Brilliant Camping Fridge

I purchased the Dometic ACX3 40 Combicool for the convenience of being able to a run a coolbox on electric or gas when camping. It is completely silent and keeps our food and drink wonderfully chilled.

Just As Good, If Not Better
by Miss C Walker (02 Oct 2018)

I had a Royal 3 way fridge for many years and thought it was fab, although a real pain to light on gas. Kept everything cold no matter how long you’re away for. Eventually it started tripping fuses on 12v....the final straw came when it stopped working on 240v! IT HAD TO GO!!!!
This Dometic is the exact same size, internally and externally, but is far easier to light on gas. Works just as well, if not better, than the old one. Good temperature controls for gas and 240v. Clear instructions.
I’m pleased I bought this one, rather than the Royal again, but it does lack two features that were great on the old one. One was a spirit level to ensure it works well, the other was a gauge that showed (when connected using gas) the gas level/pressure. To remedy this, I prised the spirit level off the old one and will have to keep a closer eye on the gas cylinder!

Brilliant!!
by Mrs R (01 Jun 2017)

Excellent. Bought it to use in my caravan awning - the fridge I have in the van is very temperamental to light on gas, this one lit instantly. Stress free!!!
Coped very well on my recent festival in baking heat.
One tip though is cool everything down on mains before you set off, keep it plugged in whilst in the car & it'll work great. I naively took it empty, for lifting it out of the car ease, and put everything in when I got there. It struggled to get down to a cold temperature until the temperature dropped at night. Lesson learned.
Cold drinks, food and milk was pure bliss :-)

Top Quality Fridge
by Darren Nixon (12 Sep 2016)
(5/5)
I bought this to replace an ageing 3 way fridge which was past its best. This really is a league apart and does keep everything icy cold. I was concerned that it wouldn't be that good on 12V but has recently kept everything cold on a 7 hour return trip from Devon. I'd thoroughly recommend this fridge.
Cracking Bit Of Kit!
by Mr Warren (02 Jun 2016)
(5/5)
Really pleased with this fridge. Arrived soon after online order, and was soon unpacked and plugged into the mains 24 hrs before the bank holiday camping trip. Swapped to 12V for the 4-5 hr car journey, which kept all the contents nice and cool, and then connected the gas hose, regulator and bottle (which you have to buy separately) once we arrived at the camp site.
Spent 4 days on the camp site and never had any concerns with this fridge. It took a little bit of fiddling to get the gas fired up, but once it was running, it kept going like a dream. Managed to keep all the meat and milk really cold, so tested it out on a few beers and some rose and white wine, and none of that went off either! The crowning glory was producing G&Ts for our neighbours at the campsite, with ice (from the fridge's little ice tray) and a slice of chilled lemon as well.
We bought this as we had concerns about our Cool Box lasting the course. It's a real pfaff trying to get fresh food every 24-48 hours, and we wanted to minimise the trips to the shops once there, so we could enjoy the surrounding area without worrying about the local Sainsbury's opening times (and stock availability over a Bank Holiday weekend).
So far, we are really pleased with this Dometic RC2200 Combicool 3 way fridge, and don't hesitate to recommend it to others. Just remember to follow the instructions when you first get it going before every camping trip!
Damaged On Arrival
by Mr Haygarth (27 May 2016)
(5/5)
The fridge unit arrived promptly. The packaging was good but the unit was damage probably dropped prior to shipping. Contacted support prompt response and collection of damaged unit and delivery on replacement in a 2 days. Exellence service. The chiller has been run on mains supply and chills very well. Producing ice cubes. Will be trying on gas on next use . Over all the fridge unit is sturdy and works well. A good purchase .
EXCELLENT
by MRS GROOM (26 May 2016)
(5/5)
This is a replacement for a previous fridge of this design which lasted just over 20 years I wonder if this will last as long? Very useful being 3 way keeps everything really cold and even has the ice cube tray. Lots of room for bottles etc; We were so pleased with the previous one we had no question in replacing like for like, although I would generally buy British if possible.
Good Product On Initial Performance

Only tested at home but that seemed to indicate product is excellent. Bought to use in motorhome as second cooling unit. At full setting was able to create ice cubes. Highly recommend.

Very pleased - our order came exactly when we specified and the fridge has been working from the minute we plugged it in. Haven't taken it camping yet but can't wait to test it in the field and am sure it will do the job - it's spacious, light and chills down very quickly.
