hi,

 

we are considering getting a 3 way coolbox and running it on gas within our tent.  does anyone know if there are any issues with this?  our tent has a sewn in groundsheet so my concern other than actually burning gas in tent is the CO / CO2 output of it and the limited ventilation?

 

anyone run one of these in a tent?

hi, welcome to the site. i just did a search and these came up, general opinion is keep your tent well ventilated and it will be fine.

Ps world of camping have a 3 way fridge for £120 , cheapest I've come across.

This was one of the reasons why we went for the vermont, the front area is on a bath tub groundsheet, more ventalation, you can seperate your kitchen gear, from your living space which is sewn in. Our three way fridge is well out of arms way.

Personally, I will only be using my newly-acquired 3-way in the kitchen/dayroom tent, not in the Minnesota.  I would, however, feel comfortable using it in the non-SIG "living area" of the Lakeside 4.

I always used to put mine under the sun canopy at night, never liked the idea of burning gas inside once we were shut up.
