Product Information

Obviously this isn’t hot enough to actually cook food, but it means you can keep your fish and chips warm if you’re busy – watch out for bacteria though – the heating should just be for short blasts after you’ve actually cooked the food. All electrical equipment should have a label attached which gives the voltage (230v or 240v usually) and the watts. As I've been working away from home for the last 18months and the hotels have not been doing food I needed a way of storing food and keeping it cool. This is great for a car where you can use the cigarette lighter socket, but not so good in your tent when you have a 240V mains hookup. I would be getting it down to temperature before plugging in with the icepacks - it says it can get down to ambient -18 but in an indium grey van in the sun that could still be warm.

However, most gas fridges can also run off electricity, but cost more than pure electric alternatives. Thermoelectric coolers cannot be set to a particular temperature like on a conventional fridge – they just cool a certain amount, and it depends how high the fan is whirring as to how much cooling is performed. On its warming and cooling capabilities, the lowest the fridge can go is 3°C, while the highest is 65°C. Just to back up what everyone else has said, Peltier coolboxes are really greedy and inefficient, and you shouldn't take more than 50% of a Pb battery's capacity. Typical starter battery capacity 70Ah (but don't use move than 1/2 or you'll shag the battery, you need a leisure deep discharge rated battery for running down regularly that but they're generally not good for stating cars).

I had never heard of any campsites limiting the availability of EHU until the recent discussions so I wouldn't worry too much about that. An electric coobox will also have a label on it giving all the details you need to work out the amps.

The only thing you have to worry about with EHU is that the electrical items you are using are not drawing more amps than the site is providing. From our experience, it is important to carefully examine the features of a particular product to make sure it will match up to the conditions under which you will be using it. It is almost completely silent which can be a godsend when it’s running in your tent and you’re trying to sleep. Value is subjective, but to YETI, it has always meant a superior product that will stand up to the demands of a life spent in the wild.

A well installed (10cm insulation) compressor fridge with 2 big solar panels and 110Ah batts copes pretty well but normally it's more effective to run an engine driven compressor.How long could you use a 21L 12V cooler box in a car with a decent battery without risking flattening the battery if the vehicle was stationary? The Hi-Gear is also one of the only cool boxes we’ve found which will take a 2 litre bottle of pop standing up – there is a hole built into the underside of the lid especially for this purpose.
