They sound very similar to our Italian neighbours on the Med.  We've met them several years running,  who have a full size fridge/freezer, and as many kitchen gadgets as Argos - including an ice-cream maker.  This year they even bought a plastic cupboard as big as a wardrobe, to keep all their foodstuffs in to keep them out of the way of mice!

 Well done Val, I had forgot that they also have one of those B&Q esq large plastic cupboards as well.

As well is two words!

Ha ha that's what i love about camping! Some people strive to be absolutely minimalistic and others don't!

Val i bet the thick polystyrene worked just as well? I wouldn't be transporting food from England as we love the food in France, i was trying to avoid the daily run to the supermarket as our camper fridge is so small and i wouldnt trust meat or fish in the electric coolboxes! I thought a tiny freezer could ride in the camper and we could chill it down when we arrived on site but perhaps i am making life too complicated! Thats the problem with this cold wet weather, it gives you time to think about camping instead of doing it!

Thanks Kelper, i was going to keep my rose in it! Does your table top make a buzzing noise - i thought it might keep hubby awake (not me- i can sleep through anything!)





No buzzing from ours, and it is right next to our bed ... and Mrs K is very fussy about any extraneous noises!
Many fridges and freezers are rated by a country's average ambient temp ... might be worth thinking about buying a freezer in France/Spain/Italy? Or, if you can afford it .... the Sahara??!

Oh good news especially for Mrs K!
Now thats a thought but electrical appliances seem a lot more expensive abroad, although the trip would be fun!

Good news bellringer, presumably it is always in the shade?
last year we threaded up a small groundsheet to act as a sun shield, the string helped it to work like a poor man's austrian blind!
