Anyone using a chest type freezer in a 2860DS or other sunseeker MH?

Anyone using a chest type freezer in a 2860DS or other sunseeker MH? Like a Costco dansby, igloo, haier type 5.1 or 7.1 CF chest freezer. They are just about the right size to get inside the MH but have never tried as they weigh almost 100#.
We go fishing in Canada and need a freezer, Its a cinch with a pickup but not with the MH towing a car and we have to have a freezer

I searched on here but couldn't find links. If you know of threads on FR Forums please let me know.
Thanks

Hoglou,
thanks, We have an icemaker in our fridge.. I need a bigger 5 to 7 cf to put salmon and crab in and for bags of ice. I will take it out when we get to our camping spot. I should have been clear. the question is how hard is it to get in and out of the camper. we always have to load/unload a 7.1 to get into the back of a pickup, so that's a given. the 7.1 weighs right at 100# and the 5.1 about 25# less. We won't be loading or unloading a lot but the bulkiness of the size will make it a little hard for a couple of seniors to get thru the door and then maneuver inside. I don't have an empty one right now to give it a try LOL
Thanks

We use and Engle unit, Have had it for many years. Probabally have been drug around with us 25,000 mile or so. It is a 2 way unit, 12V or 120. It switches automatically depending on what you are using, the 12 v is a very low amp draw. Used it for 2 months in Alaska on just the 12v.
