In this detailed video I show how I install a 3 way 12v/240v/Gas Fridge in to my VW T4 Campervan Conversion as well as building my own fridge unit from scratch. The fridge I am using is a good condition Electolux RM2262 (see link below) which is the larger model compared to the RM 212.
I build my fridge cabinet using the same high gloss sparkle worktop so it matches all other units in the van. To be sure the cabinet was made to measure, I used old ply to make a template to make sure the cabinet sat correctly to the panel beans in the van. Once I finish the cabinet, I proceed to cut the required holes in the side of the van for ventilation and the exhaust flue. After all the holes are cut in, I secure the vents in place with Sikaflex and proceed to install the fridge.
The wiring for the fridge is simple with a 12v supply being ran from the battery via a switched relay, with the ground to the van chassis meaning the fridge will only operate on 12v when the van is running. The 240v is fed directly in to my consumer unit on its own MCB. The gas is ran under the van to a T join where the supply is provided for the fridge and my Propex heater.

hi there just watched your video for first time because i am building my own van at 78 yrs old and i have just had a company fit a LPG tank underneath my van but they have fitted a white plastic coated pipe that they said had to go under, and also fitted a three way module for turning appliances off in an emergency as well as a single tap for gas off, is this because you are build a different system or they wanted to charge me more. ? I wish also you had covered more about cutting flue hole rather than two of the bigger vent. but it was helpful to a point and I will keep watching, thanks keep safe hope you have many happy trips away in your van. Best regards George Whitby N Yorkshire

Thank you for a brilliant video. I have a fridge in my campervan that was previously fitted before I bought the van .From your video it is obvious that it was incorrectly fitted despite that the seller provided me with a gas safety certificate... that was probably provided by his mate!

Thanks for an awesome video. As always really helpful, we’re also doing a LWB T4 high top conversion so your videos are perfect. We’re fitting a 3 way fridge but it hasn’t come with a flue hose/pipe, do you know what material it is made from so I can get something to replace it? Also we haven’t designed our van to be able to encase the fridge, do you think that’s an issue with the gas, of course we’ve got a drop out hole in our gas bottle locker but no point doing one for the fridge if it isn’t encased? Thanks for your help.
@TheCampervanBuilder
@TheCampervanBuilder 6 лет назад
Hi thanks, You can get flue replacement kits on eBay with the correct pipe fixings & vent etc. All 3 way fridges should ideally be encased as it's the airflow exchange from external vents that cools the system. If there is insufficient airflow then the fridge will not cool down enough. Also, any gas connection should have a gas drop out hole incase a connection fails.

GREAT VID I have the same fridge I wonder if I get it going on gas then switch it over to 12v solar? I wonder if it will work
@TheCampervanBuilder
@TheCampervanBuilder 3 года назад
It would kill batteries overnight as the 12v draw is high on these

Hey mate great video. I have a similar fridge to you, mine is an rm4401. I am just curious if i have to make an outlet for the flu if im only using the fridge on 12v and 240v?
@TheCampervanBuilder
@TheCampervanBuilder 3 года назад
You don’t need the flue unless using gas but still need the vents for air exchange

The flame on mine lights,but then goes out when i let out the flame switch. weather its on high flame or low flame.any advice? Thanks
@TheCampervanBuilder
@TheCampervanBuilder 4 года назад
Keep the flame switch pressed in once lit for at least 30 seconds before releasing as there is a thermocoupler that needs to open with the flame heat as a safety device. If it still doesn’t stay lit, you may have a blockage in the flue or burner chamber

Hi, i have almost the same type of fridge from Electrolux (from what i see only the refrigerator is kinda different in your model and smaller than mine) and i wanted to ask you if you never tried on 12V and how much time it takes to get cold. I see that you got 6C only in 2 hours and this is good, my fridge might be problematic or maybe because i've tried with 12V? It takes about 6hrs to get cold and only the refrigerator will feel real cold and almost frosty. Then the rest of the fridge will start to get cold also. Is that normal or they should getting cold together? Gas is also not working i will have to fix if i plan to use it. Thank you. (EDIT: i put it now on 220V and i will let it on for 3hrs to see if i get the same results)
@TheCampervanBuilder
@TheCampervanBuilder 8 месяцев назад
12v should only be used while travelling in the vehicle, not full time or it'd drain the battery very quickly. The idea with these is to use 240v before setting off to get it cold, 12v while travelling, then gas or 240v hookup what parked up at site
@darkovsky
@darkovsky 8 месяцев назад
Thanks@@TheCampervanBuilder for your reply. Just to let you know that it gave me very good results on 220V that i left it for 2 hours, the refrigerator was frosty and the main fridge was cool enough but at this time of the season is not the identical test (18C outside temperature) . I have a plan to test it in 220V again on a sunny day with the 200W solar panels by using the inverter cause at 220V seems to work really good. I know that it will consume about 120W and is a lot but if i can get it good cold only in 2 hours is not a problem and i will find a system (use it for like 6 hours in the daytime and the shut it off until the morning and hopefully will still be cold for the food inside) I am in dilemma if i replace it with a compressor 220V fridge that i can get 40W low power consumption but i see that even now those 50years old 3way fridges would sell 1500 euros. I saw a bunch of dometics in a website that dometic is Electrolux as you know. What do you think? And of course i will have to fix the gas working correctly ... maybe would cool even better.
