We will need a second fridge for drinks while towing through France and Spain for 6 weeks...

We have one - and there's only two of us. We have a three-way portable fridge, like this one: Dometic three-way fridge but we bought ours second-hand more than ten years ago and it's still going strong. We keep food for a picnic in it, in the car whilst travelling, and on site we put it outside under a table with a plastic cover, raised from the ground, to keep it out of the sun if we don't put an awning or sun-shade up. We use it for drinks and other bits if we do a big shop.

Like Val we use a Dometic like the one in the link below. We keep it in the awning.

We used a fairly standard table top fridge from Currys ... under £100 and 70L capacity ... had it for eight years ... never a problem.
Here's the link

We've got the same Dometic fridge as we had it from when we were tent campers. It sits in the awning and is perfect for drinks

We have a domestic table top fridge which we have used for at least15 years now, in fact we bought another last year as we saw one on offer in Argos - so we thought we get one just in case the old one gave up the ghost. Similar to this. Ours was £40 in a sale.
Gets much colder than the caravan type absorption fridges.

Our (old) dometic has a metal 'freezer' strip, about two inches wide inside the top, with an ice cube tray, and even in the heat of France, provided it's kept in the shade, will make ice cubes. Here it is sitting under the table in the Ceze a few years ago:

I'll second TomnGil, we've had the same Halfords coolbox for around 6-7 years now and has always stood up to the sunny French weather in August.
