Hello daisytent,

I'm with matshan on this.  I've never come across the EVO but the Coleman is a good, reliable brand; and, as my father says, what will hold a lot will hold a little - but vice versa is not true.  You may well need more capacity in the future or camp somewhere far away from convenient shops.

I know, but there are only 2 of us and we'll probably be putting a pint of milk and some cheese in it!
I was thinking we could put pots and pans etc in it to make it earn its space, but I'd rather have the smaller one if its any good.

Sorry but i'm with the others, we have the Coleman extreme and it does exactly what it says on the label!

We have used it for 5 days and it has kept everything fresh and frozen, i have never heard of the Evo but would highly recommend the Coleman.

We bought the larger coleman and like you nearly fainted when we saw the size!  Used it on a long weekend away and have to say that it is the best ever.  Everything was ice cold when we needed it and we were constantly in and out of it as well. 

Going away next week and planning to use it then to take the basics - milk, cheese etc and also going to make some meals and freeze them.  They will go in too and serve as cool blocks until we use them.  With a bit of luck we'll have some room left for beer :)

Hey, sarinkov, there are at least three members of UKCS who will be at Fforest Fields next week; mully will be there also.

Can't wait to get away - am in need of getting away from the rat race.

Can't help on the cool box, we bought a Lidl plug in sorry

But wanted to say that we'll be at Fforest fields too

We precooked, bagged up and froze our meals as well and i was having to get them out to defrost for two hours before being able to cook them as they were still so frozen lol.
