We have an Igloo Kool Mate 40 but I think they may be discontinued! it is brilliant, much better than some cheap cool boxes. It keeps everything including the beer ice cold . We paid 89.99 for it and it is one of the best pieces of camping equipment we have.

I started off with an electric cool bag (£40)...soon gave up on this as I couldn't get enough enough Bow in it and it didn't keep it cool enough.

Had a look on e-bay and picked up this little beauty "Husky Fridge" immaculate condition for £40 (£100 new) - highly recommend.

Have to agree with the husky, great piece of kit. Will be taking mine to france again this year. Make sure when buying that you get the refrigirator one, husky also do one that is just a cooler, looks exactly the same you . they are quite heavy though.

Take your washing up bowl and fill it with cold water. Then put your beer in it with a tea towel over the top (edges of the towel in the water). The water gets drawn up by the towel and cools your beer down. Sounds weird but it works.

We use a Waeco CF25, keeps everthing at the right temp, including the beer!, TowSure I notice are doing the CF35 at £499.95! ooch, and they are out of stock. great kit but at that price a serious investment.

   "Recycle" big polystyrene box from work, put a bag of ice in it, place pre-chilled beer or wine in. Saves opening the coolbox with food too many times.
