I just invested in a 3 way fridge - 35lt ( 240v, 12v and lpg ), which ment I could keep it going while I was driving to the site. Once there I ran it off the gas, perfect!

If your need is only 240v no worries but it might make it more flexable if you have the options.

We bought a cool box from Wilkinsons £20 and a £10 12v/240v adpater. (Woolies do similiar that will operate either built in).  We were away for the good wekk of summer (yeh the one good week when it were really hot to dry up all the flooding)

Think if this as a cooling box and not a fridge.  We used ours to keep the butter/sausages/milks etc from going off and it worked.  The box says ablient-16 so anything more than 20degs would means its hotter than a standard fridge which should run at 4degs.  We never had any problems except we threw some ham away after 4 days becuase it was ?????.  But you need to consider how quickly stuff would go off without a cool box.

Hi daisytent,

We recently bought the electric coolbox from Aldi, a complete waste of money.  Don't get me wrong it works well enough, but unless you have a trailer of small truck I think they are too big to be packed practically.

We have just purchased the Campingaz Isotec 10 Litre coolbox, an excellent piece of kit well worth it (It apparently keeps stuff cool for 17 hours).  It only required Icepack changes in the mornings.

They do larger sizes which claim to keep food cool for 24 hrs (I don't doubt it).  The 17litre version I have only found at John Lewis though.

Our milk etc always remained Ice Cold (the butter was never spreadable though).
