What type of cool box - basic or electric?
Neither will work well in a tent on a hot day - tents get very hot inside.

I''ve got the 40l electric one and used it in a tent that's too hot to sit in comfortably. It kept the food nicely cool and fresh, I suspect if I tried to cool beer in it as well then it wouldn't have coped.

We have one and it is really good, it sometimes has ice inside

-------------
We camped for years. In 2019 we bought an Elddis Avante 454. We like it as it is short (6.9m) and fits in our driveway and has a fixed bed.
We had 127 nights away in the caravan in 2023.

Mine was really good for two years, but then just stopped working, the only thing with it was the icing up and then dripping into the coolbox.

I haven't replaced it yet, we are using our eight year old National Luna Fridge instead for the rest of this year, but I will replace the Halfords one with something better next time for shorter trips, the National Luna is used for longer trips but it is much much bigger and heavy (more room for wine, methinks!)

We got one after the one ordered from GoOutdoors refused to work on day 1 of a week camping!!

It is fantastic - great size, cools extremely well - not noisy at all.

I had 4 pint milk, 1 litre oj, 2 litre bottle pepsi, 2 bottles wine, butter, cheese, ham, yoghurts, chocolate - all kept cool.

Friend's got the biggest one in Halfords (on special offer for £70 or something similar)  Used it last week, on all the time, worked very well and HUGE amount of space compared to mine.
