I totally agree with Jim. I've been watching several of these freezer to frig conversion videos and this was the most direct and useful one I've found. Thanks so much for taking the time to share it!

just the info I was looking for! scratching my head over DC type EXPENSIVE RV fridges, etc. -- I've often wondered about the use of a chest type freezer AS a fridge -- but for residential purposes rather than RV'ing though now that I have an RV (trailer) I'm definitely now leaning in the direction of this off-the-shelf freezer->fridge option. my motto has always been -- "whatever works -- use it!" this solution of yours works. I think I'll use it!

This is incredible, a conventional refrigerator costs $100-200 every year just from electricity costs and these can cut your energy costs down to about $20 per year.

Great video! Thank you for sharing your expertise on converting chest freezers to refrigerators.

never thought about these hacks! im not even using it for an RV but for my room. lol THANKS ALOT!!!

Thanks Mike! Enjoy camping in the beautiful southwest!

I've operated three 8cf freezers as refrigerators with these Johnson controllers in my BBQ food truck. Work well but there is a fairly significant temperature on/off variation because the inside air stagnates on the bottom. I haven't got around to it yet but a definite improvement would be to place a small ac muffin fan on the top of a PVC pipe or a eave through section to circulate the air top to bottom. This would be powered from the compressor plug and mounted in the corner of the fridge. It would keep the temp far more uniform and improve overall performance.

Great idea.

I use a 5 cubic foot freezer for a refrigerator. I use it off grid through my inverter. I don't use an external temperature control. I simply keep the entire bottom filled with one gallon or half gallon frozen jugs of ice. That allows me to run the freezer just about 4 hours a day keeping the food on top nice and cold. I simply manually monitor this a couple of times a day. No problems.

I was off-grid in an RV/camper setup in southern Colorado for a couple of years. If it has to run the propane furnace a lot it will end up taking a lot of the electricity for the blower fan as well. Refrigeration isn't too bad by comparison. If you've super insulated something then it will help

I'd like to share my results on a similar project. So there are a number of variables here that I'm aware of so technical guy out there just sit back and relax. I bought a brand new Magic Chef 3.5 C. Ft. chest freezer (June 2019). I bought a digital temperature controller and set the fridge/freezer compressor to turn on at 40F and turn off at 37F. Once off, I recorded the temp continuing to drop as low as 30F before it would start the slow temperature climb back up. I found it interesting that the temperature dropped another 7 degrees after turning off. Also note that I had the unit completely empty, unit already at the desired temp and it was placed inside my house at a constant 78F when I started this test. After 48 hours, here were the results of my freezer to fridge conversion: My kill-a-watt recorded that it only consumed .238 KWH (which if I calculated correctly, is only 5 watts an hour on average). Of the 48 hours, it ran 7 hours and 40 minutes. I noted that when the compressor turned on, there was a momentary spike of 700-800W but leveled off very quickly to around 60W. I forgot to log the time it would run before turning off but I would guess under 2 minutes. Also, the temperature controller was measured at idle fluctuating between 1.2 and .2 watts but I noticed it typically sat at .7 watts most of the time. Understand that if you wanted to run this setup, you would also have to account for the draw/consumption of an inverter. Although I own one, I was not able to test the usage on the inverter as I don't have a tool (yet) to measure the DC 12 volt side. Regardless of the exact accuracy on my basic test, it's pretty clear that it is extremely efficient. I'm convinced now that it's the way to go for off-grid refrigeration for at least short term. I've heard there is an issue with water collection in chest freezers once they are converted so in a long term situation, that would have to be addressed. If you are attempting to get even more efficient you can shell out a lot more money on a 12volt refrigerator or freezer but for just my camping needs, that would be too expensive. I spent $110 on the chest freezer, $40 on the digital temp control and $225 on the inverter. You could easily spend less on an inverter but I had other items I wanted to run off my system so I got one that was rated for much more than what the chest freezer required. I hope this helps someone out there curious to semi real world numbers on this kind of set up. I'm surprised there isn't more data/info on this subject on youtube. The lack of it is what caused me to go do this on my own so I could see for myself. I forgot to add that I never opened the door either (except maybe once) which could also help account for my extremely low consumption. In a real world situation, this would be getting opened much more frequently. Regardless, this is still a very efficient option. And thank you for sharing your informative video.

@@erikbjork3715 Remember, I mentioned that during my test I didn't do this using an inverter because I didn't have a way to measure a 12volt current draw. I had the chest freezer plugged into the temperature controller and the temp control into the kill-a-watt meter and then the meter into a 120v outlet in my house. However, I do own a 2000w pure sine wave inverter and I was able to use my set-up a few weeks ago. I had 2 100 watt renogy solar panels connected to two 100amp hour deep cycle lead acid batteries in which I connected the inverter, Temp control and chest freezer to. The first day worked great as there was sun all day even though I was in a pretty heavily forested area. The next 6 days it was mostly cloudy and I had to keep moving the panels to get any chance at direct sun. I was limited by the amount of tree shade and the clouds unfortunately. Consequently, I had to run my generator each afternoon for about an hour to just top off the batteries and make sure the chest freezer worked throughout the night. I think had I not been in such a wooded area, I would not have had to run the generator at all, even with it being cloudy. So there really is no conclusion, this will be an on going and ever learning excersise. There are always so many variables to every situation and within that same situation the variables can change again. I already have plans for next time to tweak the system and hopefully get better results. Hope this helps👍

I did not check all of the links above. I find Amazon does this to quite a many of you. The product is there, the affiliate is not, as I had to keep digging to find it. The freezer link worked. Blessings on your travels.

Good review and a lot of great advice here about the way you park and all the details you mention to conserve energy, very frugal and efficient indeed. You made a lot of good points here, one of ur issues could be overcome by making or getting a nice fitting foam box/container sleeve to fit in the top half or so of ur fridge/freezer setup, cut some elongated slots in side for grasping handles to remove when u want to get a frozen product out from below deck, and use the top half as a fridge, u would need to turn down the thermo of course, but I have done this and it works pretty good. Another small tip is to wire the thermostat to a contactor to activate the inverter when the thermostat calls it up, this can use significantly less power through discarding the inverter idle drain between cycles. Cheers

Interesting hack using off the shelf parts. Cold air will leak between the leads and door seals. Drill a hole through the fridge wall and seal with expanding foam insulation. (Pick a spot free from the internal gas cooling piping). I've seen another tutorial on improving efficiency by adding insulation, spacing the radiator coils from the fridge and installing a heat shield between the compressor and fridge body.

You may be tied with space, but get a 7cf one if you can. It is pretty hard to find stuff. I run a chest fridge off a micro and it only runs during the day on solar. It never lets the battery drop below 90% of full charge. The temp runs very close to 32F and there is lots of cold stored in liquids that is used to keep it thru the night. Some fridges are terrible at stratification of temperature. I run an internal computer fan to keep the air circulating. Otherwise the lower part will freeze where the coils are located. You will condense lots of moisture so make it easy to drain the bottom. I run with only a single car battery doing this.

Also, what do you think about setting it to freezing temp and then adding a small plastic igloo type cooler for your fridge items in the freezer.

A lot of these setups seem to run 40-80 watts with the inverter losses included. They don't run constantly though. Standby power when it's not running might be 5-20 watts depending on the models. I think I've seen around 600 watt hours for the day. It depends how hot the air around it is also. If it's hotter it takes more than when it's cold so good ventilation helps a lot. I have thought about building one with another 2-4 inches of foam board all around just to see what it's like. Then have a vent door into the freezer vent from outside with a thermostat controlled flap that vents heat inside or outside depending on weather and preference. Even with the setup as is in the video the 200 watts of solar is pretty solid if the panels face the sun as well as possible. I would say at this point. Lithium batteries bury lead acid already. A diy kinda person can watch a short video on KZread assembling a battery out of 4 280ah lithium cells for less than $500. That makes approximately 3600watt hours. About three times a lead acid. But it's as good as 5 or 6 lead acid and will last 5 times longer as well.
