Clearview has you covered!
Clearview Fridge Slides are more than just a luxury – They’re a practical upgrade that provide ease and convenience to your outdoor dining experiences.
Clearview fridge slides bridge the gap between the practicality of chest fridges and their accessibility challenges, ensuring you get the best of both worlds.
Keeping perishable foods fresh and drinks cold, no matter where you are is an important consideration when touring. Portable chest fridges have been popular amongst outdoor enthusiasts, campers, and travellers for many years. In comparison to portable upright fridges, they have several distinct advantages.
One of the main drawbacks of portable chest fridges is their height, and fully loaded weight, when in the back of the vehicle. Add a 2” lift to the vehicle and suddenly, accessing your food and drinks becomes a mission that requires a portable caravan step!
This is where Clearview’s Fridge Slide Range comes in handy!
If you’re leaning toward a chest fridge but are still concerned about its accessibility or setup requirements, investing in drop-down fridge slides can significantly enhance your experience. They make managing a chest fridge effortless.

When it comes to portable refrigeration for your vehicle, two popular options come to mind – chest fridges and upright fridges. While upright fridges are commonly integrated into canopies by manufacturers because they’re lighter, cheaper, and more compact than a chest fridge & slide combo, they might not always be the most practical choice. On the other hand, chest fridges offer a host of unique features and advantages that make them an excellent solution for many users.
If you’re unsure which type of fridge to choose, keep reading to explore the pros and cons of both options, as well as how products like fridge slides and drop-down fridge slides can simplify your setup.
Advantages of Chest Fridges Over Upright Fridges
1. More Storage Capacity
Chest fridges offer a deeper and wider space, making them perfect for storing bulkier items. Upright fridges, while compact, often have more limited storage space tailored for smaller items. For those long road trips or camping adventures, the extra room in a chest fridge can make all the difference.
2. Better Insulation for Superior Cooling
Chest fridges are more insulated than upright fridges, allowing them to maintain cooler temperatures for longer, even in hot climates. This consistent cooling performance ensures that food and drinks stay fresh, no matter the weather. Conversely, upright fridges can struggle to maintain temperature in high heat.
3. Energy Efficiency
Thanks to their top-opening design, chest fridges are more energy-efficient. This design minimises cold air loss when the lid is opened, ensuring that internal temperatures remain stable. Upright fridges, on the other hand, lose cold air quickly when their front doors are opened, requiring more energy to maintain optimal temperatures.
4. Versatility and Longevity
One major advantage of chest fridges is their ability to be functional regardless of your vehicle’s angle. Whether you’re parked on a hill or uneven terrain, a chest fridge will continue to perform flawlessly. Additionally, chest fridges require less ventilation space and have a design that protects compressors and heat exchangers from potential damage, extending their durability.
5. Portable and Dual-Use Convenience
Need extra fridge space for a party or barbecue? Chest fridges are truly portable; they’re easy to remove from your vehicle and repurpose for home use to store drinks, food, or leftovers. Uprights, however, are often more fixed in their application and less practical for such occasions.
Challenges of Using Chest Fridges
While chest fridges have undeniable advantages, they aren’t without their challenges. One common drawback is their height and fully loaded weight, which can make accessing items inconvenient – especially if your vehicle has a lift kit installed. Reaching into a loaded chest fridge in the back of a raised vehicle can be a challenge without assistance.
Enter fridge slides, such as the Clearview Easy Slide and Power Slide. These innovative accessories address the accessibility issue by lowering the chest fridge to an ergonomic height.
Here’s why these fridge slides are a game changer:
Durability and Performance: With a sturdy construction, these slides not only make chest fridges more accessible but also ensure that the fridge remains secure when you’re on the go.
Ease of Use: The drop-down mechanism of the Easy Slide and Power Slide offers smooth, controlled movement, making them ideal for lifted vehicles.
These solutions bridge the gap between the practicality of chest fridges and their accessibility challenges, ensuring you get the best of both worlds.
Why Choose Upright Fridges?
It’s worth noting that upright fridges aren’t without their merits. For canopy manufacturers and users looking for budget-friendly and compact options, upright fridges are often the go-to choice. Here’s why:
Smaller Footprint: Upright fridges take up less horizontal space, leaving room for other gear in your setup.
Lighter Weight: A single upright fridge is generally lighter than the combined weight of a chest fridge & drop down fridge slide combo, which is a key selling point for canopy manufacturers.
Cost-Effective: Upright fridges are generally cheaper than a chest fridge and fridge slide combo, making them a wallet-friendly option for those with basic refrigeration needs.
However, upright fridges are typically better suited for situations where storage needs are minimal, and high insulation performance isn’t a top priority.
Combining Chest Fridges and Accessories for the Ultimate Setup
Choosing between a chest fridge and an upright fridge ultimately depends on your specific needs. If you’re after larger capacity, better cooling performance, energy efficiency, and versatility, a chest fridge paired with a Clearview fridge slide is a winning combination. For those seeking a compact, lighter, and more cost-effective solution, upright fridges may suffice.
No matter your choice, having a reliable refrigeration setup is essential for any adventure.

Outdoor enthusiasts often face the challenge of keeping their food fresh and drinks chilled while enjoying life.
With 12V chest fridges becoming a popular solution, the question arises: Is a fridge slide necessary?
Ultimately, a fridge slide adds an extra level of convenience to your outdoor excursions. While not absolutely necessary, it could be a game-changer for many, mitigating the drawbacks of a fully loaded portable chest fridge. Whether it’s the easy sliding access or the ergonomic drop-down access, a fridge slide might just be the missing piece in your camping setup
A straight fridge slide is a mechanism that allows you to slide your fridge out far enough to access its contents.
A drop down slide is usually mounted on a drawer system or within a canopy and works in a similar way to the straight slide in that it slides horizontally out from its stowed position, before the drop mechanism is engaged, allowing you to lower the fridge to a more accessible height.
The primary goal of drop down fridge slides is to make accessing your portable fridge or freezer as easy, safe and efficient as possible. No more struggling to reach for a cold drink or meal while you’re out living your best life.
A drop-down fridge slide is a mechanism that allows you to easily slide your fridge or freezer in and out of your vehicle or outdoor kitchen setup. It is designed to securely hold and protect your fridge while providing easy access to your food and drinks. The “drop-down” part refers to the fact that the slide can be lowered to a lower level for easier access, and then raised back up to its original position for storage.
Clearview offers two drop down fridge slide ranges; the ever popular Easy Slide range and the new lightweight aluminium Power Slide™ range!
