Hi all,

I'm a newbie (on here - not to camping!) and this is my first post!!!!

I'm feeling very enticed by these coolboxes, but I have two questions:

1) Does anyone have one, and if so, do they really meet the claims made by the manufacturers?
2) Has anyone seen them for bargain prices anywhere?

Thank you all in advance!

You can find a list of these coolboxes here, so you can check prices etc. http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/articles/view.asp?id=237

I personally have not used them though.

Cheers Ratty

The coleman extremes and their igloo counterparts can usually be purchased at costco for good prices, if you or a friend have a card it's worth a look. We have both the Coleman and an Igloo they are very good. used them for 4 day weekends and still had cold drinks at the end of the trip. The art is in how uyou pack them. We use a mixture of freezer blocks and litre bottles of water frozen. We freeze milk for the second half of the trip too. Everything goes in cold, and we pre-coll before a trip. Would recommned highly. The Igloo is our preference as it is a better shape, being the ice cube one, with wheels and a pull out handle. They both work as well as each other IMO though.

I've got the Coleman Extreme 70QT and have been very impressed. Sometimes just a bit big as there can be wasted space inside, but very useful when I don't want to take the 3-way fridge for a weekend or can't get EHU pitch. Strong and well made. I even use it for general storage and for packing stuff in. Managed to get mine off eBay for £20 and was virtually brand new (I collected).
