Car Fridges/esky

[Ungabunga]

I'm looking to buy a decent size esky for a forthcoming series of long road trips, the type that has a 12V supply (a few pictured below to give an idea). I sent a mail off to ARB who apparently have a place in Rayong but no reply so far, so thought I'd ask here if anyone had one, or any recommendations where to buy, which one etc. I will be using it mostly for beer, although the wife may try and sneak some seafood and wotnot in there on occasion.

Thanks in advance for any info.

I recommend using a normal picknik box. It will keep your stuff cold for at least 24 hours with the cooling power of two bags of ice cubes from 7-11 or Family Mart or whereever. The pictured box has been riding thousands of kilometers with me - providing good services. Oh, and don't forget to open the bags and spill the ice cubes between your bottles for maximum efficiency.

[IMHO]

Have to agree with hkt83100 - ice is cheap and plentiful, as are insulated boxes to put it in. No electricity required, no generated heat to dissipate, and practically nothing to break

Not forgetting of course the 'new" restriction on anyone in a vehicle consuming alcohol! So keep it in the trunk.
