I've have thought one of those would drain the battery in no time. You can get gas ones, but if you camp on sites then you can get a normal cool box and simply swap the ice packs each morning, although a couple of them they'd probably last 2 days at a stretch.

Don't bin it - they're easy to fix and expensive to replace. If you can't be bothered with it, I'm sure there's someone on here who will...
