I believe the compressor system is different (i.e 230v ones have one!) and the movement would cause problems with unsettled gasses etc, but I am sure someone else will be more thorough.
i see no technical reason why not, but it would have to be left to settle for an hour when you arrive before you switch it on, it might not take to being shaken around too much either, lots of people use the smaller beer-cooler type tho
"An older fridge may easily survive a move across town, especially if the rough road route is avoided or taken very slowly, but if you are moving across the country, consider selling it and purchasing another once you get there."
I fitted a small domestic mains fridge in a 1978 Viking Fibreline. Well secured and with space left within the undersink cupboard for air circulation. I used it for 3 seasons (until I exchanged the caravan earlier this year). The fridge handbook recommended leaving the fridge for two hours after transit, which we always did. The fridge always worked well and to no ill effect. I fitted a homemade fridge catch to the cupboard to prevent the fridge door from opening during transit, and to prevent the door from fully closing when not in use. The down side was that the fridge was not powered during transit, but providing it was fully cold before moving on it was still cold enough on arrival at our destination. (Not true of the freezer compartment though).
------------- Bongo and caravan - best of both worlds.
I,m not disputing the fact that transporting domestic fridges is not a good idea & you should let it stand for a while before switching on, however;
When we had a trailer tent for 5 years, I used a small domestic fridge all the time.Put it on a couple of days before we were going away, then in the back of the car to the campsite, into the trailer tent then swicthed on straight away.
No problems at all.
Now we have a caravan I still use the fridge as our "drinks one", transport it inside the caravan, then leave it in the awning when we are at campsite.
