Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does SLT polarity protection do?
A: SLT (Selective Logic Technology) protects your refrigerator from damage if your RV's batteries are connected in reverse polarity. This is especially important in older RVs or when using external power sources where wiring mistakes can happen.
Q: Can this refrigerator run on propane while traveling?
A: Yes. The RF 8500 operates on propane, making it perfect for boondocking and off-grid camping where AC and DC power aren't available. You can switch between all three power sources seamlessly.
Q: Is this a direct replacement for other Dometic models?
A: The RF 8500 fits RVs originally equipped with this model. We recommend verifying your current refrigerator's model number and dimensions before ordering, as installation requirements vary by RV type.
