Fred Younger says he owns a non-westie and is pained by going into town to
buy ice every couple of days.

I am a 86 GL weekender owner and a regular van camper.  A few years back I
bought a portable Dometic 3-way refrigerator which works great and has
ended the problem of melted ice-water in the food.  I can now stay in
quiet, serene places for extended periods.  If I am going to be parked for
more than 4 hours, I switch from my 12-volt marine battery to propane or
110 vac if available.  A small propane canister will run the unit for 2 to
2.5 days.  Since it is a top-loader, it is very efficient even in the
desert.  It can freeze your orange juice overnight if you forget to turn
the thermostat up from max cool.

Keep on camping -- Frank LaHorgue
