Things to Watch Out for When Buying a Dometic 3-Way Fridge

Posted by mygenerator on January 7th, 2017

Dometic is a trusted Australian brand dedicated towards caravan appliances. It has a wide range of caravan appliances that can make your trip more convenient and fun. Caravan owners understand the importance of their Dometic 3-way fridges because of their efficiency and reliability.

Dometic 3-way fridges are different from conventional compressor fridges. These three way fridges have the ability to be operated through 12V (vehicle/auxiliary battery), 240V (direct mains or generator power supply), and LPG gas (propane). The versatility of 3-way fridges makes them a must-have for long trips. If you are camping at one spot without any access to direct power supply for more than 3-4 days then these fridges offer great versatility in terms of power sources.

When you are driving your caravan, you can run your fridge through the battery, you can use mains power supply when you are at a caravan park and you can use LPG gas as a power source when you are at the camping site. A 4kg LPG gas bottle can run your fridge for more than a week continuously without any problem. A 9kg gas bottle can run your 3-way fridge for 2-3 weeks.  

Considering the benefits of a Dometic 3-way fridge, here are a few important things to choose the one meant for you.

Accessories: Before buying a Dometic 3-way fridge, it will be better if you determine your exact fitting needs. By doing that, you will be sure about the appropriate vents, t-piece kits and connections for installation. It will help you narrow down your search and you need to only look for what you need saving you a lot of time and effort. It allows you to focus on the particular models of 3-way fridges that suit your size exact needs, and the relevant accessories that go with them. Ensuring you get the right accessories for your fridge will provide optimum ventilation for the fridge and therefore better cooling performance.

Design: The design of the 3-way fridge also matters as it has to match your caravan interiors. In this case, a good quality fridge must look good. The design of the fridge also concerns the space it occupies in the caravan. The fridge should not cover too much space as there has to be enough space left for other appliances and installations. For many Dometic models you can either elect to choose left hand side or right hand side hinges. You can also change the front door exterior skin with either laminate or ply to match the interior décor of your van.

Price: It is the most important factor in the purchase of a caravan fridge. You want to get a good price, but you also do not want to waste your money on something that is not quality. To get the best deals on Dometic 3-way fridges you should try buying them online. On the internet, you can find several websites that sell Dometic 3-way fridges. There, you can compare prices between different models and choose one accordingly. You can also take the advantage of industry competition by registering on more than one shopping websites and there are high chances that you will get discounts. So, be sure to opt for a quality brand like Dometic, but also make sure you get a good price by shopping online.
