We have a 55 litre cheap Chinese knock-off of something that even after 12 years refuses to die. It has a refrigerated compartment and along side that a "cool box" section with an adjuster to control the amount of cool, so to speak, going to the coolbox. (Allan B, RMD, I know what you're thinking LOL)
We run it as a minus 19 freezer - coldest it will go) when we're driving, and minus 10 when camped. We have sufficient solar and battery capacity to support that.
We pre-pack portions (pre-cooked meals, steak, chops, sausages, fish, frozen veges, etc) in sandwich bags and freeze them, supplemented by things that don't have to be frozen or cooled.
"At the end of the day we still need to place our evening meal on the Gamma oven ( the ute bonnet) to finish defrosting"
We use our 3.2 litre diesel microwave for quick defrost. LOL
Pull up to
camp. First thing is steak or whatever out of the freezer (second thing actually. First would be a cool beverage) and on to the heat shield above the turbo next to the exhaust manifold. It's not too hot for plastic containers and sandwich bags. Job done, and as the engine loses its high heat pretty quickly the food doesn't start cooking if left a bit long.
