Isabella Compressor cool box

Price £320

Heading off for a weekend escape, road trip or camping adventure? This tough, 40-litre compressor cool box might be your ideal travel mate. It chills food and drinks quickly and quietly (≤38dB), keeping everything refreshingly cool wherever you go.

The adjustable temperature range from -20°C to +20°C means you can freeze or refrigerate as needed, while Eco and Max modes balance efficiency and speed. Power it via 12/24V in your motorhome or 230V at home - both cables are supplied. With three levels of battery protection, your vehicle's power stays safe, while the child lock prevents accidental adjustments.

A useful divider creates two compartments, and you can manage everything via the clear display or the Tuya Smart Life smartphone app.

EcoFlow DELTA PRO 3

Price £2150

If you enjoy serious off-grid adventures, take a look at this powerhouse all-in-one battery/inverter. Whether you're bound for the Scottish islands or Morocco, it should help ensure you have the power you need to use modern-day conveniences.

It'll run your induction hob, fire up the microwave, charge phones and laptops, help you stay connected via Starlink or cellular, or even power an EcoFlow Wave 3 heater/air-conditioner.

You can recharge it via mains power, EV charging stations, an EcoFlow Alternator Charger, or with solar panels (fixed or portable).

Energian, a London-based specialist distributor of EcoFlow and other off-grid brands, offers support six days a week by phone and email, and seven days via web chat, too.
