New product | Vitrifrigo Slim 170
Meet the new Slim 170
Joining the Vitrifrigo Slim range
160 litres of total storage, including a 28-litre freezer, for your next motorhome build or fridge replacement. The new Slim 170 adds a front-ventilated option between the Slim 150 and Slim 250.
A new choice for motorhome refrigeration
The Vitrifrigo Slim 170 joins the Slim 90, Slim 90i, Slim 150 and Slim 250, giving you another way to match refrigerated storage to your vehicle layout. It runs on 12/24 V DC and combines an internal cooling unit with a single front-opening door.
The model name is Slim 170; its specified total volume is 160 litres. Within that space, the 28-litre three-star freezer operates at -18°C for storing frozen food.

Choose your Slim 170 interior
Two interior layouts share the same dimensions, total volume and freezer capacity.
Comfy: pull-out drawer
A 31-litre net-volume internal drawer brings food and drinks towards you. A divider helps organise the drawer, while two door balconies provide additional storage.
Easy: fruit and vegetables
An 11-litre fruit compartment provides dedicated produce storage. The single door balcony accommodates 2-litre bottles.
Front ventilation and everyday controls
The Slim 170 exchanges cooling air through its lower front grille. This self-venting arrangement supports a fully recessed installation without a separate remote cooling unit.
Night and Turbo modes
Night mode reduces noise and energy use. Turbo mode brings the refrigerator down to its set temperature more quickly.
Controls and lighting
The multifunction thermostat sits at the top of the refrigerator and incorporates two high-brightness white LEDs. Internal LED lighting helps you see the contents.
Vent position
The handle can hold the door slightly open while the refrigerator is out of use, helping air the interior and reduce odours. The reversible door lets you select the opening direction.
Choice of finish
Choose Light Grey with a glossy pearl-effect panel or Black with a matt, anti-fingerprint, scratch-resistant soft-touch finish. Replaceable finishing panels accept thicknesses from 0.8 to 3.0 mm.
Slim 170 installation details
The cabinet measures 1245 mm high × 523 mm wide × 543 mm deep. The Comfy version has a specified weight of 40 kg, an internal cooling unit and R600a refrigerant.
Replacing an existing fridge? Check the installation first.
Vitrifrigo identifies the Slim 170 as sharing the cut-out dimensions of Dometic and Thetford 150-litre three-way fridges and most 150–175-litre compressor fridges. This is not a universal fit guarantee: send us your existing model and opening measurements so we can check the cabinet, door clearance, ventilation and electrical supply before you order.
