MOD Just bought a Dometic CF 80 cooler

[TJ&LadyDi]

You have one-upped Neal and his 2027 VentEssex with your "2030 DS 4081 on order."

I'm taking a wild guess that this might be a 2020 DS.

BTW, I concur with your assessment that

one reaches an age where time us more precious than money.

Yep, it comes with all the King Aire options......STANDARD. Don’t ask the price.


I like this extended edit period.
I can fix my screw-ups.
What 2030 are you referring to?

The extended edit function is, indeed, a nice feature as you have said. Looks like Neal's 2027 VentEssex is, once again, safe from being one-upped.

We have used ours in both the beer chilling mode @ 33*F with nothing frozen and in the freezer mode. In the freezer mode I have had it set to lowest temp 5*F since we caught our halibut in Alaska. I did find that the shelf on the right side did not keep things frozen and was devastated when I found the halibut cheeks thawed.

I was wondering what temp to set in Freezer mode, I was thinking 30-32 would suffice. In frig mode I'm using 36-37 (can't remember) which is what I think my home frig uses.

I also wanted to add a note for those adding a slideout tray as I did. You have to put supports under it so it doesn't hit the basement door gasket. I think 3/4" ply is sufficient, can't remember, but you have to elevate it. FYI

When I had the fish flash frozen, they suggested to set freezer to as low as it would go. Might be able to set it higher for other food but didn’t want to risk it. I do like the insulated cover you got, nice upgrade.

For anyone thinking of ordering a 2020 DSDP, there is a typo in the Dutch Star brochure for 2020 -

I tried to leverage this into a free Dometic freezer option but didn’t get too far with my dealer. You might be more successful with yours. [emoji16]

Interesting ?. All bargaining chips appreciated.

On the one we had, any relationship between the temp we dialed in and the actual temperature the unit delivered was purely coincidental. To get to 34 degrees, you had to set it at 27 and then if the weather got cold, you had to watch it or it would freeze.

I’d be interested if others have had similar issues.

Stayed with friends for a weekend in their Grand Tour this summer and they had a similar Dometic unit. Since it was my beer, I was responsible for setting the temp but had the opposite issue. Had some slushy beer the next day and had to raise the temp setting higher than I would have guessed to keep it from freezing.

Larger cooler in 2020 DS, now is CF-110. Now I can store more beer?

Can't wait to consume said beer ?

Who knew joining this forum would cost so much...

I bought the same cooler two years ago when I got sick of buying 20 lbs of ice every two days while on our trip. It really is a nice item to have. I used a MORryde freezer tray that is much lighter than the standard Newmar item, yet it's very sturdy and allows the freezer to come way out of the bin. Pic is from online, not my unit, but you get the idea.

I think they got smart when they added 2 inches to the basement. Hopefully you still have room for a shelf above it.

I can state from experience, the "smaller" one will hold 3 cases.?
