What it is
The NRX 50R is the "panel-ready" version of the NRX 50 — mechanically the same 44-litre 12/24V compressor fridge as the 50C, but supplied without Dometic’s finished decorative front so you can fit your own furniture panel.
For a VANZ build that is exactly the point: you face the door to match the kitchen for a seamless, fully-integrated finish.

The 50R is a trade "panel-ready" SKU and is not on Dometic’s public catalogue, so some figures are shared from the identical-cabinet 50C — confirm the exact spec on the unit. The key difference is simply the door front: no factory decor panel, so you fit your own.

Why we sell it
For a furniture builder this is the smart pick: the same proven NRX 50 fridge, but ready to be faced in your own kitchen finish for a built-in look — and usually a little cheaper than the finished 50C.
- Seamless integration. No factory front means your fridge door matches the kitchen exactly.
- Same proven fridge. Mechanically identical to the 50C — 44 litres, removable freezer, three modes, Winter Mode.
- Builder-friendly. The version made to be cabinetry-faced, which is exactly how VANZ fits it.
How it compares
vs the NRX 50C
Identical fridge — the only difference is the door front. The 50C comes with a finished dark-silver panel; the 50R is panel-ready for your own facing.
vs the Waeco WCR50
The WCR50 is the value option with a finished black door; the 50R is the current NRX generation, ready to face in your own panel.

Fitting it
- Door facing. Fit your own decorative/furniture panel to the door to match the kitchen — the whole point of the 50R.
- Ventilation. Allow around 50mm airflow clearance (confirm in the installation manual) — inlet low, outlet high.
- Power. 12/24V to the leisure circuit on fused, correctly gauged cable.
- Door swing. Reversible hinge — decide the side before fitting and before you make the facing panel.
