Magic Chef 288L 12V RV fridge for caravans and motorhomes
The Magic Chef MCDCR10DSBMFB gives caravans, motorhomes and off-grid builds generous refrigerator and freezer capacity from a direct 12V DC supply. Its black-glass refrigerator door opens from either the left or right without rehanging the hinges, while the pull-out bottom freezer keeps frozen food easy to reach.
Separate electronic refrigerator and freezer settings, automatic defrost, forced-air cooling and a supply-voltage display make it practical for extended New Zealand touring. Integrated travel latches help keep the refrigerator door secure on the road.

Installation and fit checks
This is a substantial built-in RV appliance. Before ordering, confirm the cabinet opening, mounting points, ventilation space, cable size and circuit protection with your installer. The manual requires the refrigerator to be level and fixed to the cabinet, with at least 25.4 mm clearance at the top, sides and rear for ventilation.
- Leave the refrigerator upright for more than one hour before switching it on.
- Use a properly sized 12V DC circuit protected at 15A to 20A.
- Do not use auto-resetting or mini-breaker-type circuit protection.
- Operate only one side of the dual-swing door latch at a time.
- Allow for ventilation clearance in addition to the product dimensions.
This model may suit a replacement or new-build RV refrigeration project, but it is not represented as a universal direct swap. Always measure the available space and have the electrical installation checked before purchase.
Common questions
Does this refrigerator need a 230V inverter?
No. The MCDCR10DSBMFB is designed to run directly from a correctly installed and protected 12V DC supply.
Can the refrigerator door open from either side?
Yes. The upper refrigerator door can open from the left or right without rehanging the hinges. Use one release side at a time.
Can I use it to replace another RV refrigerator?
Potentially, provided the cabinet opening, ventilation, mounting and 12V electrical requirements are compatible. Compare the full measurements and installation requirements before ordering.
Where can I view or order it in New Zealand?
Contact Select Caravans to discuss fitment, collection from our Henderson, Auckland showroom or delivery options across New Zealand.
