What is the Dometic CFX5 75DZ?
The Dometic CFX5 75 Dual Zone is one of the largest and most versatile compressor coolers in the CFX5 range. Designed for extended van life, large family camping trips and long overland journeys, it delivers powerful cooling performance with independent dual compartments.
With a 75-litre total capacity split into two zones (45L / 30L), the CFX5 75DZ allows you to refrigerate and freeze simultaneously. Each compartment has independent temperature control, giving you true fridge-freezer flexibility in one unit.
Advanced Vacuum Insulated Panels maximise energy efficiency, while smart app connectivity provides remote control and monitoring. A reinforced steel frame enhances durability for demanding travel environments.
Best for
- Vanlife and overlanding setups
- Large family camping trips
- Extended off-grid travel
- Week-long or multi-week expeditions
- Fridge + freezer operation in one unit
- Solar-powered travel systems
Materials & Construction
Vacuum Insulated Panels (VIP)
The CFX5 75DZ uses advanced Vacuum Insulated Panel technology, significantly reducing heat transfer compared to conventional foam insulation.
By removing air from the insulation core, VIP creates a high-efficiency thermal barrier that maintains internal temperatures with reduced compressor workload. This translates to lower energy consumption — especially important during long off-grid trips.
High-Efficiency Compressor & Extended Evaporator
A powerful compressor delivers consistent cooling down to -22°C. The extended evaporator lining the interior walls ensures even cold distribution across both zones, preventing temperature imbalance.
The optimised exterior-to-interior ratio maximises usable capacity while maintaining cooling efficiency and structural stability.
Reinforced Steel Frame & Sealing System
A protective steel frame enhances durability for rugged travel conditions, protecting internal components during transport in vans, boats or 4x4 vehicles.
Self-folding aluminium alloy handles provide strong lifting points while maintaining a streamlined profile. TPE lid gaskets create a tight seal to prevent cold air escape, and the removable textured non-slip lid adds practical surface functionality.
Features
Dual Independent Cooling Zones (45L / 30L)
The 75DZ features two separate compartments with independent temperature control. You can run one side as a fridge and the other as a freezer, or operate both at the same temperature.
This flexibility makes it ideal for storing frozen food alongside chilled drinks without compromise.
Wide Temperature Range (-22°C to +20°C)
Each zone can be set between -22°C and +20°C, allowing use as a deep freezer, refrigerator or combination system.
Precise digital control ensures stable performance across a wide range of ambient conditions.
Smart App Connectivity
Using the Dometic Mobile Cooling smartphone app, you can adjust temperatures, monitor energy consumption and view temperature history remotely.
The app also sends alerts if the lid is left open and supports connection to multiple devices simultaneously — ideal for shared travel setups.
Multi-Power Compatibility
Power Sources
- AC power (110–240V)
- DC vehicle power (12/24V)
- Dometic portable batteries
- Solar panel systems
This flexibility allows seamless transition between home, campsite and fully off-grid environments.
3-Stage Dynamic Battery Protection
An integrated 3-stage battery protection system actively monitors input voltage to prevent excessive vehicle battery drain.
It protects starter batteries while allowing deeper discharge when connected to auxiliary or dual-battery systems.
