If i was you i would get the cheapest one you can find with the highest current rating. It will eventually burn out so you don’t want to spending much.
At the end of the day a VSR is no more than just a relay in a fancy box with the connections marked up to make installation easier there is nothing “smart” or “intelligent about them. All relays sense voltage and engage.KS
Looking quickly at the specs
Looking quickly at the specs for those coolboxes and your possible choice of using a split charge relay type system to charge your lesuire battery you will get about 20 hours of life from your battery just running the coolbox off it.
Any dual/triple way type cool boxers or fridges are always high on current draw when on 12volts. So you would be wise to only use it whilst the engine is running.
When deciding on what choice of charging system to use you need to first work out your expected power requiremnts (P=IV) then you need to think about how long you are likely to be stationary for with no charge going into your batteries. Decide on a battery capacity and then decide which charging system best suits your needs and budgets.
There are many different types out these some are cheap and cheerful and some are expensive. You get what you pay for usually but not everyone needs an expensive system.KS

Cutting out the windows. Disc
Cutting out the windows. Disc wise make sure you get one of the plasma discs. They are almost wafer thin, no more than 1mm. They will slice through the metal like butter without introducing too much heat.
And don’t forget to paint the cut edge too else it will rust later.

KSAll of the extra windows i
All of the extra windows i have fitted to my van are bonded in with sikaflex. Do not take his advice and screw the windows in place as this will be the source for many leaks to come. If you can remove the plastic windows from the frame you will be able to clamp the frame in place whilst the sikaflex goes off. If not then straps around your van with some pieces of 4×2 on your window should give the compression you need whilst the sika goes off.KS

You are having a laugh yes?
You are having a laugh yes? Temperatures of near 30 degrees during the day and 15 at night and your worried about heating in a small van with at least 4 people in it. If i was you i’d be getting a fan to cool things down.KS
