Dometic CFX3-45 Fridge/Freezer

Room for a proper supermarket run and the grunt to freeze it solid — the Dometic CFX3-45 is the go-to fridge/freezer for couples and small families fitting out a campervan conversion.

Benefits:
• Spacious 46L capacity (up to 67 cans) with a removable wire basket for organised storage.
• VMSO3 compressor freezes down to –22°C, even parked up in a Northland summer.
• CFX3 app adds Bluetooth/WiFi control, lid-open alerts, and energy tracking from your phone.
• Draws less power than a 60W lightbulb, with 3-stage battery protection built in.
• Tough ExoFrame body with reinforced corners handles rough roads and boat ramps.
• Built-in 5V/2A USB port charges your phone straight off the fridge.

Features:
At 46L with a removable wire basket, the CFX3-45 suits couples on extended trips or small families needing both fridge and freezer space. It runs on 100–240V AC, 12/24V DC, or solar, weighs around 18.7kg, and uses a high-resolution, IP64-rated display that shrugs off dust and splashes. Like the rest of the CFX3 range it's a portable unit rather than a fixed appliance, so there's no flush mount frame — build in a slide-out tray or secure strap-down point rather than a cabinetry cut-out.

Run it on its own fused circuit with properly sized cable; compressor fridges are sensitive to voltage drop, and undersized wiring is the most common cause of poor cooling in van installs.

Travelling lighter? The Dometic CFX3-25 covers solo travellers and couples on shorter trips in a smaller footprint.
