The Dometic RGE400 and later RGE410 are large-capacity absorption refrigerators designed for off-grid refrigeration where reliability and flexibility are essential. Popular in houseboats, off-grid homes, remote cabins, rural properties and recreational vehicles, these refrigerators provide dependable cooling without relying solely on mains power.
The RGE400 became well known for its ability to operate on both LPG gas and 240V AC power, making it an ideal solution for locations where grid power was unavailable or unreliable. The model was later succeeded by the Dometic RGE410, which continued the same large-capacity absorption refrigeration platform with updated components and refinements.
With approximately 220 litres of total storage capacity, including a separate freezer compartment, the RGE series offers generous food storage for extended stays away from town power. Features include adjustable shelving, door storage compartments, vegetable crispers, thermostat-controlled operation and simple fuel selection controls.
