I have always considered the necessity of a fridge. They are expensive, and in my view can lead to other gremlins to keep them running. Propane fridges are finicky and compressors can be expensive with the extra battery and solar. This said I have one and use it all the time!
Recently I spent 10 days driving and camping around Iceland in a Suzuki Jimny. It was not warm but not not overly cold. We managed to keep everything cool (including milk/yogurt and beer) in a card board box! This probably would not work as well for my annual trip to Baja - I get that
Ernest Hemmingway writes in Green Hills of Africa about the chop box and drinking warm beer out of green bottle. I think about that every time I have to stomach a warm beer.
I think it is Man rule #15 that says you cannot complain about a free beer. Just the temperature. I do like my beer cold.
For your reading enjoyment.
