Product Description

The Quest Nuuk 3 Way Fridge is a 43-litre absorption fridge built for caravan, motorhome, campervan, and camping use. It runs on three power sources: 240V mains electric, 12V DC, and LPG gas (butane or propane), giving you genuine flexibility across pitched-up campsites and off-grid stays alike. The auto-switching between 240V and 12V takes away the guesswork when you arrive or leave a site, and the piezo ignition makes lighting the gas simple. At 16kg and with a gross capacity of 43 litres, it's sized well for couples or small families who need more than a coolbox but don't have the space or budget for a built-in motorhome fridge.

How does a 3 way absorption fridge keep food cold without a compressor?

The Quest Nuuk uses absorption technology, meaning a heat exchange process cools the interior rather than a mechanical compressor. This produces completely silent operation and cools the inside to 25°C below the ambient temperature. It draws 75W on both 12V and 240V, consumes 1.02 kWh per 24 hours on mains, and burns 14.2g of gas per hour when running on LPG.

Because there's no compressor running, the Nuuk operates in complete silence — something that matters when your fridge is a metre from where you sleep. The low wattage draw of 75W on both AC and DC means it won't trip campsite hook-up limits, and 1.02 kWh per 24 hours on mains is modest enough to keep running costs low. On gas, consumption runs at 14.2 grams per hour, so a standard 4.5kg butane cylinder will keep the fridge running for roughly 13 days of continuous use. Category i3+ rated and compatible with 100% butane at 28-30mbar or 100% propane at 37mbar, the Nuuk is set up for Calor Gas and most standard UK LPG supplies without any adapter needed.

The fridge comes with a 12-month warranty and is backed by Quest's reputation for building leisure products specifically for the UK caravan and camping market. The 43-litre capacity is large enough for a full week's worth of food and drinks for two people without constant reorganising. It sits in the portable fridge category, so it works well as a standalone unit in a campervan, a second fridge in a larger motorhome, or a primary fridge for camping trips. If you're fitting it into a fixed space or running it on gas, it needs to be level during operation as the absorption cooling system requires this to function correctly and safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 3 way mean on the Quest Nuuk fridge?

A 3 way fridge can run on three separate power sources: 240V mains electricity, 12V DC (from a leisure battery or vehicle), and LPG gas (butane or propane). The Quest Nuuk switches automatically between 240V and 12V, and uses piezo ignition for gas operation. This means you can keep the fridge running continuously regardless of which power source is available at your location.

What type of gas does the Quest Nuuk fridge use?

The Quest Nuuk is rated category i3+ and is compatible with 100% butane at 28-30mbar pressure or 100% propane at 37mbar. This covers Calor Gas butane and propane cylinders, which are the most widely available LPG supplies at UK campsites and outdoor retailers. Mixed gas (LPG blends) is not recommended — use a single gas type only.

How long will the Quest Nuuk fridge run on a gas cylinder?

The Quest Nuuk consumes gas at 14.2 grams per hour during continuous operation. A standard 4.5kg Calor butane cylinder contains approximately 4,500g of gas, giving around 13 days of continuous runtime at maximum consumption. A 7kg cylinder extends this to roughly 20 days. Actual duration will vary depending on ambient temperature, how often the door is opened, and how full the fridge is.

Does the Quest Nuuk fridge need to be level to work?

Yes. The Quest Nuuk uses absorption cooling technology, which relies on a chemical heat exchange process involving circulating ammonia and water. This system requires the fridge to be level during operation. Running an absorption fridge on an excessive tilt can reduce cooling performance and may damage the cooling unit over time. This applies when on gas or 12V/240V electric. Use levelling ramps or a spirit level to check your pitch before use.

How much power does the Quest Nuuk fridge use on 12V?

On 12V DC, the Quest Nuuk draws 75W, which equates to approximately 150 amp-hours over 24 hours of continuous operation. This is relatively high for a leisure battery setup, so the 12V mode is best suited for shorter journeys or periods where the engine is running and the battery is being charged. For extended stays without mains hookup, running the fridge on gas is the more battery-friendly approach.

Is the Quest Nuuk fridge noisy?

No. The Quest Nuuk uses absorption cooling rather than a mechanical compressor, so it produces no audible noise during operation on any of its three power sources. This makes it well suited to use in campervans and caravans where the fridge is located close to sleeping areas. Compressor fridges, by contrast, cycle on and off audibly throughout the night.

Does the Quest Nuuk fridge switch automatically between power sources?

The Quest Nuuk automatically switches between 240V mains and 12V DC power, prioritising mains when it detects it is available. Switching to or from gas operation is manual and requires using the piezo ignition to light the burner. This auto-switching between electric sources is useful when arriving or leaving a campsite hookup, as it removes the need to manually change settings each time.

What is the difference between the Quest Nuuk fridge and a coolbox?

A coolbox uses thermoelectric technology to cool relative to the ambient temperature, typically achieving around 20-25°C below the outside temperature, but performance drops noticeably in hot weather. The Quest Nuuk is an absorption fridge, meaning it uses a heat exchange process to maintain cooling more consistently across a wider range of ambient conditions. At 43 litres and with three power sources, it is designed for sustained food storage rather than day trips.
