Just wondering if anyone ever puts a frozen ice pack in your 12 volt fridge.

Having a block of frozen ice pack in the fridge may let the fridge cycle less is my thought.

I rotate the frozen packs from my CSI freezer/fridge to my roto-molded cooler. There is a separate refrigerator compartment also. Worked good on a ten day trip to the Ozarks last fall.

My Jeep has the smaller battery under the main starter battery for running lights and electronics during the auto start stop feature. I do have a battery pack that I plug my ARB fridge into while at camp. Just came back from a 2 night trip with battery power to spare.

Now we are headed out on a 4 night trip and I have a feeling the battery won't last. We are planning on resupply half way through, but I think I need to start looking at solar options. Thanks for the replies.
