The Dometic Recon softside cooler helps RV owners, campers, overlanders, van builders, and mobile-service users match the right Dometic cooling product, accessory, or service part without relying on appearance alone. Match this listing by Dometic model cues and part number 97000066530 before ordering. Verified by exact Dometic SKU/part-number match.
This product is for shoppers who know the Dometic series, capacity, color, or replacement component they need. The trade-off is important: CFX, Recon, CoolMatic, accessories, and service parts are not automatically interchangeable, so use the exact part number instead of a near-match.

Why Choose This Soft-Sided Cooler?
Dometic mobile-cooling products can look similar across capacities, colors, and generations, but small differences matter. This page keeps the model family, capacity cues, configuration, and exact part number visible so you can compare the right cooler, cover, basket, gasket, control, or accessory before checkout.
If your existing unit, parts diagram, label, or manual lists a different Dometic number, choose that matching product instead. For powered coolers, also confirm your storage space, power source, and single-zone or dual-zone needs before buying.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know this is the right Dometic cooler product?
Match the model family and part number on this page to your Dometic product, manual, box label, or parts diagram. For this listing, the key number is 97000066530.
Are Dometic CFX, Recon, and CoolMatic parts interchangeable?

Confirm capacity, single-zone versus dual-zone layout, available space, power source, and whether you need a cooler, protective cover, basket, gasket, or replacement service part.
Does this listing include installation hardware or extra accessories?
Only when those items are specifically named in the title or Dometic product information. If hardware or accessories are not listed, assume they are sold separately.
