[QUOTE="Pete B, post: 213848, member: 3821"] I have no experience of gas ones but do think they can be a bit bulky and of course, you need somewhere to store the gas bottle. My small (15 litre) 'leccy cool box can pull 48W, so at 12v thats 4 amps. With the 85Ah leisure battery fully charged thats just 21.25 hours continuous use before it's flat. It does last longer due to having a thermostat and I also turn it off quite a bit. Like Clem, I chill/freeze everything before (inc the coolbox) and use LOTS of ice packs in a conventional modern coolbox, sometimes with a folded blanket draped over it. Seems to keep stuff cold for a couple of days. Any 'box running on 12v will drain the battery fairly quickly without the engine running, don't think there is a 'perfect' solution fella, just have to pitch up for a day at a time then drive a bit further to top up the battery!
