We are off to France in August in our tent. I am looking at buying a fridge/cooler to keep stuff cool in our family dome tent.I have decided to run it off an EHU (loads of great advice in earlier threads - thanks)

However I don't know what sort of fridge to buy, some of you advocate buying a domestic table top fridge, others a powered cool box and others a proper camping fridge. So i suppose I am asking, which is best/what are the pro's & con's of the different types/any recommendations etc.

Many thanks

A small proper (mains compressor) fridge will always be the best, the kind thats used in flats/Bedsits, if you are always going to use hookup.

Hi there, We use a Combicooler and it is fantastic. It holds a mountain of stuff and is totally silent in use.You power it by electricity,12 volt or gas. It really does keep things COLD!! Not just less than warm. You can get one from Towsure for about £130.You cannot go wrong with a Combicooler. Have fun!

Any idea as to how long the warranty is on the combicool fridges? and once its run out are they repairable?
