Our verdict
For owners of an R50, CR65 or CR85X RV fridge who want a separate frame to hold the unit in place or set it flush with a countertop. Look elsewhere if you need frame dimensions or a material list, because the page gives neither. The main caveat is that the cooling and performance statements are the store's own.

- Owners of an R50, CR65 or CR85X RV fridge who want a separate frame to hold it in place.
- Skip if
- You need frame dimensions or a materials list, since the page gives neither.
Why 3.4/5: Lifted by a variant for each named fridge model and an FAQ that says what the frame is for and that it is sold separately. Held back by after-sale wording that differs between the store's pages, a mostly negative Trustpilot record that cites support, and no independent test.
The RV Fridge Installation Mounting Frame is a separate frame for the store's R50, CR65 and CR85X RV fridges, listed from $149.99. The page says it lets the refrigerator be assembled easily and tightly and lists integrated ventilation openings, and its FAQ says it secures the refrigerator in place and can make it flush with the countertop. It names the R50 as a 45L fridge (1.6cu.ft), the CR65 as 65L (2.3cu.ft) and the CR85X as 85L, but gives no frame dimensions.

Options and pricing
Three variants, one per fridge model: R50 Installation Frame at $149.99, CR65 Installation Frame at $165.99 and CR85X Installation Frame at $176.99. All three were in stock when read and the page shows no crossed-out price. The FAQ says the frame does not come with the refrigerator and is an optional choice to purchase separately.
How it compares
The frame is named for two fridges that appear as siblings: the Bodega Cooler CR65 65L RV Portable Freezer from $479.99, with its CR65 frame at $165.99, and the Bodega Cooler CR85X 83L Upright RV and Truck Fridge from $559.99, with its CR85X frame at $176.99. The Bodega Cooler Portable Fridge Slider with Buckle Straps at $168.99 is a slider with buckle straps listed for portable refrigerators, not an installation frame.
Shipping, returns and warranty
Shipping: the shipping page offers free standard shipping around mainland US from US warehouses (the FAQ names California, Texas and Pennsylvania), with 1 business day of processing, a tracking email once the order ships, and no delivery to PO, APO or FPO addresses; the address cannot be changed after shipment. Some products can go to Canada, Germany and Italy for an extra $35 (8 to 15 business days) or to the UK for an extra $60, while the FAQ says every product ships to the continental US, only part of the range to Canada and only the detachable battery to Europe. Returns: an order can be cancelled within 24 hours by email or phone; after it ships a double shipping fee comes off the refund and a 2% transaction fee may apply. A return within 30 days needs an email to [email protected] for a return authorization first, an unused, uninstalled product in its original packaging, and shipping back within 7 days of the refund confirmation to the Rancho Cucamonga, California address; the buyer pays the shipping, while for a defective or damaged item the store says it refunds the shipping fee after photos or video. Orders bought from Amazon, Walmart or other resellers are not covered. Exchanges within 30 days carry a restocking fee and shipping that vary by brand. The page gives the refund time as 3 to 7 business days in one place and up to 7 in another, and the FAQ says 1 to 3. Warranty: the warranty page promises 2 years on products bought directly from bodegacooler.com, with the exact period on the last page of the manual, and also says a 1-year warranty extends to 2 years by registering the product (the FAQ says register within 10 days of purchase); it covers defects in materials and workmanship, not misuse, accidents or unauthorized repair, and not products from third-party sellers. Some product pages state other terms, such as a 5-year compressor warranty with 1 year on the rest, 24 months on the compressor and accessories, or a 5-year product warranty. Payment: Klarna, American Express, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, PayPal and Visa, plus regional methods such as Boleto, THAI QR PromptPay, Rabbit LINE Pay and ShopeePay, according to the FAQ.
Before you buy
The page shows 7 customer reviews with 57% of them five-star in the store's own widget, which we could not verify. Reputation: on Trustpilot (read on the Australian site) bodegacooler.com is a claimed profile with a TrustScore of 2.6 from 16 reviews, 25% five-star and 69% one-star; the company rarely replies, and the newest reviews (August and September 2026) describe a 100-quart unit with about 60 quarts usable, a replacement that froze the fridge side, and unanswered support. A June 2026 review of a 3-door Bodega cooler sold on Amazon (The Inventory, which names no model code and may not cover this item) cites a 2.5/5 TrustScore and reports of damaged units and slow support. A web search found no BBB profile. The bodegacooler.com domain was registered on 27 May 2019. The store's FAQ says only one promotion code can be used per order and offers new customers 12% off fridges for subscribing to its newsletter, and some pages advertise their own sales and codes.
What we liked
- Each of the three variants is tied to a named model: R50, CR65 or CR85X
- The page states the capacity each frame is for, with cubic feet given for the R50 and CR65
- A page FAQ says what the frame is for, that it is sold separately and that basic tools are typical for installing it
- Every frame variant was in stock when read
- The page lists integrated ventilation openings
Worth noting
- The 'Product Dimension' heading lists the three frames with no dimension figures after them
- No frame material or weight is given, and installation gets one FAQ line without steps or a hardware list
- The efficient-cooling and maximum-performance statements have no figures behind them
- The frame is an extra purchase on top of the fridge, priced from $149.99 to $176.99 by model
Questions before you buy
What is the mounting frame for?
The page's FAQ says it secures the refrigerator in place and makes the refrigerator flush with the countertop. The page also lists integrated ventilation openings.
Does the frame come with the fridge?
No. The page says it is an optional choice that has to be purchased separately.
Can the owner install it?
The page's FAQ says installing the frame is typically a straightforward process that can be done with basic tools. It gives no installation steps, hardware list or dimensions.
Where does Bodega Cooler ship and how fast?
Free standard shipping covers mainland US from warehouses in the US, with 1 business day of processing; no PO, APO or FPO addresses. Some products can go to Canada, Germany, Italy (+$35, 8 to 15 business days) and the UK (+$60), but the FAQ lists fewer destinations, so check the product before ordering abroad.
What is the return window?
30 days from purchase for an unused, uninstalled product in its original packaging, after an email to [email protected] for a return authorization. The buyer pays the shipping unless the item is defective or damaged; cancellation is free within 24 hours of ordering. Orders from Amazon or other resellers are not covered.
How long is the warranty?
The warranty page says 2 years for purchases from bodegacooler.com, or 1 year extended to 2 by registering the product within 10 days of purchase (per the FAQ); the manual names the exact period. Some product pages state other terms, so keep the order number and ask support before relying on one figure.

What we couldn’t verify
- The page describes the CR85X frame as for an 85L RV fridge, while the store's own CR85X fridge listing says 83L; the page does not explain the difference.
- 'Product Dimension' is followed by the three frame names and colons but no figures, so frame size, material and weight are not given.
- The ventilation, cooling-efficiency and maximum-performance statements are the store's claims with no figures or test.
- The refund policy gives the refund time as 3 to 7 business days in one place and up to 7 in another, while the FAQ says 1 to 3.
- The warranty page says 2 years and also 1 year extended to 2 by registering; some product pages state other terms, such as a 5-year compressor warranty with 1 year on the rest, 24 months on the compressor and accessories, or a 5-year product warranty.
- No independent test of this model was found in the web searches made on 21 October 2026, and the page's own copy is the only source for its figures.
