New Dometic CFX3 Fridge!

[@absinth64]

Easiest way to mount a Dometic upright is put a strip of ply across the top so you don’t crush the foam at the top corners and ratchet strap it down using brackets on the tray floor and strap over the top of the fridge. Had friends use the screw holes in the sides to mount the fridge and they vibrated loose on corrugated roads up the Cape. I Ratchet strap mine down in the canopy on my 45 series and never had a problem with it moving around or vibrating loose. I cut the hooks off my straps and put them through stainless footman loops riveted to the canopy floor. Currently doing a refit on my canopy and filming it.

Hi Danie great to see you've made a new video. that new freezer looks good and draws have the power. surprised you dont have the bracket to swing the freezer out and down lower so you dont have to stand on your little step on the tire

Mars with his own dog box fridge!!! Cold mush half eaten frisbees WITH ICE. One happy pooch. Excellent video. Great production, you're more comfortable infront of the camera and very conversational. Love seeing the new products. You must be busting like most of us to get back out and away from isolation. Well, you know what in mean. Isolated in places we want to be rather than home. Can you do a video on what you like and what you'd change since the start of setting up ole boy. Example, hows the suspension and body roll since adding all the weight. Have to say, Ole Boy is becoming the envy of many of us!! When is the A/C getting fixed!!! 🙄🤣🤣 keep up the great vids.

[@DanieSimpson]

Thank you. And probably won't he doing that video as there isnt anything I would do differently. All a learning experience. What added weight?? 60kg isnt really noticeable And aircon got fixed 4 months ago

[@aeromech8563]

great video, your poor cup lol and what a mess! great fridges i got a CFX about 5 years ago still going strong it has the Bluetooth temp gauge for the cab which i find handy 😎

Update!!! I got back home to Aus a few weeks ago from over seas and today I have a guy turn up with a pallet ..... yep my wife has got me one of those new CFX jobbies 😳75 litre my god it's huge can't wait to get out bush now we have a fridge and freezer can always take the other one as a beer fridge lol that's 35 too how lucky am I lol keep us updated with the way your fridge performs just had to share the news with you lol

[@Offroad_Airscapes]

Thanks for taking the time to put out this new Vlog, have you ever thought of hard wiring and mounting your compressor to the tray somewhere? Makes it so much easier than messing around with storage bags connecting leads etc 👍🏻

[@DanieSimpson]

Already have a hard mounted one for the airbags😋 this is just a second for the trailer

[@jaseprofatkid7275]

The little white caps in the inside the upright pop out and you screw it through there to fix them in. Double check your screws holding the door in on the bottom, mine came looses and lost the door on my fridge and there was shit melted everywhere in my camper. It was a bad day.

[@DanieSimpson]

Oh no!! But noted!

[@ShedBuilt]

Never knew I needed an upright fridge until now 😍 keep us posted how you will be mounting it. Mars is such a good doggo

[@eshxplorn]

Thank you for the info and entertainment! 9A draw in the 80L vs 4-5 for the 55L is a surprising difference. I have an ancient Waeco CF-40 and previous gen Dometic CFX50 (46L) that both draw 4A. The new model looks great, and I'm envious of your bed electrics control panel.

[@DanieSimpson]

95L :) and that wasnt at temp so at temp its 9A vs 2.5A

[@kellydrolet4740]

Isolation is getting a bit much - boring, boring, boring. At least we now have weather above 0 C and the snow is disappearing so can enjoy some more time outside. I too like the upright fridge and I was surprised at the low amp draw on the chest fridge - great info. Thanks

[@JoshSinnott97]

Are they using a different compressor for this model?

@@JoshSinnott97 CFX had the VMSO2 and the CFX3 range uses updated VMSO3 compressor which retains cool air a bit better resulting in lower power consumption

My waeco cfx40 i got 1 month after i got my 200 series in 2017, hasnt turned off more or less since then, i also have had a 40 litre engel, i found the engel to be more power hungry.. 3.5/4 amps vs 2.5 for the waeco. My mate is an engel freak and bought a waeco.. loves it.. see you can go to the dark side people. My advice set the fridge voltage alarm to 10.5 volts, saves some panic moments. you'll work it out on your own i suppose.

[@DanieSimpson]

Yeah my experience the waecos have just always been better for power consumption and way lighter

[@glenod]

@@DanieSimpson yah. the reliability has come a long way as well.

[@mattwalker6305]

53L fridge should be plenty for most trips away. Be interested in how upright fridge goes long term with offroad with shelving and vegetable box. Plus does everything fall out when open it after been driving offroad? Low voltage setting would want to set higher than 10.5volts with lithium as until load with fridge starting up it was around 13.0volts underload. You should have about 3days of battery life safely without starting engine or solar input. You will be impresses with how quickly battery recharges. What battery set up in camper? Is there a video on the camper? Enjoy your channel

[@DanieSimpson]

@@mattwalker6305 its a 46L. Mate has had his for 5 years and no issues with shelving. As you can see the video all the shelves have lips on them and you wouldnt exactly be opening it if you were on a mad incline. I keep it on medium setting. Which is fine for the setup i run. My 95L drawing 9.8A with the car stationary for week and no solar input still only went down to 56% on the lithium. So will have alot more then 3 days. Yes there are 2 videos on the rear setup and a whole playlist on my channel
