For campers who aren't sure what they're searching for, buying a specialised Dometic fridge can be a difficult undertaking. The market for caravan and camping fridges is enormous, with many different brands and types to choose from. As a result, comprehending the dense language and vocabulary can be challenging. Our guidance will come in handy in this situation.

Types of Dometic Fridges

Most Dometic fridges fall into one of two categories: compressor or three-way absorption. Dometic fridges use a compressor with moving mechanical parts to promote cooling, similar to home refrigerators. Dometic fridges with compressors use 12/24V and 240V power. Off-the-grid campers or individuals who camp out for extended periods of time and enjoy being off the grid may appreciate compressor Dometic fridges. These Dometic fridges are more energy efficient than their competitors, allowing them to maintain stable cool temperatures even in extremely hot conditions. They are also capable of running over difficult terrain.

Dometic 3 Way Fridge

Three-way absorption Dometic fridges, on the other hand, are unique. Three-way absorption refrigerators can be powered by a variety of sources, including LPG and 12V/240V power. Liquid ammonia gases are mixed together in a system of pipework at the back of the fridge to create cooling. Here are some things to think about when buying a Dometic refrigerator:

What are your camping habits?

Because the chilling mechanisms employed by compressor and 3-way absorption fridges differ, each has advantages and disadvantages for various types of campers.

Caravanners: Because 3-way absorption fridges can be powered by a caravan's fuel supply and a 240-volt power supply, they are popular among campers who primarily stay in caravan parks.

Off-the-Grid Campers: These campers typically use both types of Dometic fridges. Compressor refrigerators use far less energy than 3-way absorption refrigerators and can be powered by a solar/battery system. However, some campers want to be able to survive solely on their own on-board fuel supply.
