Introducing the Equator Compact RV-Marine-Offgrid Convertible Refrigerator-Freezer, the ultimate cooling solution for life on the move. Designed to operate on both 12V DC and 110V AC power sources, it’s perfect for RVs, boats, yachts, tiny homes, and off-grid living.
With 1.4 cu.ft. refrigerator capacity and 0.21 cu.ft. freezer capacity, it offers the flexibility to store fresh produce, beverages, or frozen goods. Its convertible function allows you to switch effortlessly between refrigerator and freezer modes to match your needs.
The wide temperature range (-0.4°F to 59°F) ensures optimal preservation in varying conditions, while Fast Cool and Max modes give you control over cooling speed and efficiency. Running on just 45W, this appliance is energy-efficient and ideal for power-conscious users.
Its compact dimensions (21 x 15 x 19.3 inches) and quiet operation at 42 dBA make it perfect for small living spaces where noise matters. Built with marine-grade durability and backed by a 1-year parts & labor warranty plus 2-year compressor warranty, it delivers both performance and peace of mind.
An optional AC power adapter (sold separately) converts 110V–240V AC to 14.5V DC for flexible use anywhere.
The Design Process
The Objective
To create a compact, energy-efficient, and versatile refrigerator-freezer that meets the unique needs of RV travelers, marine users, and off-grid living.

The Team
A collaboration between Equator’s engineering, industrial design, and product testing teams, along with input from RV and marine specialists. This diverse team ensured that the product not only met functional performance standards but also offered practical storage solutions for real-world travel conditions.
