When using mine during very hot days, I would try and keep it in the shade outside the tent as much as possible, and supplementary the cooling with ice blocks.
Not ideal, however, not much one can do when the cool box is only capable of cooling its content 16-18 deg C below the ambient temperature.
I shall be getting a better thermo-electric cool box that is capable of cooling 30 deg C below ambient temperature, in the form of a Waeco Tropicool, hopefully later this year in time for my last trip of the year in September in South Devon.
For my trip next week, I have decided to return to Fforest Fields where they provide fridge and freezer to campers free of charge, as I know my cool box is unlikely to cope with the hot weather (anything above 20 deg C is hot for me).

what do you do on really hot days? I set up the drive away awning in the garden last week & it got mega hot in there (it was about 23 degrees outside) & I thought blimey how will our food stay chilled in here? The t5 wasn't much better because we've had it insulated now. Going out on our 1st trip away in them both at the end of the month. We have a caravan on a seasonal pitch in Devon but meeting up with friends in Cornwall. I think the plan is to sell the caravan next yr if the van conversion idea works.
