[Rhodes22-list] icebox

[Bud Connor]

I like the idea of a new 120v or 120v/12v refrigerator.  Two that I will
take a closer look at are the Coleman (thermo-electric) mentioned by 
Jerry Lowe
and a 2.7cubic ft Haier (standard refrigerator).  Both are reasonably 
priced at Walmart.
I have never used my icebox as such any ways, only for dry storage.
