I have just bought the small Caddy Maxi California. It has no fridge as you will know. Does anyone know what would be a good one to buy to plug in. I can't find a mention of the ideal buy anywhere on line. Thanks. Nick
 
Welcome on board. Nice to hear of a Caddy California being bought, I still haven't seen one around. Can you really lie in bed looking at the stars though the glass roof?
I hear Dometic mentioned a lot as reliable plug in fridges, but they are expensive. Alpicool also gets good reviews, sells itself on being quiet, and is much cheaper
Would this fit?

The Ecoflow Glacier has some unique features like ice maker, dual zone and 40 hours wire free function. But just like Dometic.....at a price. It all depends on your needs and intended use.

Indel B also very good.

I have an Indel B TB15, which is pretty economical on power. Using an Anker PowerHouse 521, it will last 24 hours. It’s quite a compact solution, which may be a factor with the Caddy.
For something a little bigger, the Dometic CoolFreeze CDF 26 may be worth a look. Not sure what compressor it uses, but I know the Indel B uses a good quality Danfoss/SECOP one.

The CDF 26 is currently £340 on Amazon, which is a decent price.

Out of curiosity, is there a blind on the panoramic roof?

Can the TB15 fit between the front seats? TIA

On a T6, yes. It is quite a tight fit and does not move. The TB18 also fits.
The Caddy does not have the space between the front seats though, so won’t work for that.
 
I saw one a few days ago at VW Camper Centrum in the Netherlands and...... there was also a fridge standing next to the car. So you could give them a ring (or e-mail) and they might be able to tell you shich fridge they suggest.
