Well, the fiance (asked her on the first day of camping) and I just wrapped up the her half of a trip through Big Sur (she is leaving to OH for some weeks, I'm driving back down), and thanks to GillTi we got to taste the luxury of having an Engel 45 on the trip. Now, we are hooked. The thermoelectric cooler just won't cut it for long trips. So, the question is what are the options of fridges. I only know of the Engels and the ARBs. I would love to have more information on possible makers, serviceability, price, etc. The 45 seemed like a good size. Since this was mainly a road trip with backpacking we took her RAV4 instead of the Samurai, and it fit great behind the driver's seat (post pictures soon in Completed Adventures). It worked great in spite of not having a deep cycle or dual battery. We would just run it cold while driving, then let it hold the temp. Food stayed fresh the whole trip. Thanks for any help.
