Preserve Ice, Beverages and Food
Portable ice chests come in all kinds of designs and the Patrol 35 from Dometic is built with thick PU insulation, which according to the company can keep ice frozen for days, a robust deep-freeze lid to ensure an air-tight seal and one-piece rotomolded PE construction for reliability. It has a depth of 41 cm (16.3 in), height of 39 cm (15.3 in) and width of 69 cm (27.2 in), making it easy to fit most RV storage spaces or stow in the back of a tow vehicle.
