Dometic CFX5 95DZ Dual-Zone Electric Cooler
The CFX5 95DZ is the largest refrigerator/freezer in the CFX5 lineup and the right call when your build needs real food capacity instead of a small drink box. The dual-zone layout lets you run frozen food on one side and refrigerated food on the other, which matters on longer trips where resupply is not always easy.
For an overland rig, the important details are not just volume. The 95DZ runs from vehicle DC power or camp AC power, uses Vacuum Insulated Panels to reduce heat transfer, and includes Bluetooth/app control so you can check temperature and power behavior without digging into the cargo area.

Why It Works for Overlanding
The CFX5 line is built around ice-free cooling, efficient insulation, vehicle-friendly power options, and hardware that makes sense in a moving cargo area. That combination is why these coolers fit naturally into overland builds where food storage, power draw, and access all have to be planned together.
Whether you call it a powered cooler, portable fridge/freezer, 12V fridge, or electric cooler, the job is the same: keep food cold without ice while fitting the vehicle, power system, and cargo layout around it.
For AAL customers, the decision usually comes down to size and zone layout. Choose the capacity that fits your trip length, passenger count, and cargo system, then leave enough room for the gear that still needs to ride beside it.
Dometic CFX5 FAQ
Is a Dometic CFX5 a cooler or a 12V fridge/freezer?
The CFX5 is an electric cooler. In vehicle-based travel, shoppers also call this type of compressor-cooled box a powered cooler, portable fridge/freezer, 12V fridge, or 12V refrigerator/freezer because it cools from power instead of ice.
Can the CFX5 95DZ run as a fridge and freezer at the same time?
Yes. The 95DZ uses two cooling zones, so you can set one compartment for refrigerated food and the other for frozen food.
Is the 95DZ too large for a compact cargo area?
It is the biggest CFX5 model, so measure your cargo system carefully. Its roughly 37.9 in depth makes it better suited to larger rear cargo layouts, vans, trailers, and truck builds.
What comes in the box?
It ships with the cooler, manual, warranty card, 12/24 V connection cable, 100-240 V connection cable, removable wire baskets, and bottle opener.
