This is more "bike adjacent" since I am buying it for the MORE Fall Campout at Big Bear Lake in WV next week. I've been wanting a 12V cooler/freezer for quite a while. I've looked at the fancy ones like Dometic that sell for $$$$, but as typical for me, I procrastinated and now I want something that will (hopefully) arrive in time. Off to the River Site I go... and find this one for $269:

Fingers crossed it does the job.

The pricing on that looks nice. I've been looking at the BougeRV ones and it's hard to spend that $$ on something I'll hardly use 50 weeks out of the year.

Post up how it works out.

Will do. My plan is to use the 120V adapter to get it down to temp in the house before I pack up to leave and then use the 12V plug to keep it at temp during the 5-hour drive to WV, which "should" keep the power draw low. Once there, I'll have power to then plug it into 120V again. Typically, a unit like this draws the most power getting down to temperature but then doesn't draw much to stay there.

That's an excellent idea. I usually plug in my camper using shore power 48hrs before a trip allowing the refrigerator/freezer to cool. Freezing some food items prior to the trip and placing them in the refrigerator to thaw helps too. Freezing bottled water and putting them in there works the same and you have backup fresh water.

Thanks. I have to admit, I was really tempted to grab your NuCamp trailer, but I'm still not super-confident my minivan can comfortably tow it. Plus, I have no place to park it.

...and $6+/gal diesel has me waffling even more about rebuilding the White Whale E350 into a camper... at least for now. So I'll muddle through one more camping trip with the minivan. Although one concession I'm making for this trip is I'll put the bikes on the rack instead of inside like I usually do, which should make packing for the trip a hell of a lot easier.

Nucamp is still available. While some people do tow with a minivan, I don't think I would.

Thanks I've always loved that chameleon color that changes from every angle. I know I'll catch heat for it from someone but its a direct from China Winow frame and I have a mix of ultegra and dura ace di2 thats going onto it.

I have been looking at some of the China rim bike frames bc I cracked my frame and repaired it but still looking for a frame. I will check that brand out. Thanks, for the information. I have built to bikes up for from frames a gravel and a hardtail MTB. Definitely fun.
