I hear ya Michael,
we used to drive around in a woppy (VW bug) with a 5 gallon keg in the boot (front) and the tap inside. 5 gallon kegs were a good size and available back then (showing my age).
OK in those days, and we never had any trouble with the law.

A homebrewers paradise. Yes, I am a homebrewer.
Just have to work out how I can fit it in the Terracan.

How about mounting the 19 litre keg to the back of roof rack, and running beer line through rear door, coiling through the Waeco with tap mounted to side.

We've been joking about this for a while. You get one of the supercreapy 42L compressor fridges and wind up a copper coil or similar in the fridge that would hold a few litires then set it to about -10 or so and let her rip. When traveling you raise the temp up to about -3 so the bear doesn't freeze in the lines. Keg and gas would have to be stored somewhere else of course, tap could be mounted to the front or side of the fridge.
Of course I don't have the room for that!! So I'll just stick the plastic home brew bottles in the fridge and save my money! LOL

I thought I would go the cheap option and I bought a 5l Heineken keg. Once cold they will hold a good temp for a few ours, and a nice drop to boot.
But way, way, too gassy.
Didn't matter...fast pour, slow pour, cold glass, warm glass, tilted glass, not tilted glass, freshly rinsed glass, freshly used glass, stolen glass !!! coffee cup, plastic cup, tin cup.....
nothing but HEAD
which is good sometimes :-))
but not while pouring a beer :-(

I had a big old Ford LTD with the fold away headlight covers. The centre console was quite big so one day I unscrewed
the tub and siliconed 5c pieces into the recessed holes. Hey presto! A six pack esky for those long road trips in 'Limo of Love'. They were a great machine those LTD's.
Another option is this self propelled esky which a couple of mates of
mine built.
It is a Deutscher industrial mower with a 10.5hp Briggs and Stratton donk in it. Off with the blades, on with the old Tucker Box freezer, a set of chopper forks and a set of fats on the back. It has reverse and two forward gears and yes it will do a burnout. It now travels the state as standard fitment to Dave's new F250 with a set of ramps for easy access.

Those tyres arn't fats. They look like the
wheels on my Nanna's motorized
shopping cart.
Truckster has fats on his Nissan. They are the real deal.

Come on cobber. That's a genuine set of 7 x 3's with 'boongchrome' rims I'll have you know.
Well up on the originals.
Truckie will be arguing it should be running MTR's now you've managed to turn this around into another f*@#ing tyre thread.;-)

As others have said ,not much good having to stop to get a beer , in the early 70s had a VG Valiant and used to put a 9 gallon keg of Carlton draught in the boot with the line and gun through to the front ,used to be pick-up the full keg on a Friday arvo and return on the Monday ,cost was round the $17-18 mark . Back then the pubs in Albury were only allowed to open on a Sunday to "bona fide" travellers so was the best/cheapest way to have beer for the whole w/end.

He must have a very small keg for a car that size.
Maybe he uses a "beer bladder".

Heard about a similar thing in one of the variety bash cars - he had proper kegs and lines built into a stretched Hearse with a dozen spare kegs on the support vehicle. It is his 20th bash or something and he's got it sorted.
hiccupppp...
