Dometic CFX5 55IM Electric Cooler with Ice Maker
The Dometic CFX5 55IM is a 55 L powered fridge freezer that gives you reliable cooling without ice, plus a dedicated ice making zone for camp drinks on demand. With efficient Vacuum Insulated Panels, a VMSO 3.5 compressor, and smart app control, it is a great fit for overland rigs, RVs, and trail builds where power usage, durability, and interior volume really matter.
Run it from your vehicle’s 12/24 V system, shore power at camp, or an inverter and solar setup. Pair it with our storage and mounting solutions for a clean, trail ready install that keeps food cold, power draw low, and access easy from the back of your rig.

Why We Like the CFX5 55IM for Overland Builds
For full time overland rigs and weekend trail trucks, the CFX5 55IM hits a very useful middle ground. The 55 L volume fits multi day food loads for a small group, but is still compact enough to live on a slide in the back of a Jeep, truck, or 4Runner without dominating all of the cargo space. The VIP insulation and VMSO 3.5 compressor keep power consumption in check, which is a big deal when you are running from a dual battery or portable power system.
The built in ice maker section is a nice bonus for camp life and does not require you to dedicate a separate cooler just for ice. Combined with the rugged exoframe, reinforced corners, and folding handles, the 55IM is ready to be tied into our slides, mounts, and storage systems for a clean, reliable, and adventure focused install.
