    If you want a good dependable fridge, get a Engle. These are used in harsh conditions that make trucking look like first class travel. They are not cheap but if you think spending 200 a year on replacing coolers or what ever, then it is a consideration.

    I wish my company would let us use bigger than a 300w invertor.

    I bought one of the lunchbox style heaters at Pilot. It will heat up a Dinte Moore meal in 20 minutes to piping hot. Next time I'm home, I'm going to make some stew and other things to bring with me.

    few days. Depends of battery freshness, terminal conditions, etc.

    I have been using a Koolatron fridge for several years now. Kind of expensive but works great. Won't kill the battery if left on overnight and just about right for being out two or three weeks for me. I stock up at Costco and Walmart and generally eat pretty well for about $5 to $8 dollars a day.
