Hi, I'm looking for an electric cool box for our camper van. We are off on our tour of Scotland at the end of July and some places are remote. I'd liketo take a bit more foodwise tban will fit Iin our fridge. It would be good if it would fit behind driver's seat in vw t5 lwb. Neither of us are tall so, a bit of room there.

Your vehicle battery may not last long running a coolbox.

How cool do you need and for how long?

Well, ideally I'd like one that runs on 12v and 240 when hooked up. They're not cheap, so I'd like some recommendations first. We will be hooked up when not travelling so, not really a problem.

Any fridge of electric coolbox you buy can only be run in 12v mode while you are driving, simple as that. If you want to run on mains ehu while parked then you have option of cheap electric coolbox with either 230v mains adaptor(£15)or some coolboxes have built in mains adator, ie they are 12v/230v. This setup will probably cost under £60. If you are running it your van at night the hum from it might disturb you.

Or you can pay around £170 for 3way fridge box which should be more efficient in hot weather, is silent in operation & can also be run on gas if you want, but should not be run on gas inside van at night unless you fix up an exterior vent.

Thanks everyone. Halfords ones seem to get good reviews too so may go and look at those.
