Dometic RUA 8408X+A2 216L 12/24/240V Absorption Refrigerator

$4,320.00

Available for pre-order Estimated arrival:

The Dometic RUA 8408X is a 224-litre three-way absorption refrigerator giving you the freedom to cool on LPG gas at a remote campsite, switch to 12V DC while driving, and run silently on 240V AC on-site — all managed automatically by Dometic's Universal Energy Selection (UES) system without manual intervention. Unlike a compressor fridge, the absorption cooling unit has no moving parts, producing virtually zero operational noise.

LPG consumption is approximately 500 g per 24 hours at 32°C ambient. The narrow 550 mm cabinet aligns with Dometic's established RV cabinetry templates, making it a direct drop-in replacement in the majority of Australian caravans. Part number: 9600049486.
