Really grateful Gerry, I do tend to read back through old posts on here and you always make a really positive contribution. On the whole it's an extremely helpful forum I agree, and it's very nice to see a good level of input from everyone involved.
You know I'm now going to be looking for a bed chair cover

When looking at them also worth considering the weight and bulkyness. Having used numerous cheap cool boxes I bought an icey tek last year. Keeps everything super cold for long periods, but is very heavy and bulky.

Very true, I keep looking at 'proper' cool boxes but they all seem too big for me, so I lined the inside of a cheap one with 12mm Kingspan, more than doubled the time it'll keep stuff frozen.

Has anyone used the soft cool-box's such as yeti or the korda, as these look lighter and less bulky.

Cool bags are nowhere near as efficient as solid cool boxes

Any technically minded chaps out there. Trying to work out if I can use a leisure battery to power an electric cool box. The numbers I have come up with are thusly.
Using a 12 volt DC supply from a battery with a required power
Input of 47W I come up with an ampage of 3.9A. So running the unit for 1 hour will need 3.9 Ah and running it for 24 hours will require 93.6Ah.
Please tell me I'm completely wrong as it seems a lot of power for a small electric motor. Way out of my depth here.

No idea about the numbers but a mate used to run his from a leisure battery, but it didnt last long at all. The box was only a cheapy thing from Halfords and wasn't very good either

Alas your calculations are right. Leisure batteries are no good, better off with a decent coolbox tbh.
There is a good thread below

Yes. It's not looking promising. Will probably have to stick with the Iceytec. Maybe a combination of both for longer sessions which I finally have the opportunity to do.

Many thanks mate, I feared it was so. Will stick with my Iceytec.
