Dometic CRX 110L Upright Fridge in the Toyota 79 Series Landcruiser

[@EricM705]

Thank you for your review on the upright fridge. My wife is also height challenged and have gone to the upright fridge.

[@garylee4171]

Good clip Dave, many of us have the same problem trying to get into our Engle's, Think you have nailed it,Happy travels.

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

Cheers mate.👍

[@workmantra2504]

Thanks for reverting back, will update if I find a solution have spoken to a fabricator. Cheers

[@rockfossil9006]

I think that latch above the door is more like locks the door when you off roading or on a rough tracks

[@danicaleigh3599]

Will be back to hear how it goes up north, trying to convince my partner the upright is the way to go ☺️ thanks for the great review

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

Very happy with it, we head off in a couple of weeks so will do another review on how it's going later in the year .

I think there becoming more popular

[@vegasraiders786]

Thank for this review, very helpful

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

No worries 👍

[@Branjiebelle]

Can you please let me know how you have gone with this fridge in hot weather. We are in Australia as well and want to know if it works when it's bloody hot.

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

It's doing the job, just got to manage what you have in it. Just under the freezer is the coldest so that's where the beer goes.

[@Branjiebelle]

@@rollinrosssadventure1443 Thanks Ross! 👍

[@IdaTobias]

Thank you for your review, really helpful! Does the fridge make a lot of noise?

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

Don't notice the noise as it's inside the canopy.

[@JoshSinnott97]

How's the fridge going mate, are you still happy with it?

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

It was OK but you have to manage and pack it properly. Beer on top shelf towards the back to get colder. Doesn't get as cold as say an Engel. I haven't got this rig anymore have updated and running the Bushmans upright now so we'll see how that one goes.

[@JoshSinnott97]

I appreciate the reply and your honesty. The appeal of this unit is it can be ran off of 240v too where as the bushman is only powered by 12v. Hopefully you have better luck with the bushman, I've heard good things about them. Looks like my 40L engel will stay in the car after your experiences with the upright

[@workmantra2504]

Great video 👌, I was playing to install one in my ute canopy which does does not have side access. If you don't mind can you pls advice if it's safe to install it on a slid so that I can have it pushed all the way back. Thanks

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

G'day mate thanks for the compliment. Not sure about mounting it on a slide as bolting it down from the bottom of the fridge might be a bit tricky.

[@robertwilson1827]

Have you thought about adding DIY shelves to the door?

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

Didn't want to much weight on the door.

[@jonathanbrazeau970]

hi sir, we appreciate the review. So does this keep the food cold consistently? there are some video's out there saying these don't keep the food cold enough... and how do you find the power consumption?

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

It is a lot colder towards the back of fridge I've even had a couple of beers start icing up, but it does take a bit longer to cool down when first turned on.

[@jonathanbrazeau970]

@@rollinrosssadventure1443 ok great, and what about power consumption, can't remember if you touched on this but what sort of setup are you running to support this ?

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

I run a 105amp deep cycle battery and a 200w solar panel on the roof and that keeps up no worries. It does draw a bit more power than an Engel fridge but it is 110lt.

[@SpanWow]

Good vid mate , was wondering how u went with things falling out after being on a track or corrugation. Cheers

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

No worries just got to pack right and use the trays.

[@bolge7777]

I've got the same fridge in my van mate and yep they don't like the heat a lot . They're all good on 240v but struggle on 12v especially if the sun is directed at them, in the tropix that is, goodluck your fridge is new and mine not so....!!!

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

Yeah you've got to manage the contents to keep the beers cold by rotating them via the back of the fridge .

[@PUUMBA4x4]

hey can u remove the freezer like the 80l?

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

No mate .

[@dannyoconner9680]

Does the fridge have a high ambient temp cut out mode

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

G'day Danny, not that I'm aware of.

[@martialllaw]

How is the fridge secured in place?

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

There are scew holes in the side of fridge so you can attach to the side panelling.

[@valedepa4328]

Hello, Qis it really silent?

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

Yeah not to bad, I wouldn't say it's noisy.

[@richardkaye2228]

Hey mate did you put any ventilation in the camper to let the heat escape that the fridge generates or does it just seem to dissipate cheers 🍻

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

The canopy is insulated, just put large holes in the aluminum sheet at back of fridge and mesh across the top as shown in vid to allow air flow.

[@adko83]

Could you do another review now that you have been using it for 12 months?

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

The fridge is working great, but you do need to have a good battery system as it does draw a lot more power than say an Engel.

[@adko83]

Cheers

[@cyclemoto8744]

Can you confirm the average amperage consumption or watts per day? You mentioned 3 amps however that only provides an indication of the consumption when cycling. Appreciate your time and thanks for the content. Cheers

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

That was an observation at time of review using battery monitor. Power consumption could be different in hotter climate's.

[@cyclemoto8744]

@@rollinrosssadventure1443 I realise that however it is still possible to provide an average consumption whilst stating the average ambient temperature. Having read some of the feedback on your review I did notice that I am not the only one interested in the data. I've been contemplating an upright to replace my National Luna (NL) which will be moved into the camper however the power consumption is critical to my purchase decision on a fridge. My NL fridge has been in constant use in the back of my cruiser for 10 years and has proven itself to not only be reliable (as per your Engel) but also superior in terms of insulation when compared to the majority of brands. Cheers

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

Might be a bit difficult as I updated my old rig a few months ago and I'm running a different set up so I will be keen to see how it compares.

[@sg7392]

My wife has trouble seeing in my fridge and suggested on of these. I suggested a taller wife. Did not go down well.

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

Gee's mate, your living on the edge with those sorts of comments to the misso.😜

[@heathwalker7981]

Good reviews but they could have put more storage in the door area

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

Yep could of used that space better.

[@aaronroby4905]

It looks like its small inside compare to the lye down ones . Need a video of the fridge being full.

[@rollinrosssadventure1443]

110lts is a fair bit, this includes the freezer. You would be surprised as how much you could fit in it.
