Currently away in the tent with one. As mentioned, stuff needs to go in cold preferably.
We weren’t camping till day 3 of our trip so it only got plugged in when we arrived on site. Some cheese, cold meats and beers in it but it really struggled to bring the temp down until I bought a bag of ice and put it in. Normally we would have it plugged in from leaving the house after we had filled it with contents from the house fridge.
Couple of points to note,
1. The fan can be quite noisy/ obtrusive though it can be turned down. Can be loud enough in the car to hear it whilst driving along.
2. It has vents that need to be left free. Which usually means we travel with ours in the rear footwell with space around it rather than jam packed into the boot with bags/tent etc all around it.
And when we do add a bag of ice, note that it will eventually melt and these bags quite often have holes in them. ( my brother suggested better to use a frozen bag of peas instead)
