we have had our present icebox for about 6 months. with a large block of ice in the bottom and 2 bags of crushed over the top we have still had ice 7 days later that was with temp's around 30-32c along the murray. there were 2 adults and 2 teens. we had plenty of room in the ice box. will admit this is the second one the first was replaced under warranty when cracks developed in the inside back corner after 3 months. but it was replaced immediately with no hassles. with the block of ice it was 2 * 4 litre ice cream containers which was about 1/2 gone after the 7 days. note that if you are going to isolated areas ice can be hard to find.

happy camping

Block Ice will work far better then party ice.

TIP:
If you have a freezer make your own ice....it will be around -20 (or colder -23 if you set the dial to max) and it lasts a hellofalot longer compared to block or crushed purchased at local or ice store which is around -12 to -15.

Have put 12 tinnies in my 100 litre full of -23 ice and when i arrived at destination some 200 klm away the tinnies had to left in the sun to thaw out Wow! am I cute
