Turn it up Stu, a 40 L would barely hold your daily beer ration LOL.
I've just gone to 80L and reckon that's about right, but they chew power. For extended stays you would need solar, unless you have access to 240 as Stu said. I've just spent 5 days away and even with an AGM battery the car needs to be run daily or idled a few times a day.
Having gone from 39L, the problem is similar in regard to power draw, just a little less.
With a 40 L, by the time you put in 6 beers, a bottle of wine, some milk, a bottle of
water, some meat, maybe a soft drink or two, the bloody thing's full. If you want to add some fruit, a block of cheese, some dip, sundried tomatoes, a jar of mayo, some straz or ham, etc etc you simply can't fit it.
Depends how comfortable you want to be. A 40 L will certainly ensure you have the basics covered but if you want to be comfortable for your month away, get a bigger one.
The next question is do you want the luxury of a freezer compartment as
well? Bit of ice cream? Some ice cubes for your Scotch?
Also consider whether the freezer compartment is permanent or can remove the dividers to let the unit become all fridge for you to use it for different applications at different times.
Good Luck,
Jim.
