a review of the Alpicool C20 refrigerator.
Here is the Slim Potatohead video on this fridge:

Been driving around with this in the back of my RX300 fir 3 years with no troubles.
Thumbs up for your shout out to slim👍. His video on the C 20 is the reason why I’m watching your video😁
Thanks for watching! Slim is definitely one of my favorites, he has a lot of good information.
No one actually showed how to fit a gallon of milk into these things, so here’s another subscriber for ya!
Alpicools seem to be reliable (using the ubiquitous LG compressor) but as a company, I believe they’re dead. None of their numbers work, so you can’t even get the warranty or sponsored though you definitely deserve it. Still worth it for the price though.
I’m hoping to get a similar camper once Ford F-150 Lightning is out in my driveway one day (hopefully soon) ;)
Happy adventures and thank you!
I did a lot a research before buying this one, but also noticed how nobody showed the gallon of milk inside!
Luckily I haven't had a reason to contact Alpicool directly, but that's disappointing to hear.
Keep us posted on your future rig! We'd love to see it in action!
Simple. Put milk in some soda bottles
G,day Mate
I live in Queensland Australia about 250 mls inland to day it's the 6th of January 2022 and today it will be about 96 f . I have an identical fridge
( ice block brand) and have had it for over 3 years now . it lives in the back of my SUV, I have a 250W solar panel mounted under the roof racks
And a 115 amp AGM battery in the back, never had any trouble , runs all the time. Never been turned off, gets used daily for cold drinks , lunches etc. Highly recommend. I think they all come out of the same factory in China with different names.
Enjoyed your video, apart from the snow. It looks a bit like home!!
All the best to you and yours

Hey there!
I agree, there are a lot of different brands but they all seem similar quality...luckily, for us frugal folk!
Glad to hear your setup is working good for you. I'm sure our geography is very similar. Hot and dry!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Take care!
Thanks for showing what can fit into the fridge! Great review
Its tough to visualize what you can fit inside these compact fridges, glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Good video, good review! I have had my c20 for about 2 weeks and I really like it!
Thank you! We've had ours for about a year now and love it! Not having to worry about ice in a cooler makes taking cold food a breeze!
Thanks for your review, i think i finally found what i’m looking for
You got it! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much, just bought mine!
I hope the video helped! I hope you make a whole bunch of memories with it! Thanks for watching!
Great video ,I can't believe what you fit in that little cooler new to you channel just subscribed. I'm looking at getting one of these and you were very helpful just a question how large of solar are you using and how many batteries, I'm so tired of buying ice does it hold up if you are gone on a long trip. Liked that you recommend slim potato head ,love his videos also Thanks so much for sharing Dale
Welcome and thanks for subscribing! I have one 100w solar panel charging two 35Ah batteries from harbor freight and have never had an issue running out of power! Keep an eye out, we'll put a video out explaining our system soon. Thanks for watching!
@@thebestadventure Hi, loved this review as well. I'm also interested in your solar setup and connections. Can you share a quick video about your setup? It's a bit dizzying to find one that fits my situation on youtube, and I plan to buy the Alpicool C20 and power it with a 100 watt solar panel as well. I only have one deep cycle battery at the moment, but planning to add a second one. Thanks in advance!
@@funvideolearning absolutely! Keep an eye out soon! Thanks for watching.
Will a 2 liter stand up?
New subscriber here. Love the vid but one question. Do you just plug that into you camper or do you have like a jackery type battery?
Hey there, and welcome! I have a simple solar setup with a couple deep cycle batteries from harbor freight rigged up, but a jackery type battery or external battery would work as well!
1:52 That is the weirdest restriction regarding COVID. So they want you to stay near others so that we can transmit the virus. Seems opposite to me.
10:33 - 10:36 Thanks for showing capacity like that.
I didnt quite understand it myself... We were just happy they allowed us to camp at all! Thanks for watching!
Mine runs 95% time. It's humid about 80 where I am
I always turn mine on a few days before any trip and let it get cold while I load It up. Thanks for watching!
Good vid
does this have solar plugin?
Unfortunately, the C20 does not have a solar plugin. It has options for a 12v or 110v plug.
Hope that helps!
@@thebestadventure oh okay. You fit a lot into that C20. Makes me confident in ordering the C30. Thanks for the info. Great video 👍🏼
Having trouble with mine. It’s hit or miss whether it wants to work or not. Had it a few years and forget how to program it I guess. I used to just plug and play and it was good to go. Lost a lot of food last trip b/c it just would cool up all. Thought plugging and unplugging was the fix but it’s inconsistent. Figured maybe I just need to let it run all the time so it doesn’t have to work as hard off 12 volts to keep temp up. It currently and often just reads F1 and is not cooling. 🤷 any help? Thanks I
An "F1" code is telling you that your battery voltage is too low. You might need to replace your battery, or perhaps change your battery protection setting! Hold your "set" button down until it shows H1, H2, or H3. I keep ours set on H1, which allows the battery to drain to the lowest setting before turning off the fridge. Keep me updated!
Hi,
How much ice can it does ?
Hi! If you're asking about storing ice for use in drinks, a 10lb bag fits with room to spare. Otherwise, it depends on how many items you have in the fridge, other than the ice. Hope that helps!

Eggs should be good for over a week. I never refrigerate my eggs and they last for weeks.
Yes sir! We don't refrigerate our home grown eggs since they still have the natural bloom on the shell. But, I know a lot of people do, so I wanted to include it.
Thanks for the comment! And thanks for watching!
@@thebestadventure Thanks for the review. The gallon of milk test is critical.
Eggs don't spoil man
Hello!
We don't refrigerate our home-grown eggs since they still have the natural bloom on the shell (preventing them from spoiling). However, I know a lot of people DO refrigerate their store-bought eggs so I wanted to include it.
Thanks for the comment! And thanks for watching.
@@thebestadventure ive seen plenty of rotten eggs. they must have spoiled somehow.
Burns out after a year don’t buy it
Hey Cranky!
That unfortunate to hear! We've had ours for 2 years now with frequent use, and still going strong...hopefully that continues for us.
Thanks for watching!
You’re drinking all the milk and ya know it bro.
