Dometic RMD10.5XS Refrigerators and Spare Parts

The Dometic RMD10.5XS is a premium double-door 3-way absorption refrigerator from Dometic's advanced 10-Series range. Designed for caravans, motorhomes and RVs, it combines modern styling, large storage capacity and flexible operation on LPG gas, 12V DC and 240V AC power.

Popular as a replacement for older absorption refrigerators such as the RMD8551 and RMD8555, the RMD10.5XS delivers quiet, compressor-free operation while offering upgraded controls, improved internal storage and enhanced cooling performance. It has also been superseded by the Dometic RMD10.5XP, which retains the same cabinet size and cooling system while introducing updated door styling.

Replacement Information

The Dometic RMD10.5XS has been superseded by the Dometic RMD10.5XP.

The RMD10.5XP retains virtually the same:

• Cabinet dimensions
• Installation cut-out
• Storage capacity
• 3-way operation
• Universal Energy Selection technology

while introducing updated styling and a redesigned door configuration.

The RMD10.5XS is also widely recognised as a replacement for older models including:

• Dometic RMD8555
• Dometic RMD8551
• Selected Dometic 8-Series refrigerators

Because these refrigerators represent a significant investment, many owners choose to repair their existing RMD10.5XS rather than replace the entire unit when faults occur.
