If it is only one night what is wrong with a good old fashioned Cool Box and a couple of ice packs, would certainly do the Job........ :y :y

If you want a real fridge/freezer to run with the car not running then you need a Gas one, and that will cost a bob or two for one night.... :) :)

Gas fridges at £160 in go outdoors normally, but sounds overkill for one night.

Coolbox and icepacks should do fine.

TBH i doubt if that power pack will run that coolbox for more than a few hours.....12v coolboxes are power hungry imo for the cooling that they do.....well actually they seem to keep cold food cool....but dont really doing any real chilling.....and for a power consumption of about 60W.

As others have said, i think for one night, a coolbox with several ice blocks would suffice  :y

......

Our overflow caravan beer fridge is one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TRISTAR-25-DEGREES-THREE-3-WAY-COOLER-CAMPING-FRIDGE-/200595376774?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2eb46a8a86#ht_888wt_952 bought for its 45 litre capacity while away in the caravan. Never had the need to use it on gas yet though. It's too big to fit in the Omega's boot though ..... a bit of an oversight when we bought it!  ::) ::)

we have similar....fits fine in the estate, and works beautifully of 12, 240, or gas.

even makes ice cubes while camping....great in a fruit based drink for the ladies.
