Today we review the Dometic CoolMatic CRX 50 compressor fridge. This is the most popular 12-volt (and 24-volt) fridge for small campervans and motorhomes in the UK and Europe. This is the newer more efficient replacement for the Waeco CR50.
With a total capacity of 45 litres, you can use all 45 litres as a fridge, or as a freezer. Using the cool box supplied you can also use the CRX50 as a 41-litre fridge with a 4-litre freezer compartment.
When installing the CRX50 the dimensions are 38cm wide, 53.5cm tall, and 50cm deep. The fridge will need 5 amps of power at 12 volts, but we recommend running a thicker cable to the fridge with a 10 amp fuse. We use 17amp dual-core cable wired to the leisure battery.
At an ambient vehicle temperature of 25c, the CRX50 will use around 270Wh of energy in a 24-hour period, this is roughly 20Ah from a 12v battery. Do note that at 32c ambient that power requirement almost doubles to nearly 600Wh per day.
For the size, we think that the CRX50 makes a perfect fridge for a small campervan conversion. Compared to other options such as electric coolboxes it uses significantly less electricity and maintains a lower temperature for longer.
The CRX50 can be installed as it is, or there are flush-mount and standard-mount fitting brackets available.
