Do quite a bit of travel trailer camping with wife and kids and pretty much gotta buy ice every other day. Thinking of getting an electric cooler. Do any of yall have one? The prices for these are all over the place.

I've been looking at this one but it's not super big....

Have you checked out Yeti? They hold ice for 7 days and are bear proof

Check out Iceco I have one of their 12v coolers and it works great. Its all about the compressor in them.

I've been so disappointed with my YETI coolers as far as holding ice goes. I have to drain water and put new ice in every other day.

I bought a 21Q from here:

https://setpowerusa.com/

I just wanted to try it out because I get tired of all my food getting wet from melting ice. I have only used once but it worked great. If it continues to work well then I may try and get one on wheels.

Funny timing. I just had one delivered to my office
I have been looking at different models, but decided to try a small, inexpensive one with good reviews. Gonna use it this weekend and see how she does.
23qt $169

That looks pretty much exactly like the setpower I bought. Same size and everything.

Probably. Let us know what you think. Mine worked perfect for a weekend at the ranch. I plugged it into a small battery when travelling to and from.

No idea if it makes a big difference but I've heard or read not to drain water. Supposedly helps cooling last longer. Guess it depends what's in the cooler, but beer cans are pretty waterproof.

Weird that the 60 quart is discounted to less than the 32.

Any idea how long it would run on a 12 volt lithium ion marine battery ? Say 100 Ah ?

So I looked this one up.. says 360 Watt hours a day which is about 3 Ah day .. so a 100AH battery would be 30 days ? That seems too crazy but maybe it's correct. I guess it would also depend on how much stuff you have in there so the daily load may vary ?

There's no way that's right. I remember looking at run times because I was thinking about buying a Jackery or some other power station. I don't remember the numbers though. Definitely not 30 days

  • 45W Low Power Consumption: With ECO energy saving mode, this 23 Qt portable refrigerator's operating power is less than 36W. Even running on MAX mode(45W), it consumes far less than 1kWh/day for its intelligent cycle work. You can run this portable freezer fridge with 12/24V DC power on various vehicles, such as SUVs, Trucks, RVs, Camper, Van, Boat, etc

Probably about 3 hours on 100W

That is 100Ah not 100Wh

I swear fullback posted 100Wh earlier
redaszag99
How long do you want to ignore this user?
100Ah @ 12V is 12,000Wh

12,000Wh/45Wh=~11days
