When you're out on the road in an RV, overland vehicle, or boat, few things ruin a warm summer afternoon faster than lukewarm drinks and a melted bag of convenience store ice. Buying bagged ice on the road takes up precious cooler space, leaks melted water everywhere, and forces frequent supply runs into town.
The BODEGACOOLER Portable Ice Maker solves this hassle. Designed specifically for outdoor enthusiasts, road trippers, and RV owners, this compact unit offers 12V DC and 110V AC dual-power versatility, letting you make fresh ice continuously directly from your vehicle battery, portable power station, or RV shore power setup.

Why Dual-Power (12V/110V) Is a Game Changer for Campers
Traditional countertop ice makers only operate on 110V AC household power. This means off-grid campers must run an inverter, which drains power station batteries through unnecessary AC-DC power conversion losses.
-
Native 12V DC Input: Plugs straight into your car, truck, or RV cigarette lighter socket or 12V DC port. It bypasses inverter inefficiency, making it ideal for solar generators and auxiliary battery banks.
- Standard 110V AC Input: Plug it into your kitchen counter, outdoor patio outlet, or RV shore power when parked at a campsite.
Key Performance Advantages
1. Rapid Ice Production (First Batch in 6–9 Minutes)
When setting up camp after a long drive, nobody wants to wait hours for cold drinks. The BODEGACOOLER unit produces its first batch of 9 bullet ice cubes in just 6 to 9 minutes. Over a 24-hour cycle, it yields up to 15 kg (33 lbs) of ice.
2. Fast-Cooling Bullet-Shaped Ice
Bullet ice features a smooth, rounded surface with a hollow center. This shape increases the surface area exposed to your drink, chilling beverages significantly faster than thick square cubes while remaining gentle on blender blades for smoothie and cocktail preparation.
3. One-Touch Self-Cleaning Function
Cleaning camping gear shouldn't be a chore. The built-in self-cleaning program circulates water through the internal lines to rinse out mineral buildup and keep your ice tasting clean and fresh without manual scrubbing.
Dual-Power Ice Maker vs. Bagged Ice
| Traditional Bagged Ice | BODEGACOOLER 12V/110V Ice Maker |
| Takes up 50% cooler space | Makes fresh ice on demand |
| Melts into soggy water | Produces dry, clean bullet ice |
| Requires ice runs into town | Endless supply off-grid / solar |
| Single-use plastic waste | Eco-friendly, reusable operation |

FAQs
1. Can I run this ice maker directly off my 12V RV or car battery?
Yes! The BODEGACOOLER Portable Ice Maker includes a native 12V DC power cable, allowing you to run it directly from your vehicle's 12V socket, an auxiliary battery bank, or a portable solar generator without needing an inverter.
2. How much ice does the machine make in a day?
The machine produces up to 15 kg (approx. 33 lbs) of bullet ice in 24 hours, yielding a fresh batch of 9 cubes every 6 to 9 minutes.
3. Can I use tap water or river water when camping?
For the best ice clarity, taste, and machine longevity, always use potable drinking water (bottled, filtered, or boiled/purified water) to prevent mineral scale buildup on the heating/cooling elements.
