There are a number of self-contained propane powered fridges available. Do
you really want the heat and fumes contained in our very small Vanagons
though? They are also somewhat expensive.

When Mrs Squirrel come a-campin' we have to bring a separate cooler for her
produce and veggies. Me, alone, the Vitrifrigo in the van is sufficient.

What I'd like to find is a small, standalone propane refrigerator that will
operate off those small 1-lb disposable propane bottles. Something as
movable as a cooler, so we can set it outside when in camp.
