somewhere out there is an article on converting a freezer into a fridge just by using a thermostat to switch it on ond off at around 5 degrees C.
I think he said, if i remember correctly, it comes on for around 5 minutes a day. might be longer if you are in a hot climate but worth checking out. if you have power when using the engine you could use it to freeze some plastic bottles of salty water to use as a cold store. you need the top loading type freezers not the front loading ones or all the cold air will fall out every time you open the door.
good luck
