A good eski, eg, techni-ice will keep things frozen for days (up to a week in ideal conditions) and damn cold for a week or more used with the appropriate ice blocks. (the bigger the better)
Made from Polyethylene they a strong as hell and can be used as a table/workbench ladder/step etc. They will take any amount of heavy things stored on top of them, ie in transport.
The power consumption of the car fridges is the critical point. The cheaper ones are usually more expensive to run.
Obviously these days solar panels are affordable and reliable to keep the necessary batteries charged. (teir 1 of course)
Fridges can be wired to the vehicle electrics to get charging on the run. There a are many different ways to wire them in so as to prioritize the charging of batteries from the alternator or the solar panels.
Of course all of this is extra cost on top of an eski.

hey lucky

thanks mate,

yeah, thats what i was thinking about the extra cost,

i can do all of the install myself ,

were going to be doing some road trips to gero, kal, mandurah, bunbury, etc for kids bmx super series and finals,

each place we go were going to stay for 3 to 4 days so want to make it a family holiday as well,

i dont mind the camping side of things and was thinking the fridge might make things a bit more like home if you know what i mean,
