DOMETIC CRX50.. the best off grid 12v compressor fridge/freezer for full time VANLIFE?? Full review 

Thank you, half way through my conversion, have this fridge in the box, in my shed, every time I see the box, I worry it’s too small, your video has convinced me it’s ideal, thanks for all the help in your content so far. Love how you are letting Emily be in the videos now 😃

down to earth knowledge and normal ....many thanks and safe travels x

Thank you for the video. I have this fridge ready to go in any day now.

thank you for the detailed power consumption info! really appreciated

Thanks for this, just got my cx-50. This was very helpful.

Brilliant video love the end bit Cheers 🙂

Very good point about the sunlight exposure on the fridge, didnt think about that cheers!

Love that you have a spot just for chocolate!!! My kind of person!!

😂😂😂 Found you guys from your post in Women with Campervans this morning. Have chuckled my way through your vids, managing to easily waste a whole morning still crashed in bed. (Not a lot else to do in lockdown.....) really make me laugh. I love your build and videos.keep up the good work ladies xxx

Hi Louise & Emily. That's a superb fridge and you've sited it well to suit your needs. Sadly, no room for that in our old VW Transporter. I've been binge-watching your build over the last few days and finally caught up to date! You have a lovely van and I'm sure you'll have some great times in it when you are allowed to travel again. It's a shame you have shelved your plans to do Europe this year, but there are lots of places in the UK to visit that you might not have been to with your previous van. When you do eventually make it across the channel, there's a warm welcome for you here at our home in northern France. We are about an hour's drive from Calais in a lovely rural area near Montreuil-Sur-Mer. Looking forward to your following videos... Deb & Alex Sutton. xx

Interesting video. Our fridge has just stopped working on gas, so this might be an option. keep safe👍

The real reasons are always the best 😂 You put me in the mood for a beer lol, I haven't had one for a month do to watching my carb intake 🙄

Brilliant video 👍

Nice job, I'm getting a Dometic chest fridge freezer so nice to know the energy consumption is low on the Domestics 👍 Poor Emily been sent to the drawer 🤣

great video, Emily you are also a star in my book.

Great video! Been looking at getting one of these.

Very informative. Thank you.

😆 love the explanation at the end. Still love you Emily 😻

Entertaining yet informative and edumuhcational as always. "What's in the freezer?" Vodka. Just a suggestion. Lmao. Love you guys. 🤣😷😘😷

Great video lmao at the end 👍🏻🤣🤣

Hi. If you move the top shelf up one then B&M do a shelf that would attach under the top shelf to provide a bit more space. Built purely for Freddies.

nice well done love your channel u got me hooked

👍👍Well thought out , brilliant👍👍🌹🙏

Hi , have the same fridge definitely Best Buy ,I put a small computer fan at the back of unit that it's in and it's made a big difference to the running of it you'll probably not need one where you have it fitted,by the way nice van.

Hi girls good vid very good demo ..and informative

Another Good one Ladies

I definitely agree about the fridge volume in litres 🙃 it makes no real world sense!...it should say 8 Peroni’s , full pack of dairylea dunkers and a cabbage!lol I’ve got the CRX50 in my T5, it’s served me well , had it about 2years, no issues at all. I removed my freezer bit and usually run it on the 4th light down while I’m driving or to begin with then after a few hours drop it to the 2nd light once parked up. Can’t recommender enough...although it is ridiculously fking expensive for what it actually does!!! I’m planning in the new build to have the 80l version as for much over a 5 days ish I think I’d struggle . Yours looks soo good against the ‘mystery blue paint’ 😉

Good job girls

Awesomeness 🥰🥰🇪🇦

Just come across your site and i find it so lovely. You are both so pleasant to the eye, witty, charming and inspirational. Yourself and other van lifers have inspired me to buy a newish Citroen Relay self converted van. Im in a situation, i have left my job and my girlfriend is still working My question is, once this lockdown is over on December 4th do i go travelling and upset my girlfriend or do i or do i just look at my new van and only use it on weekends? Any suggestions?

It would be interesting to have an update on power consumption now you're in spain :D

God choice!

I am sooooo trying to think of other videos you can do.... Running to get a Pretz All Day Breakfast for the hungover doesn't count, I know. Lmao. But it's been 29 years and I'm gagging for it!!!!

Can you get the freezer separator/compartment out, if the door only opens 90 degrees as you have it installed please? I was concerned when Emily suggested that tiny (5 egg size) compartment for chocolate - WAAAAY too small, I have half a (domestic size) fridge shelf for mine! Another great informative and entertaining video thank you.

I have the same fridge sitting on my dining room table ready to be fitted tomorrow. I am also going to replace the cable for 6mm2 but the factory fitted female spade connectors seem to be a complete git to get off. Did you have any problems removing yours? Are they locking connectors? I have been enjoying your build process, you have done an amazing job 👍

hot days there'd be more solar so all works out. except maybe you'd want to find shade on the really hot days.

Hi just seen that your in France so exciting. So do you have the fridge on all the time it just controls its self and only uses if kicking in. I dont know whether to get a 3 way or this. Just not sure how to fit the 3 way. Are you still pleased with the fridge

Just found your channel. Love it so much. Have you looked into fridge ventilation? I've read they need to have a good airflow in order to work (especially in warm temp.) Kinda not keen on cutting holes in the side of our van for grids. What do you think?

Hi great video on the fridge. I have the dometic crx50 as well, I am interested to know how you are finding it now it is installed does it suit your needs. I have found recently that my freezer rarely freezes and the fridge does not get that cold any longer even on lowest setting . Anyone have any ideas if there is a problem or is it just because of the ambient temperatures

I just want to get this one right. The fridge you brought will be full of Emily's alcohol, mixers and snacks?? So that means you need to get another fridge for food to survive?? Way to go Emily!

Is it just electric or is it a three-way fridge? Love the video girls keep up the good work

The end great....LOL

Another fun vlog with great production girls. Is the fridge open to the garage or did you house it in its own box?

Hi. Just a tip You don't need to keep eggs in a fridge you could use the space for something else

Just bought one of these fridges. Do you know if it requires to be drained periodically? How have you found yours in that respect? Cheers 😊

Hi girls. As always great video. Louise, can’t find the fridge wiring loom on Rayneautomotive site. Did you have to ask for it? Fridge is my next purchase. Cheers girls 👍

Holy shit the price! That's worth more than my van lol.

Love the videos! But gotta ask! Louise you have so many skills and can turn your hand to anything? What is your occupation? Are you a carpenter? Did your father teach you all these skills etc?

I see Em has had to label her own food in the fridge now.... I saw some marked up as "Pots of Joy".... 😏

How is it going on your house. In Ireland

You can get more canned beer than bottled beer in a fridge because the tin is thinner than glass.

the volume of the fridge described in litres

Thus is day, unboxing, by day 2 the silly egg space will be no more as the blue lid breaks more easily than the eggs. I keep eggs in their cardboard box in the veg compartment, about 5C

"real reason..." 🤣🤣🤣

Isnt noisy during nights? Thanks

£650 quid though!

I cannot believe you're drinking American beer...I thought all Brits drank was Guinness?! ;)

If you are able to add a Patron account. I'll be there for sure. Or even if you just add a PayPal account where you can receive "one time donations" could be a goer. Love you girls. You make me laugh til I nearly pee my pants,!!! I'll support you in any way I can. Love you guys. Shez & GG (Melbourne, Australia)

:)

I can not believe you would by cools lite that is just water.

Can you let me out of the fridge now please

No no sorry it just to small
