A normal fridge in normal use will last what, 25 years? (It's more likely to be thrown away because it doesn't fit in with the new kitchen than because it's faulty!).

That's 25 years continuous use.

Sure, transporting one around and not letting it settle properly before use will cut that lifetime down.

Perhaps it might not last a year.

But a year of camping is, for most of us, a very long time. If you camp for a max of 4 weeks a year, that's over 10 years use.

We kept 2 pints of milk for two weeks using old fashioned solid water for £2 a day compared to their £4.50 a day for EHU.
