Best non-electric coolbox?

5 replies

Can anybody recommend a good non-electric coolbox please? Currently we're using a standard picnic coolbag with ice blocks, which keeps milk and similar cold for a night or two, but we're thinking of booking some longer camping trips so need to upgrade! We have a micro-caravan and a decent sized awning, so size not particularly an issue, but we tend not to get EHU so non-electric is a must. With wheels for easy transport would be a bonus. Is it worth investing in an Iceytek or Yeti, or are there others that work as well? We are me, DC7 and DC5. Thanks!

icy tek

Icey Tek and Yeti are both excellent.
Coleman Xtreme is also a high performance ‘passive’ box and a bit cheaper.

The key is management: pre chill, put as much as possible into it frozen (I freeze milk, bread, burgers etc), open it as infrequently as possible and for as short a time as possible. Throw in a new bag of ice if the temperature starts rising, swap freezer blocks if the site has a freezer.

I love my Icey Tek but it does take up a lot of room in the car.

Yeti.

I’ve got a Yeti. Went away for four nights earlier in July and everything was still cold when I got home.

I camp on my own and tend to freeze things in portions for use during the trip which helps keep everything else cold.

I’ve got an igloo maxcool roller one and it’s great. I bought it 5 years ago and I’ve just looked, it’s a full £45 more than I paid for it now. Bloody hell!
