  Product Description
The Vango C-Pinnacle 25L is a compressor-driven cool box that runs from mains or 12V/24V vehicle power, making it suitable for campsites with electric hookup and off-grid trips alike. With a 25-litre capacity, it holds around 30 standard drinks cans and uses R600a refrigerant, which has low environmental impact compared to older refrigerants. The temperature control spans from -22°C to +20°C, so you can use it as a proper freezer for ice packs and frozen food, or dial it back for keeping fresh produce chilled. The LED display panel shows the current internal temperature and lets you switch between ECO mode for quieter, lower-power operation and MAX mode when you need rapid cooling after loading warm items.

Polyurethane insulation keeps the internal temperature stable, and the unit maintains cooling performance even when tilted up to 30 degrees, which matters when you're parked on sloping pitches or driving on uneven terrain. At 46 decibels, it runs quieter than many compressor cool boxes, so it's less intrusive inside a caravan or motorhome overnight. The internal LED light helps you find what you need after dark without shining a torch inside, and there's a drain plug at the base for clearing out meltwater if you're using ice alongside the compressor cooling. Strong side handles make lifting easier, though at 25 litres filled with drinks and food, you'll want to lift with your legs rather than your back.

This energy-efficient compressor cool box draws just 35W, making it ideal for use with leisure batteries and solar setups on off-grid adventures. With 12V and 24V compatibility, it connects effortlessly to cars, campervans, trucks, and motorhomes without adaptors. For best performance, pre-cool it on mains power before travel to enjoy faster cooling on the road. Compact yet spacious, it fits neatly in most vehicle storage areas or car boots, providing reliable chilled storage for food and drinks wherever your journey takes you.

Frequently Asked Questions


What's the difference between ECO mode and MAX mode on the Vango C-Pinnacle?
ECO mode runs the compressor at lower power to reduce battery drain and noise levels, suitable when maintaining an already-cool interior or when running off leisure battery for extended periods. MAX mode runs the compressor at full capacity for rapid cooling, useful when you've just loaded warm items or need to drop the temperature quickly, though it uses more power and runs slightly louder.
Can the Vango C-Pinnacle freeze items or is it just for cooling?
This cool box reaches temperatures down to -22°C, so it functions as a proper freezer when set to minimum temperature. You can freeze ice packs, store frozen food for several days, or keep ice cream solid. The temperature range goes up to +20°C at the other end, giving you full control between deep freeze and gentle cooling for items like salad or wine that you don't want frozen.
How much power does the Vango C-Pinnacle draw from a leisure battery?
The unit draws 35W when the compressor is running, which translates to roughly 3 amps per hour from a 12V supply. The compressor cycles on and off to maintain temperature rather than running continuously, so actual consumption depends on ambient temperature, how often you open the lid, and whether you're using ECO or MAX mode. On a 100Ah leisure battery with solar backup, you can typically run it for a full weekend, but without solar charging you'll need to monitor battery levels carefully.
Does the 30-degree tilt tolerance mean you can use it while driving on hills?
The 30-degree short-term inclination rating means the compressor continues working properly on moderate slopes and during normal driving on hilly roads. This matters because compressor cool boxes contain oil that needs to circulate correctly, and excessive tilting can affect cooling performance. You shouldn't store it permanently at severe angles, but it handles typical camping situations like sloping pitches or being in a moving vehicle without losing cooling capacity.
What's the benefit of R600a refrigerant in camping cool boxes?
R600a refrigerant has a Global Warming Potential of just 3 compared to older refrigerants that scored in the thousands, making it significantly better for the environment. It's also energy-efficient, which matters when running off battery power, and it's non-toxic. Most modern compressor cool boxes use R600a because it meets current environmental regulations while delivering reliable cooling performance across the full temperature range.
Can you run the Vango C-Pinnacle while driving or should you turn it off?
You can run this cool box from the 12V socket while driving, which keeps your food cold during long journeys and takes advantage of the alternator charging your vehicle battery. The polyurethane insulation and tilt tolerance mean it maintains temperature during normal driving conditions. Just make sure it's secured properly so it doesn't slide around, and check that your vehicle's 12V socket can handle the 35W draw without tripping any protection circuits.
How long does it take the Vango C-Pinnacle to cool down from room temperature?
Compressor cool boxes typically take 2-3 hours to pull down from ambient temperature to refrigerator temperatures around 5°C, and longer if you're aiming for freezer temperatures. The cooling time depends on how full the box is, the starting temperature of the contents, and ambient conditions. Pre-cooling on mains power at home before your trip saves battery power and means your food starts cold rather than warming up then cooling down again during the initial hours.
What size cool box is 25 litres in practical terms?
A 25-litre capacity holds approximately 30 standard drinks cans with some ice packs, or enough food for 2-3 people for a weekend camping trip. It's the sweet spot between portable single-person cool boxes around 15 litres and family-sized units at 40-50 litres. The size fits in most car boot spaces, motorhome storage areas, and awnings without dominating the available room, while still providing enough capacity for a proper camping trip rather than just day use.
