fridge

Hi we are new to campers and the forum - our fridge was working but now isn’t cooling and lit up with every warning light known to human kind. We’ve used it both with mains hook up and leisure battery. The instruction book seems useless. Just wondered if this was maybe something obvious that you...

Built a two way sliding platform to mount the fridge. Since there is only 3 of us, the position of the fridge works well. The slides are 2 way so the fridge is easy to move out the way for access to the cupboard in the kitchen pod. I don’t like having the fridge in the boot area, especially...

Hi all, Camping at present lots of rain & wind still good fun being away My fridge compressor keeps stopping as indicated inside the fridge control unit. I turn it off & restart but a short while later its stopped again. Is this because its reached temperature? I have the secondary 12v charge...

Hi, I wondered if there was a safe way to fit some kind of relay to a fridge (Dometic CRX50) that automatically switches the power from 12v to 230v for the fridge when on hookup. Its easy enough to run both the 12v cable and the 230v cable to the fridge but I need the missing piece please...

My van has a waeco crx0500 12v fridge fitted. It used to run both when on hook up or off the leisure battery when off grid, now however it only works when on mains and when not connected to mains shows a fault of “excessive fan current” which is explained in the manual as the fan load on the...

Hey everyone, myself and wife have just purchased a Campervan, T6 highline, it is quite a unique conversion, we don't have a fitted fridge in the van, we have a cupboard that's even kitted out with the 12v socket, and vents but....I cannot find a fridge that will fit it, and it looks like we...

Can anybody suggest what to do behind my fridge and kitchen. Will the fridge get hot enough to melt carpeted ply? Instead of insulating the cavity and ply lining could I insulate with an adhesive foam and leave the ply off so I could maybe nudge the fridge back a few cm’s?

Looking at one of these Are they any good, worth there money Could you run a camping fridge of one Alternative suggestions welcome Thanks Andy

So Dometic fridges are thin on the ground and I have been offered the equivalent vitrifigo. Salesperson mentioned that they both used to have Italian compressors but Dometic now produce theirs in the east. Has anybody got experience with the vitrifigo. Plus/negatives for each?

I have a Webasto fridge and would like to fit a decor panel to match the furniture which I am constructing with sycamore veneer applied to ply. There are products which use real wood in a laminate such as Oberflex but I suspect that it will be difficult to buy a small amount sufficient for a...

I am currently trying to plan a layout for my self build SWB layout. I am considering fitting a top loading fridge beside the seat in front of the wheelarch as I think that this is the best way to utilise that awkward space. But the literature advises that for efficiency of the unit the...

Hi, we are progressing with our T6 panel van conversion and have reached the seat bed decision. we have two kids, 7years old and three years old. we would like 3 seats in the back to give us options but appreciate we won’t get three full adults back there as we are having kitchen units up the...

Third post today. Not quite sure about wiring in the Dometic fridge with my Sargent EC160. There appears to be a couple of ins for it on the Sargent. I work with properties and so am fairly ok with wiring etc. But, I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to be doing with the fridge. I think the...

Hi, I got my first van conversion yesterday and been trying to get the fridge (Dometic CRE0050) working today. I seem to have a continuous orange flashing light (see photo) which I can’t get rid of and have left it for a few hours using the leisure battery, but still got the orange flashing...

Hi all, quick question ref a 100w solar panel that I’m having installed. I’ve also asked for a dometic fridge to be installed. Would the 100w panel be enough to keep the leisure battery topped up and keep the fridge going? Especially over winter.

I have the standard Dometic CRX50 fridge with two 60W solar panels. i am planning to be off grid parked under trees. How long should my batteries be ok for if running the fridge and just led lighting, with no charging of gadgets? I kept the fridge on parked on the driveway and was surprised...

Hi im puzzling over what I should do with my fridge when im hooked up to 240v .. I have the option of keeping the fridge plugged into my leisure battery OR plugged into the 240 via an adapter (240v Power supply) basically either way the fridge is running on 12v dc. So the fridge is un aware of...

Hi my converter has hung the fridge door on the right which makes it awkward to access. Any idea how I change this to the other side. Note it is already installed making it not as easy as manual suggests. Thanks

I've searched a few threads and noticed a few users have this fridge. I have one in my Van and I've been away all weekend and noticed that even on the 'lowest cooling' setting, that the majority of the stuff in there ended up freezing. Its apparent that the right side of the unit is the freezer...

Hi I’ve just bought a new T32 camper fitted with a 90amp (I think) leisure battery. On 12v fridge only lasts for about 2 hours and doesn’t cool that well plugged in at 240v. Does anyone have experience on this as I’ve been told it’s perfectly normal and 2 hours is all we should get on leisure...
