G'day Katie,
Yes you'll need an adapter to use the CF-18 on mains 240V power. You can find the adapter you need under the 'you might also like' section below the Q&As, or you can find the direct link here
Hi, I would like to know if the Waeco cf18 has screw on feet as I want to bolt it on to a fridge slide. Thanks.
G'day Steve,
The Dometic Waeco CF18 doesn't have feet per se but they do have small rubber rings, attached with allen screws, to give it abit of surface grip. Hope that helps.
Hi, I’m wanting to purchase the cf 18 but can’t decide between the 44 ah domestic agm or a 26 ah lithium that can only be charged with a 60w solar panel. Any advice which is better for running this fridge? Cheers
G'day Emma,
There's a few factors to consider here, which will include your charging method. We tend to find most people want the option to charge their battery at home before they leave on a trip, so an AGM battery might be the better option here. I'm not 100% sure which lithium battery you're referring to, but the 44AH AGM battery will give you plenty of power for the CF-18, and should do the trick.

Hi, I've just gone through every calculator I can find and the 78 kWh/24hr figure just doesn't seem right. Could you please confirm that figure or even ask Dometic for an Ah rating.
G'day Mike,
We've previously contacted Dometic about this as the figure is obviously different
After much head scratching and reading a lot of other fridge spec sheets, I’ve found that the consumption figure should read 78 kWh/year not per 24hrs. This equates 0.74 Ah.

G'day Chris,
