When it comes to life on the road, keeping your food and drinks cold (or frozen!) makes all the difference. Whether you're heading out for a weekend escape or a long-haul journey, having a high-performance fridge is essential. That’s why we love the Dometic CFX5 line — reliable, efficient, and packed with features that make your adventure even more seamless.
All of the Dometic CFX5 electric coolers have the following awesome features:
- Vacuum insulated panels
- VMSO 3.5 Compressor
- Temperature range of -7 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit
- Weatherproof high res display
- Reliable and stable interior
- 5 year limited warranty
- Bluetooth smartphone app
- Powered by AC or DC power input
With a few models to choose from, it can be tough to know which cooler fits your needs best. Here's a breakdown of three popular options from Dometic’s CFX5 line: the CFX5 75DZ, CFX5 55IM, and CFX5 45DZ.
Dometic CFX5 75DZ – The Dual-Zone Powerhouse
- Capacity: 75L
- Cooling Zones: Dual zone (independent fridge and/or freezer)
- Weight: ~60 lbs.
- Dimensions: 34.9 x 19.5 x 18.6 in
- Input current: 9.7A at 12V, 1.1A at 100V
If you’re planning extended trips or full-time van life, the CFX5 75DZ is the ultimate upgrade. With a true dual-zone setup, you can independently control one side as a fridge and the other as a freezer — perfect for long journeys where food storage variety matters. It’s the largest of the three, but still fits comfortably in many Adventure Wagon layouts.
