I am a bit puzzled by the how well these fridges / coolers control temperature.

WE currently have an electric cooler peltier system. It does a good job of a bad situation but if the temp goes down over night any food you have in there and milk will freeze.

I wanted to get a 3 way but after looking at the manufacturers webb sites Im still not sure if while running on gas they are thermostatic in control. Ie do they just chug away at 15 below ambient or do they have some decent temperature control ?

We dont want to fork out on this expense if it is going to ruin food.

Also do people keep them running in their tents overnight
or porches.

Id like to keep it in the porch of our biaritz. Just wondering about any monoxide it may produce.

When on gas they do just cool down to a temp below ambient but you can control this degree of cooling. Unless you can totally prevent any draught or basically seal your awning air tight the small amount of carbon momxide should not be a problem.

You can control the combicool 3way temperature on any of the 12v or 230v or gas...

We have one and its superb it only freezes if you set it too low....
