The Dometic CFX3 Mega Thread

If it’s different I may upgrade just for a new cover design. The old style cover for the CFX-75 is super annoying. The cover lid opens perpendicular to the fridge lid. Makes it a pain in the ass to get into the fridge.

 

Yeah I imagine. It makes sense because the lid direction is reversible, but it's not ideal

 

It has two zip pockets and a small molle panel on the side

The lid to the cover clips into the rubber gasket channel.

 

Holy fuckamoly I need one. So no more velcro to undo just to open the lid?!

 

@jowybyo looks like the DZ is a similar style as well

 

No Velcro. The lid opens with the fridge lid. Easy peasy.

 

That's brilliant. I'm going to order one at some point then.

 

Can you change the orientation of the cover the same way you can change the lid?

I flipped the way my 55's lid opens to better suit how i mounted it in the back seat.

 

Too bad you aren't closer! You could just buy my bedslide.

 

Yea, but a separate cover lid would be better with Velcro on both sides. Or you know, the new style seems to have solved this too.

 

It looks like the lid is just completely separate from the rest of the cover, meaning it doesn't matter which way you have the lid opening.

 

Yep. The cover for the lid is independent of the rest. So it can open either way.

Tx is a little far for a fridge slide. I’d really like a full length slide so that the fridge can slide out far enough to open fully with my campershell. Something like this...

 

Perfect! Thank you.

I purchased some full length slides from here: https://truck-hardware.orrorr.com/i...-lock-in-lock-out-full-extension-slide/h-8569
(email them for a quote, it'll be cheaper than the posted price)
Then I had @CaliRaisedLed bed up a tray for it, as I wanted as low a profile as possible to sit on top of my @DECKEDUSA system.

(This was for an ice chest, before I had the fridge, and has been largely retired now.)

 

Well, I will be moving to Albuquerque in September.... if that thing fits my fridge, that might be worth the drive to central TX if you’re looking to sell?

 

Sorry, I should have articulated better.

The bedslide is for sale because I replaced it with the decked system and metal slide.

I’m not using the metal slide right now, but I’m not to the point of selling it yet.

 

@jowybyo
Few pics of my cover.

I like it, fits nicely, provides some protection, and it is one of a few things I don't have typical "Buyer's Remorse" about.

 

Looks sick. Makes me envious. I might need to upgrade now.

 

Do you guys think the 35 size is enough? For now it's just 2 of us on trips that last no longer than 3 days.

 

No, I would go 40 (or 45, I can't remember what the next step up is).

 

When I was originally looking for a fridge, I wanted 40, but it doesn't look like they make them anymore in the new line CFX3. I wouldn't mind the regular CFX in 40, but I cant seem to find it anywhere.
