There is no 240V plug and no automatic changeover on a powered site. Your house battery runs the fridge and your charger runs the battery. In a van with a proper power-management system that converts incoming mains to DC, you will never notice. In an older van with a tired battery and a basic charger, you will.

It wants the van level, and its performance drops off as the outside air heats up. A compressor fridge works like your kitchen fridge. Dometic rate their compressor models for stable cooling and freezing even in a tilted position, and this one carries a T climate class for 16 to 43 degrees ambient. You lose the gas option. You gain a fridge that copes with a sloping campsite and a hot day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h4 page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eWhat the RUC6404X draws from your batteries\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eDometic rate it at 88W, drawing 7.3A at 12V or 3.65A at 24V while the compressor runs. It cycles rather than running flat out, so heat and door openings drive the daily figure. The fridge cuts out at 10.4V and stays off until the battery recovers to 11.7V, which protects your battery but also means an undersized bank leaves you with warm food. Because this one can't run direct off mains, the battery matters more than it does on the RUC6508X.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"page-crafter-h4 page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003eFitting the RUC6404X\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container page-crafter-element-bottom-spacing\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gets cut into your cabinetry, wired into the 12V system and fixed down so corrugations don't move it. At 46kg it's a two-person lift. The opening needs 525 x 1434mm clear without the flange and 611mm of depth behind it. Dometic sell a ventilation grille, a roof vent kit and an internal vent kit for this range, and your installer picks the right one for your van. We won't publish wiring or fuse sizes here, because that's a call for your installer against Dometic's manual and your van's existing system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"tg-included-ruc6404\" style=\"margin:32px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-whats-included-block page-crafter-inner-padding page-crafter-border-radius tg-included-box-ruc6404\" style=\"padding:36px;border-radius:8px;\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-whats-included-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"page-crafter-h4 page-crafter-bottom-spacing-small\" style=\"text-align:center;color:#ffffff;\"\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tg-included-col-ruc6404 page-crafter-ul-list-with-checkmark page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003eRefrigerator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003eDrain hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003eBottom trim piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003eSealing strip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003eInstallation and operating manual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"page-crafter-h4 page-crafter-bottom-spacing-small\" style=\"text-align:center;color:#ffffff;\"\u003eWhat's Not Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tg-included-col-ruc6404 page-crafter-ul-list-with-checkmark page-crafter-div-container\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003eInstallation and cabinetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003e12V wiring, fusing and cabling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003e240V mains operation (this model is 12\/24V DC only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003eVentilation grille, roof vent or internal vent kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"color:#ffffff;\"\u003eDecor door panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"page-crafter-div-container\" style=\"margin-top:14px;\"\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:13px;\"\u003eDometic supply the drain hose, bottom trim and sealing strip in the box.
