WAECO 80DZ 78 Litre Mobile Cool Box
The Waeco WCC 80DZ is a 78 litre dual zone compressor cool box built for campers, motorhome owners and van travellers who need a fridge and a freezer in one portable unit.
Two separate compartments run at independently controlled temperatures, each adjustable between +20°C and -18°C, so fresh food sits chilled on one side while frozen supplies stay solid on the other.
A digital display shows the settings at a glance, and the whole box runs from a 12V or 24V DC supply in cars, campervans, motorhomes, trucks and boats.
How Does the WAECO 80DZ Store Chilled and Frozen Food at the Same Time?
The WCC 80DZ has two compartments with independent temperature controls, each adjustable between +20°C and -18°C.
One side works as a fridge while the other freezes, all within a 78 litre total capacity. Compressor cooling draws 47 watts, runs on 12V or 24V DC and includes 3-stage battery protection for safe use on leisure batteries.
Compressor cooling delivers full freezing performance in hot weather, backed by Waeco's decades of experience in mobile refrigeration. The 47 watt power input keeps energy use low, and 3-stage battery protection monitors your supply, cutting out before your leisure or starter battery drops below a safe level. A USB-C port charges phones and small devices, while a daisy chain loop connects accessories. The lid lifts off completely for loading and cleaning, and the intuitive latch opens with one hand.
Measuring 890mm wide, 500mm high and 457mm deep with an empty weight of 22.8kg, the WCC 80DZ travels well thanks to space saving drop down handles and rugged corner protection with integrated feet for rough campsite ground. The unit runs on natural R600a refrigerant. For 230V use at home or on hook-up, the optional Waeco WPS 90 mains adapter (UK part number 9630002156, sold separately) connects the cooler to a standard socket, handy for pre-chilling before departure. Manufacturer part number 9630001973.

Is Waeco the same brand as Dometic?
Waeco is a long established German name in mobile refrigeration with more than four decades of compressor cooling expertise. The brand joined the Dometic Group, and for several years its coolers were sold under the Dometic name. The WCC series is sold under the Waeco brand and uses the same well proven compressor technology.
