Frequently Asked Questions
How long does this cooler keep ice frozen?
The Dometic Recon Softside Cooler uses quality insulation to maintain cold temperatures for several hours without electricity.

Will this cooler fit in my RV storage compartments?
At 12 liters, this is a compact cooler designed to fit in most RV cabinets, under-bed storage, or vehicle interiors. Measure your storage space to confirm fit, but its softside design allows some flexibility compared to rigid coolers.
