Mini size, maxi cold
The new compressor refrigerators are here. They are high-efficiency devices for small spaces capable of providing convincing solutions to the demands of the rapidly growing camper van market
Words Renato Antonini
Plans continue at IndelB to expand the range with the OFF brand launched in 2020. OFF targets people who enjoy an outdoors lifestyle, adventure and unconventional holidays. It addresses the RV world as a whole although camper vans are certainly the type of vehicle that can best accommodate OFF-branded equipment, designed to make life in the open air more comfortable. And now, a new range of refrigerators are joining the existing line-up in the wake of the presentation of the innovative Plein-Aircon 12V A/C unit. There are twelve new models of compressor-driven installation refrigerators of various sizes organised in three series: front-door models, drawer models and top-loaded models. The Elite range features five models with an elegantly designed front door. With a smart flush mounted handle and stainless steel effect finish, a door is designed to be seen, admired and puts its stamp in the kitchen unit where the refrigerator is installed. Importantly, the door has a smudge-proof anti-touch finish that makes cleaning easy. The smaller Elite EL42 and Elite EL 49 models

(42 and 49 litres internal volume) are designed to fit into small spaces in compact camper vans (like the Volkswagen Transporter and Mercedes Vito). The Elite EL65 and Elite EL85 intermediate models, on the other hand, are aimed at the large group of standard-sized camper vans for the European market. With a volume of 65 and 85 litres, they have a small
footprint but enough room for a variety of foods and drinks. Top of the range is the Elite EL130, which with its 130 litres of internal volume meets the needs of users who want to keep a large stock of food and drinks with them at all times. The vertical top-loaded series are at the other end of the range. They are small in size and designed to fit into awkward spaces, like on compact camper vans. Food and drinks are placed in the refrigerator by opening the top door. The Top Loaded TL16, TL27 and TL30 (16, 27, 30 litres of volume) are the smallest models, suitable for recessed installation in kitchen cabinets and other furniture items. The compressor is located under the refrigerated compartment. The Top Loaded TL29 and TL41, with capacities of 29 and 41 litres, are designed to fit inside chests. The OFF Drawer series of refrigerators are special (see Box). The new OFF refrigerator ranges are the result of the many years of experience of IndelB in the construction of refrigerators. The compressor is the same as that fitted on the OFF Cruise line of refrigerators. It is capable of combining high cooling capacity and quiet operation, with remarkable energy efficiency that keeps consumption low. Founded in 1967, IndelB has become a world leader in the production of compressor refrigerators for commercial vehicles, supplying manufacturers such as Iveco, Volvo, Scania, Daimler and Peterbilt. Over the years, the company has successfully combined the production of compressor refrigerators for RVs with original and aftermarket equipment supplies. “OFF is a young brand aimed at people with a young spirit “Real refrigerators but built on solid founwith a high cooling dations,” said IndelB Sales Director Gerarcapacity but a small do Boschi. “We have footprint” all the experience of IndelB that has been making refrigerators for various types of vehicles for over half a century.

Drawer refrigerators
The new OFF portfolio features the Drawer line of refrigerators. These are 12V compressor refrigerators suited for use in limited space and designed for installation in small camper vans. They are characterised by a front opening drawer, which allows the products stored inside to be put in and out from above. The drawer container slides out smoothly on sturdy guides. The inner compartment is illuminated by a blue LED light. Two versions are available, which differ in terms of both volumes (49 and 65 litres) and the size of the installation compartment. They both have a small internal freezer compartment with a temperature of -6° C. Custom versions of the Drawer refrigerators are also available. The front panel can be personalised. The door is supplied with special brackets for fixing an external panel to make it blend perfectly into the kitchen unit where the refrigerator is installed.
