Traveling Refrigerated 12V/120 portable Coolers. Affordable.

[Lee Vining]

They used to be soooo expensive but now find them around $150. Ain't cheap but much cheaper than in the recent past.
Anything above 25 quart/24 Liter usually have wheels and a pull handle and take two to lift them when loaded. At least for us it does. Trying to avoid another mid back epidural.

Wife keeps her Farmers Dog food frozen packets frozen for road trips. Works great deep freezing up to refrigerator temps.
The convenience and expense of not buying ice on the road is worth it. Frees up extra space too and ya don't have to dump the water and reload the ice.

The coolers that run the best and use the least energy are the ones with a tiny compressor. Mentions it in the description. Reliable and reasonably quiet. 12V and 120 volt compatible is essential for travel for us.
Some vehicles the 12V is always energized even when the vehicle is off. Hold that thought, a huge help.

Definitely less messy than dealing with bags of ice.

That's super cool. If I were a regular traveler, I would probably get one.

We carry one of these in the RV. There are cheaper ones on the market to be sure. The sub $200 market lacks quite a few features comparatively.

Configurable zones.... All one big fridge, all one big freezer, or dual zone
On board battery for untethered operation.
Multiple power options... AC, DC, direct solar.
Actual compressor rather than a TE circuit.
Backup and overflow for the onboard refrigerator in the coach.

Why did I go to the expense and trouble?
On a 4 day outing, the on-board freezer/fridge stopped working. $200 in groceries had to be thrown out. We had to cut the trip short or eat out every meal.
