⁉️ Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Compatible with my old Thetford / Dometic / Vitrifrigo fridge? A: Yes. The DCR105 is designed to directly replace Thetford T2090, Dometic 110 CRX / MDC 90, and Vitrifrigo C95L CHR.
Q: How to know if this fridge is compatible with my vehicle? A: Compatibility mainly depends on size: if the existing space fits the dimensions 81 × 47.5 × 53.5 cm, the DCR105 fits easily. Electrically, installation is minimal — a compressor fridge connects directly to 12V on your circuit, allowing you to replace a trimix (gas/12V/230V) without any additional installation. You even remove the gas supply, gaining simplicity, lower consumption, and increased safety.
Q: What minimum battery is needed to power it? A: A 100 Ah battery is enough if the fridge is used alone. For comfortable autonomy with other equipment, plan for 200 Ah or more, ideally supplemented by a solar panel.
Q: Single (A) or Double (DA) version, which to choose? A: The A version offers a single thermostat for both compartments — simpler, slightly cheaper. The DA version provides two independent zones: useful for precisely setting the freezer temperature or converting it into an additional refrigeration zone.
Q: Can it be used on 230V at home? A: Yes, by plugging in a 230V→12V voltage converter. Convenient for pre-cooling the fridge before departure or using it while parked on mains power.
Q: Is it noisy? A: No. The GMCC compressor is silent by design, and Night mode reduces it to 35 dB — equivalent to a whisper.
Q: Can the freezer be removed to gain refrigerated space? A: Yes, it is removable. You get the full capacity (105L) as refrigeration only. On the DA version, you can also simply switch the compartment to refrigeration mode without removing it.
