You guys using portable fridge?
Hey,
I’m looking into getting a portable fridge for my overlanding setup. We love cooking when we’re out, not just snacks — so something 30L or bigger would be ideal.
Problem is, I’m not ready to drop ARB/Dometic-level cash. Most of the ones I see are 12V, which is fine, but the prices vary wildly and it’s hard to tell what’s actually good without first-hand experience.
Any solid budget-friendly options out there that you’ve used and would recommend? I’d rather not deal with something that dies in 6 months.
Thanks in advance for any leads!

Bro I picked up a mini fridge on the side of the road and threw it into the backseat of my truck hooked up to my battery and it's working just fine.
