I need a coolbox so wondered if this was a good deal?  Feel free to show a better deal if you know of one.  We are a family of four who, at the moment only use our trailer tent at the weekends maybe once a month, but hope to start going abroad and further afield for the odd week next year.  I would like a fridge that can be 12v / 240 ideally as we have EHU.

We have a simular box to the one you are looking at which we find is v/good for the two of us,BUT if there were more of us we would invest in a box a bit bigger,really I would say take the biggest box you could carry,

I'm not sure that box would be big enough?

We had an Outwell mains/battery one which was okay but have just bought a table top fridge as we always have EHU. It's brilliant.

The Outwell one is bigger and also operates at a lower temp - they cost around £40.

It is a good deal but maybe a little small for a family of 4.

I have a 14 litre mini fridge just for me and I have difficulty getting everything I want into it. To give you an idea of space I think mine is supposed to take 10 normal sized drinks cans which isn't very big.

May be reasonable for the coolbox but the mains transformer almost doubles the price.
