Dometic camper van fridges represent the gold standard in mobile refrigeration technology, offering professional-grade cooling solutions specifically engineered for van conversions and off-grid living. The range spans from compact 44-litre models like the NRX50E through to larger 200-litre capacity units, featuring both compressor and absorption cooling technologies. These fridges run efficiently on 12V/24V DC power systems, making them perfectly suited for leisure battery setups and solar installations commonly found in modern camper van builds.
The compressor models in the NRX and CRX series deliver exceptional energy efficiency, with real-world testing showing consumption as low as 0.3kWh over 24 hours, whilst maintaining consistent cooling performance regardless of ambient temperature. The NRX series replaces the CRX series. Operating at noise levels between 35-45dB, these fridges feature multiple operating modes including Eco, Boost, and Silent setting, allowing users to balance performance with power consumption. Built-in features include removable freezer compartments, reversible door hinges, and integrated touch control panels with LED displays for precise temperature management.
Professional van converters consistently choose Dometic fridges for their robust construction and reliable performance in mobile applications. The latest NRX series offers up to 25% better energy efficiency compared to previous generations, featuring full-width door handles, winter ventilation modes, and flexible interior layouts with adjustable shelving. However, these premium features come at a higher price point compared to basic coolboxes, and installation typically requires dedicated 12V electrical systems with appropriate battery capacity for extended off-grid use.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much power do Dometic camper van fridges consume on 12V systems?Most Dometic compressor fridges consume between 0.8-2.5 amps per hour when running, with models like the NRX50E using approximately 25Ah over 24 hours in real-world testing. The actual consumption depends on ambient temperature, usage patterns, and operating mode selected (Eco/Boost/Silent).What's the difference between Dometic NRX and CRX camper van fridges?The NRX series is the newer generation offering up to 25% better energy efficiency, modern matte black fronts, quieter operation, and improved interior layouts. CRX models are the previous generation with grey fronts and slightly higher power consumption, though both series offer similar reliability and performance.Can Dometic camper van fridges run continuously on leisure batteries?Yes, when properly sized. A 100Ah lithium battery can typically run a Dometic NRX50E for 3-4 days without charging, whilst a 200Ah system provides week-long operation. Solar panels of 200W+ can maintain fridge operation indefinitely in good weather conditions.Do Dometic camper van fridges require external ventilation?Most Dometic camper van fridges feature built-in ventilation grilles and don't require external ventilation panels, unlike larger caravan models. However, adequate airflow around the unit is essential - ensure minimum 50mm clearance on sides and rear for proper heat dissipation and optimal efficiency.Which Dometic camper van fridge sizes are available for van conversions?Dometic camper van fridges range from 20L drawer models (CD20S) through 44L compact units (NRX50E), 65L mid-size options (CRX65), up to 140L+ large capacity models. The 50-80L range proves most popular for typical van conversions, balancing storage capacity with power consumption.Are Dometic camper van fridges suitable for year-round living?Absolutely. Dometic compressor fridges maintain consistent cooling performance from -20°C to +40°C ambient temperature, making them ideal for year-round van life. Winter modes prevent condensation issues, whilst multiple operating modes allow optimisation for seasonal conditions and varying power availability.
