How Totalcool came to be

Our story

About us

In the summer of 2015, two longtime friends, James Burt and Adam Drinkwater, set out on a new journey, one rooted in their shared love of caravanning and boating. Their friendship, spanning more than three decades, had cultivated a mutual appreciation for life on the road and water—and they wanted to elevate that experience for others. With this ambition, they founded TOTALCOOL, envisioning a way to make life on the move more enjoyable and comfortable.

Driven by their vision, James and Adam saw a gap in the market for a cooling system that combined British craftsmanship with affordability, portability, and efficiency. The result was the TOTALCOOL 3000, a cutting-edge evaporative cooling system designed specifically for campers, boaters, and outdoor enthusiasts. What started as a small-scale operation, with sales primarily through trade shows and online platforms in the UK, quickly grew. The quality and innovation behind TOTALCOOL’s products resonated with customers, fueling expansion across Europe

Today, the TOTALCOOL brand has grown into a family of products that includes the TOTALFREEZE compressor fridge freezers and the TOTALPOWER lithium battery banks. Each product is designed with the same commitment to quality and reliability, catering to the unique demands of life on the go. TOTALCOOL is now a name recognized for durability, innovation, and trustworthiness.

The company operates out of Clitheroe, Lancashire, where Adam and his dedicated team brings expertise and passion to every aspect of the business. Totalcool also operates out of Hoogeveen with the passionate and experienced outdoorsman Erik Dolderson at the helm. At TOTALCOOL, customer satisfaction is a priority that extends far beyond the initial purchase, with a personal approach that ensures each customer feels supported. The team genuinely cares about the products they produce and the people they serve, striving to make every adventure easier and more enjoyable.

Choosing TOTALCOOL isn’t just about buying a product—it’s a lifestyle choice. Whether you’re exploring new destinations or seeking adventure closer to home, TOTALCOOL products are there to support your journey, providing reliable comfort and peace of mind wherever you go.

In essence, when the heat is on, TOTALCOOL is the one.
