I ended up getting a 12v extension which has a shorter input lead that stays in my 12v plugs in the van while travelling.

This 45L cooler is a fairly small, compact overall package, making it easier for one person to pick up. The truck was parked in full sun the entire time (we were on an exposed granite slab with no shade).

Despite its less than stellar temperature control performance, when it comes to insulation, the Alpicool actually performs above average among its competitors. The bright display screen shows lots of information, including some battery-monitoring information that we appreciate.

SO needs vary, and level of convenience that can take out the camping part of enjoying the outdoors, can also creep in easily.

All in all, though, when we consider that this model uses an average amount of energy to not get as cold as the competition, it begins to seem less impressive. We took the furthest in of the RIGHT side of the "fork tooth" camp site spot, which was right at the trailhead bridge.

On top of the lid, four indented circles give you spaces for setting your drink(s) while using it as a table.The display itself goes to sleep after a minute or so and only comes on if you press one of the power buttons (AC, DC, or light). F. We don't have much faith that this unit can keep things frozen when it's truly hot outside — and in fact, we read numerous other testimonials saying exactly that. It's not our favorite of the bunch but it still has plenty to offer for much less than most of the competition.

The back portion of the cooler isn't any colder, yet is separated from the rest of the internal space. F. This may also be helped by its particularly tall, narrow shape and lower overall surface area, giving it less space from which to take on heat. Curious to know if anyone is running any new fridge/freezer options in their rigs other than the big names such as ARB, Dometic, and Engel?

The fridge's app is not terrible, not great, but I found the app display would freeze up at times (har har) and needed to be unpaired and then re-paired to the fridge.
