Flex R85S Upright Dual-Zone Fridge-Freezer

Short Product Summary

The Flex R85S Dual-Zone Camping Fridge-Freezer is a space-saving upright cooling solution for clients who want fridge and freezer flexibility without a traditional chest-style layout. With 82.7L total capacity, dual-zone operation, 12/24V DC power, Bluetooth app control, and cooling down to -20 °C, it is designed for 4x4s, caravans, trailers, boats, and off-grid touring.

Why This Product

When clients need organised cold storage in a tighter footprint, a standard chest fridge is not always the best fit. Access can be awkward, packing can become frustrating, and some setups call for a more upright, home-style layout that still works reliably on the road.

The Flex R85S helps solve that with an upright dual-zone design, separate cooling zones, and practical travel-ready features like battery protection, LED monitoring, and app-based control. For clients who want easier organisation, simpler access, and dependable compressor cooling in a compact vertical format, this unit offers a more practical way to travel.

Key Features

• 82.7L dual-zone capacity – Gives you generous storage for chilled and frozen items in one upright unit.
• Independent fridge and freezer zones – Separate compartments allow different temperatures for more flexible packing and food management.
• Upright design – Offers a more organised, home-style layout that may suit certain caravans, trailers, and vehicle builds better than a chest fridge.
• Cooling down to -20 °C – Compressor-powered performance delivers true refrigeration and freezing capability.
• Bluetooth app control – Lets you monitor and adjust temperatures from your smartphone.
• Digital LED display – Makes it easy to track temperature and battery voltage at a glance.

• Vibration-resistant construction – Built for demanding travel and off-road conditions.

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes

This upright fridge-freezer may be especially useful in caravans, trailers, canopy builds, and custom touring setups where vertical access is more practical than top-loading access. Before installation, it is worth confirming ventilation clearance, door swing clearance, mounting position, and compatibility with your DC power system.

Clients building a more complete touring or off-grid setup may also want to consider:

• Auxiliary battery systems
• DC wiring and outlet upgrades
• Solar charging solutions
• Storage and cabinetry integration
• Ventilation planning for enclosed fitment areas
