Next week I set off for Le Mans.

I have been looking at 12v fridges to cool beer and beer alone. There are a number of mixed reviews on these, many suggesting that they're pretty rubbish and actually have the opposite effect.

Any recommendations?

TIA

Thank you for the advice.

What about buying an inverter 12v - 230v and getting a small fridge or even a small freezer?

I'm actually contemplating this - just seems expensive for a cool box!

I've got one fill it up on the Friday with 3 bags of ice and first round of beers. Still ice/cold come time to go home Monday after several refills of beer over the weekend.

I'd get the one with wheels bloody heavy loaded. Can be used as a bonus seat.
Have you got this actual make / model?

Same make, slightly different model. Has wheels and extendable handle.

Genuinely impressed with it. Very heavy duty. Don't expect to replace it any time soon.

Thank you. Before I order, one last question - more in line with PH standards I'd hope. How many cans of beer does it hold?! wink

I'm in Le Mans now. It's absolutely roasting. Whatever you were planning to do to keep things cool, turn it up to 11.
We're on our way! Keep those beers cool smile
