We’ve all been in one of those camping situations where we wish we could have packed some extra home comforts.

Certain luxury’s which aren’t normally available when you’re on the road…or indeed in the middle of a field, are actually more accessible than you might think!

A cold drink for instance; even the most hardened lovers of the Great Outdoors sometimes long for a chilled beer or a frosty fizzy drink but all too often what we do get is a warm, flat nightmare!

Not if you plan ahead and get yourself and electric coolbox!  Electric coolboxes are available in various capacities from as little as 8 litres to more than 40 litres!

If there’s a gang of you off on a camping or fishing trip then you might want to consider a larger size in order to make sure you have enough space for all the cold drinks you require!

Not only is an electric coolbox suited for keeping your drinks cool, you can also use them for food. In fact some of these electric coolboxes are so powerful that you can even keep frozen food in that state for long car journeys.

Many users report that it is best to chill food or drinks prior to using an electric coolbox in order to ensure maximum cooling.

Most electric coolboxes work from a vehicles cigarette lighter and some also come equipped with a mains plug to enable home use in the event of a refrigerator breakdown.

Sometimes retailing for under £100 pounds, a 40 litre electric coolbox can contain up to 46 standard 330ml cans and some boast high lids with extra capacity within for wine bottles.

Not only is an electric coolbox fabulous for camping, but also for days out with the family. If you have young children what better way to keep baby’s bottles fresh? The days of warm, limp salad are long gone with an electric coolbox and dishes which previously were no-go zones for days out are now possible. Salads, cold meats and even fish dishes should be perfectly safe to consume even after a long car trip!

Most good models will provide refrigerated air at a temperature between 18 and 22 degrees C below the surrounding temperature which is ample to keep food and drinks fresher than fresh.

You don’t have to invest in a large electric coolbox though; in fact for some of us a smaller model is perfect for our needs. Smaller models can cost as little as £30.00 for a nice compact 8 litre capacity which will hold your basic essential goods needed for a car trip or picnic.

A small electric coolbox will be just as successful and work in the same way as a medium or larger sized model.

Take a look at what’s on offer and you’ll be sure to find your perfect electric coolbox. Warm beer and soggy sandwiches will be a thing of the past…and with summer coming that’s got to be a good thing!
