Upgrading your Dometic 3 Way or Electrolux 3 Way with a 12V Fridge

January 30, 2015 By Zeb Elliott

Did you know the most efficient replacement fridge for any of the old 3 Way Electrolux RM212 models (RM212 RM212E RM212F) or the Dometic 3 Way fridges (RM5310 RM4210 RM4211 or RM4213) is the Vitrifrigo C60i 12V fridge?

12v fridge Vitrifrigo C60i replacement for RM212 and RM5310

The 12 volt Vitrifrigo C60i will fit straight into the existing space and will run directly from your 12 volt DC at a fraction of the power consumption. Consuming as little as 18A/h over 24 hours means you can run this fridge for 48 hours on a 75A/h battery without needing to put any charge back into the leisure battery.

If you want to go wild camping then a 60W solar panel will give you more than enough power to run this fridge 24/7..
