I just picked one of these: http://www.compactappliance.com/FP630-Spacious-EdgeStar-Portable-Refrigerator-Freezer/FP630,default,pd.html up. It was expensive, but I'm hoping it is worth the cost.

If anyone is interested in one of these, it's currently on-sale for $549.

I don't keep food in my tear drop. I have no galley.

I keep my food cold in a cooler, normally on the trailer tongue (for transport) .. so being OUTSIDE it is not IN my TD.

Several have commented about the lack of trays in modern coolers. I acquired several disposable hospital basins (you know the pink thin plastic ones), and find they are excellent for use as food "boats" in my cooler.

I make my own ice in milk jugs, but when those are melted, I have to use loose ice in the bottom of the cooler, and that's when my food boats come in handy. They don't rest on the edge of the cooler at all, just float on top of the ice and water.

Mine is an 85 qt. Since I don't have a TD, I have room for the biggy. Mine has the name "Whynter" on it but is made by the same company (in China).

I use a Coleman Extreme 5 day cooler. In the future I'll likely get one of the 12VDC powered compressor based coolers. The other cooler I've considered is a Yeti bear proof one. I also have a thermoelectric cooler. They are only good for drinks, and on a warm day barely good at that.
