Dometic CD-30 Drawer Fridge

A Dometic CD-30 30-litre single-zone compressor drawer fridge with a detachable, relocatable cooling unit, built for flush installation into a caravan, motorhome, or 4x4 cabinet.

Why This Product

Fitting a fridge into a fixed cabinet or drawer space usually means the compressor itself has to squeeze in right next to it - the CD-30 gets around that by letting you detach the cooling unit and mount it up to 1.5m away, to the left or right, so the drawer can go exactly where you planned and the noisy, heat-generating part goes somewhere more convenient. Built-in low-voltage protection means it won't silently flatten your vehicle's starter battery on a long stop, which matters on Western Cape touring routes where the next fuel stop or campsite can be hours away.

Key Features

• 30-litre capacity in a compact drawer/slide-out format
• Detachable cooling unit that can be mounted to the left or right, up to 1.5m from the drawer itself
• Continuously variable thermostat for precise temperature control
• Low-voltage protection safeguards your vehicle's starter battery from being drained flat
• Fully hermetic compressor with integrated control electronics for reliable, low-maintenance cooling
• 12V/24V DC input, suited to vehicle and leisure battery systems

Ideal For

• Caravan, motorhome, or 4x4 canopy builds needing a flush-fit drawer fridge
• Builds where the compressor needs to be mounted away from the drawer to save cabinet space
• Off-grid touring where low-voltage battery protection matters
• Upgrading an older absorption fridge to compressor cooling

Optional Fitment / Upgrade Notes

The CD-30 is built for a fixed cabinet or drawer opening - check your cut-out against the unit's external dimensions (77 x 29.5 x 48.5cm) before ordering. The cooling unit detaches and can sit up to 1.5m away to the left or right, but it still needs its own ventilated mounting position, so plan that space too. Confirm whether your system runs 12V or 24V before wiring in.

FAQ

Can the cooling unit be mounted away from the fridge drawer?
Yes - the CD-30's cooling unit detaches and can be mounted to the left or right of the drawer, up to 1.5m away, which helps when cabinet space around the drawer itself is tight.

Will this drain my vehicle's starter battery?
The CD-30 has low-voltage protection built in, which cuts power before your starter battery is drained too far - though for extended off-grid use we'd still recommend running it from a dedicated leisure/auxiliary battery.

Is it 12V or 24V?
Both - the CD-30 accepts 12V or 24V DC input, so it suits most vehicle and caravan electrical systems.
