12V cooler

[2rocky]

One of the upgrades I'm making to my "Sleeping Quarters" in my horse trailer is going to be adding a portable 12v cooler to my camping gear, running off of the power station I built from a LiPO4 100Ah battery. It will reside under the foldable step that will serve as a step into the gooseneck portion, camp stool and mounting block.



I'm looking for economical brands and models of 12 v that will fit within the footprint more or less under the above footstool. So under 38-39 inches long, under 18 inches tall, and not much wider than 15-16 inches

What brands and sizes will fit under this this ? Any of them Dual zone with freezer and Refrigerator zones?

I’ve had this one, purchased off amazon for the past 3 years:

EUHOMY 12 Volt Refrigerator, 47QT Electric Cooler, 12V Fridge APP Control, 12V Cooler -4℉~68℉, Portable Freezer 12/24V DC 110-240V AC for Camping, Travel, Truck, Home https://a.co/d/85BgmAi

I am impressed. No need for ice is a real game changer. My wife and I are able to put 3 days worth of fresh food into it and go 100% off-grid camping with no problems. Couple steaks, chicken, fresh pasta and pasta sauce, fruit, eggs, lunch meat… we eat well when we go camping.

I have a couple of large Yeti-coolers that go unused now - the e-coolers are just plain that good.

The one I have is a dual zone. We made ice cubes on one side and kept all the other food on the large side. On other trips we’ve just used the whole thing as a single zone style. It’s nice to be able to use it both ways.

Final note: the model we got came with both 12v and 110v adapters. Which rocks. Plug it in at home on 110, let it get fully cold a day or two before a trip…fill it with food and let everything stabilize overnight and it draws even less juice plugging it in.

Anyway, huge fan of the e-coolers and the Euhomy brand has worked great for me over the past 3 years.

Ask an 18 wheeler driver. You'll get a lot of different answers, but you'll find info and reviews by the actual users. When my dad drove he had one that sat upright and had a large door like a fridge. But, truckers will have opinions and recommendations.

I have an iceco. Had it for about 3 years now. Used it a ton. I have a duel zone. Recharges with a solar panel. Still kicking butt.
