Why not post up the contact info for the vendor. And, I'm too interested in exactly what model you got.

x2 ... I have a generator now, so will be looking to get a cheap used deep freeze and throw it in the back of a trailer. Should work really well.
Used deep freeze units can be had for dirt cheap - Of course, they are not compact like the portable ones on the first page.
These are the two units i purchased. I will link below. I reached out to them via email and received a 5% discount. They used to be a sponsor on this site also i found. Super easy to deal with.

Did the first weekend adventure with the new set up and it didnt disappoint! Didnt buy ice for the beers and it kept them frosty all weekend long along with all the food! If i can figure out how to post some pics with the new computer i will!
I've been using a Bougerv electric cooler for a few years now and I'm very happy with it. It's kept my food and drinks cold even in the hottest weather. I also like that it's more spacious than my old ice cooler since I don't have to pack ice.
I picked up a small chest style cooler/freezer, put it in the trailer, and ran it off a small generator on my moose hunt this year. Put all the frozen food in it and it stayed frozen in the stupid 30+ degree heat we had at the end of Sept early Oct. The plan was to switch it to cooler mode if/when we got an animal. Unfortunately didn't get to try it out that way. Sure took away any anxiety about our food thawing out.

I love my budget-friendly options, and the BougeRV portable electric coolers has been a solid choice for me. It's not the most feature-packed, but it gets the job done for weekend camping trips and picnics. It's super portable and easy to store, and it cools down quickly. I usually pair it with a solar panel to keep it charged off-grid, and it works like a charm.
I had a Whynter cooler/freezer in the back seat of my pickup for years and worked great, until it got too hot in the cab and then it couldnt keep up and would drain the battery fast. I concluded I needed better ventilation but was definitely handy for longer trips where ice would melt fast. As far as freezing an animal when you're hunting, that freezer would take forever and would recommend the generator/AC freezer option like others have stated
