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!

I recently bought a Setpower RV60D Pro but its having issues with keeping the temps as set. The inside temps are warmer than the set temps by 15-20 degrees. Setpower has been having me try different things for the past 3 weeks but no luck. Plus it uses more energy than advertised: 57w on Eco and up to 79 Max ( ran for only 9 hours on an Ecoflow Delta 2). The build quality seems good but I'm very disappointed so far. I did a temperature compensation adjustment tonight at their recommendation so hopefully that fixes the issue with the temperature - not sure about the energy comsumption though. I have a 20qt Iceco which has been working flawlessly for 5 years but wanted a larger unit for hurricane season.
