Description
The Dometic Recon 69L Hardside Cooler offers generous storage for shared camping trips, larger camp kitchens and food-and-drink loads that outgrow a compact icebox. The 69L interior has a manufacturer-listed capacity of up to 100 cans, with a divider and drop-in basket included to help keep different parts of your load organised.
Its longer body uses the same approximately 420 mm width and 456 mm height as the Recon 41L, extending the depth to approximately 840 mm. An injection-moulded shell, welded seams and 5 cm insulation are paired with a dual-opening, removable lid and Recon’s stackable design for a coordinated touring setup.
Is the Recon 69L right for your setup?
-
Plan the larger load: choose the 69L when packing volume matters. Separate meal ingredients, drinks and smaller items with the supplied organiser pieces, leaving space for ice or ice blocks.
-
Measure before buying: the approximately 840 × 420 mm footprint takes more vehicle space than the 41L. Check the loading opening as well as the storage area and lid clearance.
-
Think through handling: the empty cooler weighs 14.97 kg. A full load can add substantially to that weight, so choose an accessible position and plan how it will be moved.
Key features
-
5 cm insulation: the insulated hardside construction helps keep packed contents cool without electrical power, making it straightforward to use away from a powered campsite.
-
Dual-opening, removable lid: access the cooler from either side or lift the lid off for a clear opening when loading, unloading and cleaning.
-
Stackable Recon design: non-slip feet locate in the lid recesses of other Recon coolers, helping you organise compatible coolers together. Allow for the total stacked height in your setup.
-
Magnetic insulated drain plug: the integrated drain gives you a practical way to empty melted ice water at the end of a trip.
-
Bottle-opener latch catches: die-cast metal catches also open bottles, keeping a useful camp-kitchen function on the cooler itself.
-
Lock and tie-down points: built-in points provide options for securing your cooler as part of a planned vehicle or campsite arrangement.
-
Folding carry handles: soft-touch grips help with handling, while the handles fold down when the cooler is positioned for storage.
-
Divider and basket included: create separate sections and keep smaller items together, making it easier to find what you need at meal times.

Packing and common questions
How much will fit once ice is added?
The litre and can figures are capacity guides. Ice, ice blocks, bottles and food containers all occupy space, so plan around your actual combination rather than treating the can count as a packed-with-ice guarantee.
How long will it stay cold?
Ice retention depends on the starting temperature of the contents, the amount of ice, outdoor conditions and how often the lid is opened. Keep these factors in mind when planning how to pack and access the cooler during your trip.
Can I pack bottles upright?
The Recon accommodates upright wine bottles. Bottle shapes and heights vary, so check your particular bottles and leave room for the rest of the load.
