The portable fridge seems nice, but where would you put it?  Not alot of real estate in back. Then again, I am toting two kids and a wife also. 


It takes up about 1/4 of that real estate while traveling. The volks I know who have them also have awnings, and put the unit outside while camped,
and on a small platform of some kind (I got a "pack" of rosewood interlocking platform pieces for my solar shower that would work well for this).
Almost all these units come with extension cords and some sort of floor fastening hardware. I haven't seen any of them traveling with their
children, but a couple do have kids they camp with. In a way, the more volks on a given trip, the more fridge space needed to support them.
What I've noticed, and they tell me is true, it becomes a piece of furniture that they use for meal prep, temp storage space while camped,
if they have it inside.
