Coolbox…igloo, Ninja?

[Moonlightfrog]

Are the Ninja, igloo cool boxes worth the money? Are there cheaper alternatives? We only camp for 3 or 4 days at a time, we have a camper and we do have electric hook up and a Jackery portable power bank. But prefer not to pay for hook up. We could do with a cool box just for Milk, Bacon, cheese etc.. but there are so many on the market. Obviously some are very expensive including the Ninja and Igloo. Are there and alternatives or is it worth paying more?

They are much better than ordinary passive cool boxes. I have an Icey tek 18L

It keeps stuff cold for 4 days if everything goes in frozen, you pre-chill the box, and don't keep leaving it open. You can thrown on a bag of ice after a few days.

Icey Tek and Yeti are in lovely colours. Coleman Xtreme is also a premium passive cooler.

They are v good.

I asked similiar recently, ended up with a yellow icey tek - I love it! Works brilliantly

How many trips worth of hook up cost would you need to save before the coolbox pays for itself? I would just go for a pitch with a hook up. It's one less thing to pack then.

We have a yeti which is expensive but keeps things cold over that sort of time period.

I would still need to buy a fridge to use with the hook up? Campervan fridges are expensive and we don’t have space for one.

I have an igloo and it’s really good. Ice still intact after 2 day trip. Friends have the decathlon inflatable ice boxes which are also good. Make sure you have plenty of ice packs in there too to keep it cool
