Best Portable Freezer???
I am in need of a 12 volt freezer for a two week cruise. My main freezer is down and I intend to install a larger, better insulated unit while on the hard this winter. In the meantime, I am looking for a low amp portable unit to do a two week cruise at the end of August. I could use it later on to supplement or use it on road trips in my car. Anyone have ideas as to the best one that is efficient, cold and a low power user?
