I kept milk in my coolbox for over 4 days last time I did freeze it before taking it though, just kept smelling it and it lasted far longer than I thought it would, had taken uht just in case.

We just use UHT and keep it in the coolbox!
Having said that we have just bought EHU lead for a weeks camping as OH flattened the battery in the car last time by "topping up" the coolbox without starting the car!!

You can alway's just put your milk in a pan of cold water throughout the night/day, absoultely fine then if your ice packs are running low.

I picked up a pack of nescafe white coffe cups. Home bargains, deal...
first time we camped we'd not even considered the electric side of things... I got coffee mate (or similar) but homoginised the flavours - tea tasted of coffee n vice versa. Powdered milk would have been better, a spoonful should do it before the water.

We use drink pacs

Just add boiling water..
we tried these and not impressed. DO NOT use boiling water or the milk goes lumpy.
for next trip we are taking a tube of condensed milk. We both take milk and sugar. This is what we used to do back when we backpacked.

Yes, the car is bigger than the 'van.

we buy the vending machine drinks from pound shops when we go non ehu, tea, hot chic and bovril. I'm a coffee snob and take a moka stove top and don't take milk with coffee so it isn't an issue.

We usually take a small carton of milk in the cool box but have also taken the vending packs of coffee/tea/hot chocolate that we buy in the pound shops (or similar). I like the idea of those drinkpacs though.
