The Dometic CFX3 Mega Thread

If you’re only putting in snickers ice cream bars then no. However if you pre pack it with frozen goods first then yes. And keep the fridge part full as well.

 

Depends. I ran a 75DZ for a couple years with just a 92Ah 27F AGM. I routinely ran it 5 degrees. It's probably not recommended, but it's doable. I'd take a way to jumpstart the battery if you run it too low. I have a PLB40 now and it makes it a lot less stressful.

 

Anybody running the 35 and regret the size?

I'm only a weekend camper, 2 of us, and 2 small kids, and I'm thinking it may be a bit small.

It's the only size that will fit under a 3rd gen tonneau cover, which I'd like to retain.

 

Hey @Dometic, what's the status on cfx3 slides?

 

Wife just bought the 95!!! Shocked me. Found it for the price of the 75. Gonna start building a new drawer system to incorporate it. Thinking I’ll set it up to be accessed through a windoor instead of messing with the slide outs. Those things are crazy expensive. Maybe build it set down into the drawer system with good venting space. Lose some drawer capacity but.... gonna have a fridge! Woot! Family of 5 btw.

 

Family of 5 as well. We did the 75 and don’t regret it. Just enough room for all of us. We did a mock camping setup since it’s either rain or 500 degrees recently. We still had room for more ice cream and stuff for a root bear float or 5

 

Nice. I'm looking at getting the 95. Mind sharing where you got the deal?

 

Wife found it at some place called backwoods adventure mods or something like that. Was based in Fayetteville Arkansas or somewhere near that I think.

 

Awesome. I am excited about it. Just have to figure out how to keep it powered efficiently now. Can’t have those snickers ice cream bars melting on me.

 

Nope. The 35 is great. Plus it’s better to have it full than only partial. Should be plenty of space for a few days.

 

Dam I would already need the fridge to make a drive like that from Cali. It's funny you mentioned Snickers Ice Cream Bars. For some reason I was craving one the other day when it was 107 degrees here. I drove to the dollar tree just to get one. I have a little time to get the fridge since the battery I bought (Bluetti AC200) won't arrive tell the middle of November. Hopefully Dometic will have a Labor Day Sale.

 

It has free shipping as well. I think she bought the last one in stock though.

 

$1325 on there website plus free shipping but yeah there sold out

 

My wife mentioned they were expecting a shipment in the next week or so with the 75 in the order but no guarantees. We didn’t want to risk it with a Trip in a few weeks.

 

@Bastek - The latest on the slides is that they now won't be available until late September. We'd hoped we would have them much earlier this year, but with the pandemic and it impacting various supply chains, they've kept getting bumped delivery-wise.

@Donkeythekidd - I don't have details yet, but I've heard that we will have a Labor Day sale coming. Hopefully, I'll get details this week confirming the sale and what the details will be. I'll share them here as soon as I can.

Thanks for update

 

Hi I need a little help , new to the fridge game . I recently bought a cfx3-35 and wanted the hardwire kit dometic makes but it’s not in stock ? I will be making my first trip next week and wondering if the arb kit will work ? Pictured below !?

 

Any standard 12v socket will work, and the appropriate gauge/length wire to go with it. Yes the arb kit will work, but you could wire in an always hot socket for much cheaper.

 

The ARB kit has the thread socket though, which is kinda nice. Still not sure I’d pay that much for it though.
