Ive heard they work well with very low draw on your
battery. They say you can leave them on while parked
for a full day without drainng your battery but this
could have been infomercial hype.

I have been wondering if the cooling element could be
ripped out of this coleman cooler and fitted to the
inside of our westy fridges. It would be a cheap fix
or
modification
