Dometic RUC 8408X 224L 12/24/240V Compressor Refrigerator

$4,320.00

The Dometic RUC 8408X is a full-height, narrow-cabinet compressor fridge-freezer purpose-built for caravan and motorhome installations, delivering 170 litres of refrigerator space and a dedicated 46-litre freezer compartment in a 550 mm-wide footprint slim enough to pass through a standard caravan entrance door. Operating on 12V DC, 24V DC, or 240V AC with automatic source switching, it draws just 3.0 Ah per hour at 12V — genuinely viable for off-grid solar setups.

The T-rated cooling system maintains performance across the full range of Australian ambient temperatures. A TFT colour touchscreen with rotary control lets you set independent fridge and freezer temperatures and choose between Performance, Silent, and Power-Save modes. R134a refrigerant and a hermetically sealed compressor mean zero servicing of the cooling circuit for the life of the 3-year warranty.
