It only seems to be branded 'Mobicool' on Amazon, though? Strange...

Yep lidds0, although Waeco and Mobicool are both Dometic brands, so I don't see an issue, with the FR35 now branded as Mobicool.
I view it much the same as Skoda and Volkswagen, same thing just that Skoda is the cheaper brand.

If the price of these fridges are too expensive try a coolbox.
There are 2 main types...
. Picnic variety will keep cold with ice blocks for several hours.
. Camping variety which have more insulation in the walls & cost more.
We have been on a weeks holiday with both, at different times. We are a family of 5.
We had the squashy sided 24L picnic one and 3 or 4 ice blocks and used on-site re-frezing of our blocks every day.
We now have Coleman Extreme coolbox. It is bigger and heavier. We use blocks or loose ice (from supermarkets). Checked every day, more ice every 1.5/2 days, depending no how hot it is and how much 'new' stuff is going in it.

I have in the past used an inverter when we used to camp in a tent on ehu of course we have a Mobicool one. We have since moved up to a caravan and I still use it from the external electric point using the inverter in the awning and I have had it running for ten days non stop with no problem. It is one of the best things that I ever bought for camping and I have had it for a good few years now I paid something like £34 at the time. Wouldn't be without it highly recommended

Hacksaw Bob is correct in saying look out for the temperature rating. 18degrees below the ambient is the lowest you really want and every few degrees make a difference in price and how well it works.
