About 10 years (!) ago I bought a very good fridge for camping based on the 
Peltier effect. It worked off the car battery. I doubt if this model is still
available, though. It would not just hold a six-pack more like a crate of wine!
(It was made in France). 

However, these days I think you can get 3-way fridges - car/line/gas. Check
out your best local camping shops, or post to rec.? what is there as camping
section?

My fridge was 'reversible' so in the summer you could keep stuff cold, and
in the winter, (or for barbeques) could keep stuff hot. Great!
