Cool Boxes... Anybody have one and how do you like it?

Been kicking around purchasing a Dometic dual zone cool box (Waeco Compressor) unit for the backseat of the pickup and for the wife to keep refrigerated foods in when she's going shopping to keep them...

The peltier models are surpassed by the compressor boxes. The Danfoss compressor is arguably the best compressor. Engel has a solid track record, quality boxes.

I have a small 120V dorm fridge in my TT. It will stay surprisingly cool for a long time,especially if loaded with chilled food and liquids. When operating at 80W, it has a 4:1 duty cycle at 80f (leaving the door closed). When transporting, it is powered by an inverter and the TT's batteries. Batteries are charged by a solar panel.
