The Truma Cooler portable fridge/freezers are the perfect mobile fridge for camping, traveling, and leisure. Truma Coolers reliably cool or freeze products down to -8° F (-22° C), even in high ambient temperatures. Dual Zone models, like the Truma Cooler C96DZ, include two individually adjustable temperature zones allowing campers to have both a refrigerator and a freezer on the go. Truma Coolers are built for continuous and robust use, with reinforced corners and stainless-steel hinges. Truma also took special care to make their fridge/freezers flexible and space-conscious by adding 12/24 volt connections on both sides of the cooler as well as allowing the lid to be installed to open from either side. The handles also fold flush to the side walls to save valuable space in the rig.
The Truma Cooler C96 DZ can be controlled via Bluetooth with the Truma Cooler App, available as a free download on the App Store and Google Play. The Truma Cooler App allows campers to check their cooler’s temperature and control functions remotely within Bluetooth range. This is perfect for long road trips so a passenger can check the temperature on their phone and make adjustments on the road. This eliminates extra stops to check the cooler and ensures you never arrive at your destination with spoiled food or melted popsicles.
Available functions of the Truma Cooler App include:
