Bring Out Your Inner Gourmet with a Dometic Fridge

When it comes to overlanding fridges, there are tons options from a multitude of brands. Few, however, are as well known and highly regarded as Dometic. Its latest model, the CFX3 35, is a standout. So, we decided to take it on an adventure to see if it is as great trail as it is on paper.
