The Owner's Insights on the Dometic CFX2 37
The 37 is the value pick of the CFX2 range. Thirty-seven litres and 46 cans for under nine hundred, with the same compressor, the same app and the same 5-year warranty as the boxes above it.
It shares its 678mm by 401mm footprint with the CFX2 45 and sits 65mm lower, so it clears under a drawer system where the 45 will not.
It draws 0.78 amp-hours an hour at 12V with 32 degrees outside and 4 inside. About 19 amp-hours a day, the same as the smaller 28.
Honest bit. No vacuum insulated panels here, that is a CFX5 feature. In genuine heat it works a bit harder to hold temperature.
Why You'll Love the Dometic CFX2 37
- 37 litres and 46 cans. A proper weekend for two with drinks, at a price that is hard to argue with.
- 0.78Ah an hour at 12V. Roughly 19 amp-hours a day in 32 degree heat, so your 100Ah battery runs it about five days.
- 65mm lower than the CFX2 45. Same footprint, less height, so it clears under a drawer system where the 45 will not.
- Freezes to minus 22 degrees. Set it anywhere from plus 20 down to minus 22, so it works as a fridge or a proper freezer.
- 3-stage battery protection. It shuts itself down before it flattens your cranking battery, so you can still start the car.
- Same 5-year warranty as the CFX5. You pay less, and Dometic backs it for exactly as long.
Why You Should Consider a Dometic Portable Fridge
Dometic has been building mobile refrigeration for decades, and the CFX range is the part of the line-up made for touring rather than fixed installs. What matters most to you here is the back end. Dometic backs your CFX2 37 with a 5-year Australian warranty, and supports it through a repair network based here. You can see the rest of the range in our Dometic collection.

What Size Power Station Runs the CFX2 37
Your fridge averages 0.78 amp-hours an hour at 12V, which is about 225 watt-hours a day in 32 degree heat. A 1,000Wh power station runs it roughly four and a half days before you need a top-up. Add a solar panel and you stop counting. If you are not sure what size suits your setup, the Power Station Finder asks you a few questions and gives you a straight answer, or browse the portable power station range.
Dometic CFX2 37 vs the CFX2 45
Same 678mm by 401mm footprint. The 45 is 65mm taller, holds eight more litres and fourteen more cans, and costs fifty dollars more. It also draws a touch more at 0.86 amp-hours an hour against 0.78. So buy the 37 if you have a height limit or you want the cheaper running cost, and the 45 if you just want more room.
Fitting the CFX2 37 to a Fridge Slide
There are M6 threaded inserts moulded into the base, so you can bolt it to a fridge slide or your drawer system without drilling the shell. The box is 678mm long, 401mm deep and 428mm high. That height is why a lot of people choose it, so measure your clearance and leave room at the back for the vent and the power socket. If a portable box is not the answer and you want a fridge built into the van, look at the RV fridge range instead.

Not Sure Which Camping Fridge Suits You?
Fitting a fridge under a drawer system? The 37 is the sweet spot of the CFX2 range on price per litre, and the low height suits canopies. The honest limit is insulation. You do not get the vacuum insulated panels the CFX5 range has, so in real heat it works harder and draws a little more. If you tour off-grid for a week at a time, a CFX5 will treat your battery better. Your order ships from Melbourne and your CFX2 carries a 5-year Dometic warranty backed by their Australian repair network. Compare the rest of the camping fridge range, or give us a call and you will get a straight answer, not a script.
