This is essential as the main staple in camping conditions is beer.
The duration of the stay is measured by how long your ability lasts in keeping the beer cold, or the need to break camp in order to drive to buy more beer, this is a matter of survival logistics as the trip must be calculated based on the remaining.........beer .

Cool (if you'll pardon the pun)... I could fit right into your camping culture! Make my cooling requirements 2 x 80L Engels and the token Esky!!

I currently run a Trailblaza 60l fridge and they are huge. (but I want the energy efficieny and insulation they offer) (My Fridge)

I do not have much room after the fridge is in place apart from top loading the unit with larger light stuff...

I have a shelf built off the cargo barrier to give me access to the fridge. However, if I built a slide out unit for it, I would get another heap of usable space above the fridge...

Still, here I would not swap the fridge for the world. There is nothing like taking food out of the cold box that is not wet and droopy!!!
