yes, I know electric 12/24v cool boxes do exist, and after reading some reviews over the weekend they do not seem do be very reliable.
people complain these electric cool boxes do not really chill that well, not strong enough power supply, break down often and are noisy, preventing people from sleeping.
Has anyone any first had experience of using them and which ones in particular, over extended period of time?

Waeco. You get what you pay for. People pay peanuts for a cheap coolbox to run 24 hours a day and then complain when it doesn’t work as well as the expensive household fridge at home!

Hi Luke

How do you keep your food fresh.
I’ve looked into a few of your videos on YT and didn’t notice any cooler in your cab, maybe I’ve checked the wrong ones.
Are there any long warranties given when buying those electric coolers?
I guess this one would be a good bet:
amazon.co.uk/Waeco-Mobicool- … B000SO0JKY

Do you shop everyday/evening, or if not how do you then keep your food chilled/fresh.
The other question would be about your cooking.
Don’t you have cooking oil splattered all over your cab after frying fish or meat?
Oh, and while I’m talking about cooking, I’ve noticed in one of your vids, you cleaning your your pans with some spray and paper towel only. Is that good enough.
I’m not criticizing your way of doing things, but I would prefer to wash it all in some water with some washing detergent and then rinse with water to wash that detergent away, before I use all that cooking stuff again.
Cooking is not a bad idea, but in order to do that, you need to have 1. plenty of spare time, and tramper do not always have a lot of spare time, 2. you need to have all your ingredients with you in your cooler, so you don’t waste your time, going out, looking for a shop, shopping and then coming back to your cab to prepare a meal.

Cheers

I take it youve never been tenting away for a weekend?
Trim your shop down to neccessities and your own ease.
The sun is out, deckchair at the side of the road and a throwaway BBQ, happy days :wink:
