I just got a Dometic Cfx35w and thinking of leaving it in my vehicle for day today use. Will be powered off second battery so not concerned with power requirements. But I was wondering what those who leave their fridges in vehicles day to day..... what do you do when the ambient temps drop? Dometic’s specs. say lowest ambient is around 61F, which I’m not surprised with a compressor. But there is no mention of a safety shutdown If ambient temps drop below recommended levels. I am assuming other makes have a recommended low ambient temp. Obviously as the ambient drops below setpoint the unit will not need to run to maintain setpoint, but what about at temps above setpoint but below min. recommended ambient for the unit to run, especially those who have them at a very low setpoint for freezing? Or am I overthinking this and just plug it in, set it and forget it? Lol
