WITH THE Projecta 12-volt system and MSA Power Slide fitted in the Trig Point canopy on our Ranger, we could finally install our portable fridge. For this application we’ve gone with a CFX3 45 from Dometic as it fits in the space available to us and should be more than adequate for our needs. Dometic tells us it actually has a 46-litre capacity and it will hold 67 standard drink cans.
The CFX3 range of portable fridge/freezers is the latest from Dometic and uses the brand’s VMSO3 compressor for optimum cooling. Like most fridges of their ilk, the CFX3 models can be powered by 12-volt, 240V or solar power. There are seven models in the CFX3 range from the CFX3 35 up to the massive CFX3 95 dual zone unit. The midsize CFX3 45 we’ve chosen retails for $1549 on the Dometic website.
The first thing we noticed about the CFX3 is that it feels incredibly lightweight compared to other fridges of similar size and we were surprised to read that it tips the scales at 19.4kg, according to Dometic. As you’re no doubt aware, minimising weight in a 4x4 is vitally important.
