I don't know of any ice chests that keeps frozen food frozen for 1 or 2 weeks.
Now throw in traveling all day 8-14 hrs in 100-110 degree heat at 55-65 mph.
Ice chests/ice boxes ??
Ice box is what we had in campers before elect/lp fridge hit the market. Buying block ice was the norm for keeping things cool but not frozen.
Folks up north or in the high country may get by without a freezer but down here the lp fridge/freezer is the only way to keep foods frozen in the summer time on long trips.
Our 1st LP/elect fridge came in a '84 Aljo and the Fridge makers advertised using it on LP to keep thing frozen. Several rv's and many years later we still travel with the LP on.
This topic always brings out funny excuses. Everyone has their own reasons for doing it their way.
