Compressor fridges

12V and 24V compressor fridges, from 44L drawers to 153L towers

Compressor fridges run on 12V or 24V direct from your leisure battery, with no external roof or floor vents. Two we install in our own builds, plus the full Dometic NRX range and the larger Waecos, available to order in.

Fitting a VANZ kitchen pod?

Our kitchen pods are built with either a 50L or a 90L fridge aperture, and the built-in fridge has to match the pod:

  • 50L kitchens (D1 Mini, D1 50L, D1XL 50L, D3, D3 XL, D5) take the Waeco WCR50 (44L).
  • 90L kitchens (D1 90L, D1XL 90L, D6) take the Thetford T1090E (84L).

The larger NRX / Waeco towers below are freestanding — for custom layouts rather than the standard pod aperture.

Dometic NRX vs Waeco WCR

The two ranges look similar at a glance. The real difference is Winter Mode and price.

Storing the van through UK winters? The NRX is the safer call. No need for Winter Mode? The WCR saves about £280 at the 44L size.
