    I just bought an Alpicool for her Jeep. I have a big Truckfridge chest fridge in my pick up truck back seat. Since 12 dc fridges have become popular I pretty much have one in everything I own. We like to take our own cold food and drinks when we travel, even comes in handy when she goes to the grocery store. I have extra batteries on most of my vehicles too.

    For anyone that's interested in 12v fridges there are lots and lots of makes nowadays:
    ARB
    Engel
    National Luna
    Alpicool
    Domende
    IceCo
    Truckfridge
    Dometic
    IndelB
    Vitrifrigo
    Bodega
    BougeRV
    Norcold
    Whynter
    Isotherm

    The list goes on. New no name China ones on Amazon everyday. If you are willing to pay a little more than the cheap knock offs (which I linked below) look for one with a Danfoss/Secop compressor.

    Here's the one I just got. It's a rebranded Alpicool. Works awesome as freezer or fridge and I shopped for a long time to find the biggest one with lowest price that still had good reviews. This thing even has a bluetooth app for you phone where you can turn it on/off and adjust it without being right by it.

    Yeah, I don't know why I geek out on these things but I guess I do.

    I’d go with COSTCO too because I’ve never seen anything COSTCO won’t return if it piles up.

    Bought this one. Do t use it in truck since I am home every day. Use it on my Yukon and rv. It operates on 12 or 110. It blue tooth connects to your phone. Has a battery protect setting. Will work as cooler or fridge.

    I always get one with separate freezer. I like ice cream cups and the dedicated freezer works. Great. Got it at Lowe's about 150.00
