I have a Dometic one and it's brilliant. Had it for about 10 years now I think. Actually using it now and been fishing since Sunday morning. It's best if you plug it in at home to chill it down before you go but it will chill down straight from the gas bottle but I'd say it's a struggle. I've had ice packs and some frozen bait in there since Sunday and just been back to my van to get some more bait and food and the ice packs and bait are still frozen
If you have it on the bank with you like I've done before then try and keep it in the shade as I think they work on the outside temperature or something like that? So if it's in the back of your van it will be really cold inside but if you have it in the sun on a hot day then not so much, but guess that's just common sense lol

If you pack properly then igloo will keep stuff frozen for 5 days and then cool for another couple

Mobicool FR40 and 90Ah leisure battery. Adjustable down to freezing and good for 4 days without hookup. Never used mine for fishing, but would on a trip abroad.

I'll second the Dometic - approx 30 Litre capacity. Had mine since 2004 and its still going fine.
It can run on Mains, Car battery (via Cigarette Lighter), and Gas (screw-top cannisters)
As already mentioned, start it off on the Mains at home. I also connect it up in the car for the trip to the lake.
Another tip is to try and minimise the number of times you open it or else you undo all the benefits.
With a 500g gas canister the fridge can last 3 days - just over 2 if you are running it on Max ...

Purely for camping 4 days tops. I only do overnighters so not needed for my fishing.
