[Rhodes22-list] icebox

Re: refrigerator:
   
  I have one of the Coleman thermo-electric from Wally's...they are good IF...you use the 120v. charger & run it o/nite to get it cool...then put COLD stuff in it.....it will keep it cold. Putting a bag of ice  or freezer packs will help the initial cool-down...

  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.
