Frequently Asked Questions
How long will this cooler keep items cold?
The Dometic Recon Softside ZL uses advanced insulation technology to maintain cold temperatures for several hours, depending on ambient temperature, initial ice/coolant temperature, and how often the cooler is opened. For extended trips, we recommend pre-chilling the cooler and using ice packs or block ice.
Is this cooler easy to clean and maintain?
Yes. The softside construction features a removable, washable liner that makes cleaning simple. The exterior can be wiped down with a damp cloth. Always ensure the cooler is completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew growth.
Will this cooler fit in standard RV storage compartments?
The 17-liter medium size is designed to fit in most RV storage areas, under dinette seats, and in galley cabinets. We recommend measuring your storage space beforehand to ensure proper fit, as RV layouts vary by model and manufacturer.
