Small Freezer
Robert Mathis:
John, we are in Alaska right now, and I bought a 5 cu ft freezer when I got here to store our fish. It was purchased at Fred Meyer, but they have them at Walmart, Costco, etc. the cost was $165 or so. I just moved the chair around and put it on the living room slide. When we get home, I'll just take it out until we need it again. The nice thing about a chest freezer is that it will stay cold all day without power, if you don't open it.
George H. Wall:
During travel, just turn on the inverter and the engine will keep it working with no problem. The fuller the freezer is, the more it will keep temperature!! Henry
Joel Ashley:
That Haier 5 cubic foot freezer is on sale now at Fred Meyer for $169.99 through Aug 3rd.
John Padmore:

Each store should have some in stock. I retired from their Clackamas warehouse, and if they are out at a store, they should be able to get them in within a couple days, depending on the normal truck schedule for a particular store. Alaska stores go mostly by Hanjin container shipping (by sea), so that takes much longer, but Alaska stores stock more to begin with, especially re. freezers and such with fishing season at full tilt. My nephew bought one in Idaho and replaced a chair space at his 5th wheel's dinette with it, then headed for Soldotna. In 2003 it cost us about $1/lb. for two Coleman coolers to be shipped dry-iced on Alaska Airlines with us from Anchorage to Seattle. I think each cooler held 50 lbs of halibut and sockeye. It's much more costly than that now, I'm sure, so having your own FoodSaver vacuum unit and freezer is a good investment, if you have the room. And you can have more fun catching more fish to begin with ;D .
I would look up that unit's dimensions first to make sure it will fit where you want it to. Perhaps Robert can give you the numbers.
