Hi,

I'm looking for some help on purchasing a fridge.  At the moment we have one of those portable mini fridges which cost about £20 and is no use for anything!  In fact last weekend the things in our normal coolbag with 3 icepacks stayed colder after 2 days and the things in the fridge started to heat up!

Anyway, I'm wondering whether this fridge is any good for camping or would it have too much nast gas escaping in our sig tent.  Any good fridges around if this is no good?  It doesn't need to be big as we only go camping for a max of 4 nights at a time and there are only 3 of us. Oh, and we always have an EHU. 

Any advise would be great!

Not exactly sure what would be best but here is a link to a site that has fridges/freezers specifically for camping use. Might give you some idea of what's available.

Thanks for all your advice.

My OH has just kind of made the decision for me, he just bought 2 digital photo frames which has digital TV feature on it - one for camping and one for the garage (dunno why he can't just use the same one for both lol!) which means my budget is now slashed so its gonna have to be a powerful cool box!  I actually think this is probably our best option anyway as we only do about 5 days camping maz in a row.

Thanks again!

Coleman Xtreme is great for up to 5 days.

Make sure you cool it 24 hours before you go and then put fresh ice blocks in when you leave.

In fact we freeze water in empty squash bottles and then just let them slowly defrost. it works a treat. As they melt the water stays ice cold.

Hi, I too am looking to buy 'proper' fridge for longer camping trip and have read all the advice here - very useful. Have been looking at the waeco range and just wondering what this meant...

Have read it on a few descriptions.
