We go away in a couple of days  and we were thinking about taking our camping fridge and using that in addition to the caravan fridge in the awning. Our fridge is quite small compared to the most of the fridges in vans of its size and I'm constantly juggling stuff or having to go shopping every couple of days.

Does anyone else do this and would it cause a problem on the electrics (the fridge is a proper camping fridge) ?

Thanks for that, think we will take it then, it will be easier as I won't have to consider the size of everything at the shops and whether I will have space for it!

Must crack on with sorting stuff out,

We always used to take an extra fridge with us when we went to France.  The portable was to keep all the drink cold.  If you need it because you don't have enough room in your main fridge then take it.  We never found it a problem in running both.

Yup, we also. Always take the camping fridge as well - can never have too many cold beers!

Cheers!

For the last few years we have taken an electric coolbox with us when we go abroad but we have decided that for our Autumn trip we won't bother as the fridge in the new van is quite a bit bigger than the old one. Many years ago we used to take a small domestic fridge with us but found it heavy and thats why we went for the coolbox.

We take a 240 volt/12 volt cool box.  It is kept in the awning and runs off the outside 240 v.a.c. socket, and only demands 30 watts.
