I love having a freezer, it is nice to store meats when remote boondocking for a couple of weeks. Frozen vegies, chicken pot pies, maybe some shrimp to make a gumbo, I like to eat good when out and about.
 
Shrimp gumbo. Give me your exact coordinates and I’ll be there shortly.
 
Who is making shrimp gumbo? What time?
 
Hello! My plan will be a separate very small 12 volt unit and use it as a freezer. Under 300 dollars and wrap it with a blanket for a bit more insulation (leaving vents unobstructed). This would use minimal power as you are not in it all the time
 
I like the idea of using plastic water bottles to make daily ice and that way you can relegate a separate cooler for fridge duty. So a small freezer unit seems like a must. I just ordered a new Jackery 500 and a small fridge/freezer.
 
In my opinion the biggest advantage of having a freezer is that you can freeze your left overs.  That makes for a more varied diet.  Otherwise you have to eat up anything you cook before spoilage.
