In semi-recent times we've done a couple of road-trips where we stayed in budget accommodation along the way. During our "Big Loop" trip we took silicone ice cube trays and a container to store formed ice cubes. It was great to have ice for our drink bottles!
I thought to pack ice into our wide-mouthed thermoses for our Tin Can Bay trip earlier this year and have used the same approach since - as recently as our sunflower van adventure.
Our extended road trip will be in the Spacevan though, with limited freezer space available. I spotted these ice-maker bottles via a targeted ad - and then sourced the best available price.
Two arrived last week and we've tested them in the freezer at home, standing upright. According to the spiel, they are fully leak-proof, regardless of orientation (which seemed perfect for our purpose). They each make 16 nifty cubes and those should fit easily into a wide-mouth thermos, if we are short of freezer space and require easier access when driving. That's the theory, anyway!
