engel icebox

Hello,
I just got back from going melbourne to perth back to melbourne. 10300 km, and my 45 L icebox with 11 kg of block ice in 2.5 and 3 L juice containers lasted between 4 and 5 days. I had to refreeze them three times in 14 days. Thus , when the ice is near melted, we go to a caravan park and stick it in the campers kitchen fridge. They icebox swallows 30 beer cans and quite a bit of ham, chicken, salads and spreads. Temperature of up to 43 degrees at Ceduna, and the icebox was kept in the car the whole time. It is a black car and gets bloody hot!
Cost for the Engel brand Icebox was $280 and I am extremely happy with it. Never breaks down, and can even take it down to the beach where no fourby is allowed and do some fishing.
The solar panel I use is a flexible 10 watt panel, and that is only used to recharge camera batteries, and incidentals. Too many people spending too much money keeping their beer cold with the 12 v fridges and solar panels costing thousands.

Just my opinion,
Cheers
