Hi we are off on a camping trip next week and have purchased the cooler .I was wondering if any one has any advice on the best way to pack and how much ice yoiu need .Are ice cubes best or freezer packs or could I use frozen water bottles.So many questions just want to make sure I have the right combo to keep food cool for 5 days any help appreciated.
The larger the mass of the frozen object the more energy it will require to be melted.
Go for the empty 2 litre plastic bottles (or larger) and fill them to 90% full with water. Should easily last 4-5 days (depending on the ambient temperature and how often you access the cooler). I generally swap one or two each night from a freezer to retain the temperature in the compartment.
I was thinking of getting the 9qt size to keep drinks cool in the car while I'm working. do you think, say, 3 bottles of water would stay cool from 8 till 5 in a car on a hot day with one of these?
Amazing family weekend with old steam engines, classic car displays, market stalls, and full catering and bar. And camping on site - Save £25 by booking in advance.
