We are taking a look at the Dometic CFX3 55IM Fridge with Ice Maker that I am putting in my 2020 Jeep Wrangler Ecodiesel for Off-Road Adventures.
Food is a major component of long trips. Keep food cold and fresh is important, as well as having enough capacity for the duration of the trip. Today we are taking a look at the Dometic CFX3-55IM 12v Portable Fridge with Ice Maker and PLB40 Portable 40 Ahh Lithium Battery. This year I am trying to go on bigger, longer, and more epic adventures and food is a major consideration when planning.

Domestic 45l and Jackery 1000. This unit will run the fridge at 38 degrees for 125+ hours unaided. Backup have a 100w solar panel that would feed the Jackery and my Jeep battery. This works great for me. Went with the 45l because I felt it was the best overall compromise of space and power consumption. No regrets so far.

Love the Sunday upload!

@rubicon_north675 3 года назад

I’ve been using the same one for about a year now, I get about 4-5 days off the Jackery 1000, less if you’re making ice. Great fridge.

@buttcheezemo 3 года назад

I have a 55qt frig that we used for 7 days in Moab last April. I used a small Amazon Rockman 200 that I got in a bundle with all the cords and even came with solar panels for not much money. It runs my 55qt frig at 32 degrees for 16 hours. That is plenty for us as we plug the frig into the jeep while wheeling and charge the Rockman while wheeling as well. I am happy with the cheaper system as it is working fine for us.

@mikeswildoutdoors7279 2 года назад

Great vid Thanks!, I have a CFX3 95DZ works great and has all the space I need.

@josephsoper9036 2 года назад

using the cfx55im for the last few months camping. It is definately a great unit especially when we're out in the desert on a multiple night camp. the old standard coolers werent cutting it. picked up the dometic at a great price as someone on amazon screwed up and it was listed for about 3 hours at 40% of the normal price. Tried using it with my bluetti ac50s and it worked ok to begin with running off solar all day then the battery only at night, biggest issue was that it did not get all the way through the night. It would completely drain the bluetti after about 9 hours. Managed to figure out out that that the ice maker draws a ton of juice, turned it off and difference was huge. Now there is still over 50% lef tin bluettin in the morning. we can pretty much run indefinate as long there is a bit of sun....

Got my CFX3 55 IM last April... went on a 4day camping trip and it’s nice that we don’t need to worry about ice and the app is nice . Those extra battery would be perfect match for it🤣😁

Oooo I need one of those batteries for my Dometic 45!

@RVingTheCountry 3 года назад

Has he given it away yet? I have the CFX3 75. It’s a huge beast but selling to build a drawer system in back. I’m debating between the 55 or 45. The 45 seems perfect for a drawer system. Your suggestions?

@brentturner8085 3 года назад

Battery is nice!

@markruppert9017 3 года назад

I have the exact setup! Had the fridge for about a year and it’s awesome! Ice in the backcountry is great. I just received my plb40 so haven’t tried it out yet. I’m headed out for a 4 day trip in a couple of weeks. Hoping the plb40 will keep going and keep the fridge powered. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to how well your fridge and battery perform.

@Casey250 3 года назад

Thanks for the feedback.

@PanzerMace 3 года назад

I ordered the CF3 55IM from a company on Amazon but they sent the wrong product (an outdoor mat?). It took 10 weeks before they finally refunded the cost. So I went to a local shop (4 Wheel Parts) and got an ARB Zero 40Qt, in 5 days!! It works great with my Jackery 500, drains 60% in 24 hours at 4 degrees temperature. But I do plug in the Jackery into my Gladiator while driving so keeping it charged in no problem. Loving it!

@mansharansingh5224 3 года назад

I have a dometic cfx 100 and a cfx 55 and ccf 45. We use the 100 and 55 for overlanding. My wife and I use the ccf 45 and cfx 55 in our semi truck. I need to look into that plb 40 for overlanding power supply for the cooler/freezer.

I need that battery. Currently running off an extra marine battery in back but that thing is sweet and compact! He’s subscriber. Hopefully you haven’t given it away yet. I own the cfx3 75. But selling it to get the 45 or 55 to build a drawer system in back. Can’t decide which way to go.

@ldv5831 3 года назад

Got the same dometic battery for a year now, it’s been great, will keep the fridge going for almost 2 days. Buy a fridge cover, it really helps with power consumption. Buy solar panels, I have a solar blanket and most work with battery I have read. Battery charges really quick and at 8kg compared to by 30kg deep cycle ….well deep cycle has been sold

@finfish260 3 года назад

I have the 75DZW and slider mounted on a Goose Gear platform and it takes up the entire passenger side of the cargo bay. I run it with a Gold Zero 1000 connected to a 75 watt solar panel mounted up top. I can still sleep on the 40 percent side but the fridge wakes me up every time it turns on! No I'm not getting a roof top tent.

@Casey250 3 года назад

Thats a nice sounding setup. Lots of capacity in the 75

@229Reaper Год назад

At wich temperature you need to set the fridge for making the little ice cubes?

@raymondclark1785 2 года назад

You don't really need a fridge to cool water. A terracotta jug using evaporative cooling will free up fridge space while camped.

Ill stick with a fridge but cool tip!!

@alvarotorinos2505 3 года назад

Hi! First of all, I love your videos, always great content! I was looking to purchase this fridge but I am concern about the riveted seam inside. It looks like humidity or water could leak inside the walls, what are your thoughts/opinion about that? Thank you very much.

@Casey250 3 года назад

I can't speak for theh long term of the CFX55 but i've had my CFX28 for 3 years and no issues. Mind you I never have really spilled anything in it, and usually food is stowed in packaging or containers.

@carsonpayne266 2 года назад

What do you do for a living?

@jefferykesler3933 3 года назад

I run my Plb40 with a cfx3 45 the same exact way and it has been fantastic. Plb charges while vehicle is on and when stopped, fridge is powered by Plb40. I also run a 130 w solar panel that has a plb40 specific connection from overland solar. Comes in handy when stopped for long periods of time.

@Casey250 3 года назад

Ya i am really thinking about putting solar on my RTT

@at6686 2 года назад

I have the same set up, but haven’t used it for a longer trip. I’m planning on running the truck battery to the plb40 and the fridge from the plb40 while driving the truck and the use the same solar blanket to charge the plb40 when camping. Is that how you do it?

@jefferykesler3933 2 года назад

@@at6686 yep. Only difference is, I have the Plb plugged into the inverter or the 12v at rear of jeep.

@at6686 2 года назад

@@jefferykesler3933 Ok. That makes sense. I ran the dometic DC hardware kit to the back of my truck directly from the truck battery to make it as efficient as possible. I probably need an on off switch.

@wrangler70jkujeep74 3 года назад

I'm old school cooler but like yourself catching up on camping part . Here in Southeast of US ice dose become problem in heat 🥵🥵. My upgrade plan solar panel on hood with straight plug in to battery makes charging easier . May want see make tray that's level rear seat I know jeep tight for space unless add system to trailer hitch ?

Man overlanding takes up so much room…can you attach a cargo box to your tent and free up space in Jeep? I’ve seen others attach a rack for surf boards and bikes

@Casey250 3 года назад

I could for sure. I think the tent has a 150lb cargo capacity. I was thinking of putting Pelicans up there.

I have. I need to determine if I neeed it though and where I best like the fridge sittting.
