Hey @Dometic
You’ve gone dark.
How about giving us some info on the recall of the CFX3 line due to fires caused by simultaneous AC/DC operation.

From what I understand ALL of the CFX family have this electrical issue. There is no fix. Dometic says just do not plug the 120v and 12v cords into the unit at the same time. The “recall” is to send you a sticker to apply on your cooler to remind you not to do this.

Edit: Looking at the pdf again, they give a range of serial numbers.
00700001 thru 02303122 or 94900011 thru 95200240

It’s a good fridge. As long as you run from DC always in your vehicle, you should be OK. Then disconnect the DC plug when you run on your house AC. I don’t see any reason to ever run from the AC in the truck, it’s less efficient.

So, it always runs off the AC on the Goal Zero and the Goal Zero gets charge from solar, and truck DC when driving, or plugged in when there is an outlet.

I really wanted to run it off the Goal Zero DC outlets, but it just doesn't work.
My Dometic CFX3-35 runs off of DC from my Jackery 500 generator, but it seems I recall something about needing a special cord for running off DC on some Goal Zeros. Maybe someone with more knowledge will post about this (if in fact I’m not dreaming).

Which model of Goal Zero do you have? The older Yetis had unregulated 12V outputs for the car port that didn’t play well with Dometics. You’re supposed to use their special regulating power cord for them.
Here’s an article about it.

But the lead-acid versions are supposed to work OK.
