Which coolbox should we buy?

Hi,

My boyfriend and i are currently building a campervan, and we aren't sure which coolbox we should buy. We are going to travel to hotter and colder countries, and we want as much capacity as possible. These coolboxes are the only ones that fit into our cabinet (53/36/36 cm).

We want to buy one of these two coolboxes:

Compressor Koelbox - 12 L - Mini Koelkast - AC/DC - 12V-24V/100V-220V - Voor auto en... | bol

Koel Boks 25L - Koelbox Elektrisch 12V en 220V/230 Volt - Camping Koelkast voor Auto -... | bol

From what I’ve read, compressor coolers perform much better than thermoelectric ones, especially in warmer rooms, but the Heimer has more storage space.

Which one would you pick and why? Any experiences with thermoelectric vs compressor coolers would also be appreciated.

Hi, my bf and i are currently building our van. The van doesn't have any windows so the only daylight comes from the sliding hatch in the partition wall. It's really dark in the van now and we don't want to install campervan window. This reduces the stealth of the van.

We already ordered a Plusfan transparent (basically a Dutch/German brand Maxxfan air but better) so it let's as much natural light in as possible. This one will be placed besides the toilet en close to the kitchen.

We already have found two semi-flexible solarpanels, and together they are 600 W. Our Bluetti can connect up to 1000 W. We aren't really sure about the next two options:

Option 1: 1 Plusfan and 1 skylight above the bed. Then we have 2 solar panels. Also less stealth.

Option 2: 1 Plusfan, no skylight above the bed and three solar panels. Mayby more stealth and the Bluetti is charged faster.

What option is the best? Or do you have any insights for us?
