Dometic's CRX 50 fridge/freezerNew from Dometic is the CRX 50, a rugged new built-in refrigerator for trucks. It has a 50-liter overall capacity and a well-insulated freezer compartment that’s easily removed to maximize fridge space. All internal controls are electronic, with no mechanical parts that wear out over time.

It’s claimed to have the best cooling capacity and lowest power consumption in its class. The advanced electronic control module allows for multiple compressor speeds, making the energy-efficient.

The CRX 50 is a direct-fit replacement for all major brands. It’s 17.84 in. wide, 22.13 high, and 19.69 deep, weighing 51 lb.

With the removable freezer, it can be transformed into a refrigerator-only unit or, if needed, a freezer-only unit with temperatures of 17-21F. Its LED controls are easy to read and operate, says Dometic, with smart error indicator features. Its quiet operation is thanks to a variable-speed compressor that reduces rotation when set temperature is achieved.
