I am thinking of getting a car fridge.
Nothing spectacular maybe 10 - 14 litres but I have questions:-
1 Assuming it sits in the back, how much heat might this thing chuck out via the fan? My s124 doesn't have aircon. Will I get too hot? This is Russia at 35 degrees outside or inside for that matter.
2 I am leaning towards a proper compressor fridge but they are expensive. Is it worth it?
3 The cheaper peltier effect coolers don't seem to cool more than 25 degrees below ambient (which in Russia means 10 degrees max. Is this enough? Maybe not I think. Although these can be 12v/24v direct connection whereas the compressor ones need a rectifier for 240v and more cost.
4 I do not intend to leave the fridge plugged in except when the car is running and the alternator charging the battery.
Bascially it's for sandwiches and drinks.
So any advice or thoughts most welcome.
