Hi Yorci, The catches are really sturdy, made of thick rubber or silicone I think. They don’t seem remotely snappable!

Frazzle - I take plastic food containers to hold cheese and butter and other stuff to stop it sitting in water (not nice I agree)... but fine for drinks. I cover the hardier goods and ice blocks with bubble wrap and place my salad veg in bags on top to stop it freezing and going soggy. Given a good freezer for the blocks, It think the passive coolers such as Coleman Extreme (my own), Igloo, and Icey-Tek (cool in both meanings) are great. Our cheapo thermo-electric doesn't really compare. I left it outside in the Ardeche but not an option for when it rains...

Do campers 'peg it'?

When camping learn to buy fresh and eat it fast, or to buy and keep dried and canned food for emergencies (when the shops are shut).

Enjoy the liveliness of the syntax.

Bridgeywidge, I could have a box for cheese in our Extreme but it is easier to leave the cheese near the top of the box. It is never used for sandwiches/rolls as it would be warm cheese but used for topping chilli when I find a large chunk needs to be grated - it disappears before the meal often during grating (I think I'm the only one who does not eat it then).
I like the bubble wrap and bags for salad stuff - thank you... I'll use that idea.
When in France we hire a fridge - it is often outside the tent. We do cover it if rain is due and of course make sure the plug connectors are covered.
