When we go to France and the fridge is off for the ferry trip the fridge warms up, what we do is freeze a couple of 4 pint milk bottles with water, not only does this keep the fridge cool but also we have fresh cold water when we arrive in the lovely warm
French weather

Get hold of some ice cube trays, the ones that make really large cubes (as were issued with 'fridges in the 60s and 70s). You dont need many, as once milk is frozen you tip the cubes into a bag or box and freeze some more untill you have as much as you need.
An alternative mould is to use the small round containers in which the supermarket sells you pre-packed houmous, rollmop herring, etc. I often make up an assortment of sizes as somtimes one needs more milk than others.

We do it all the time both at home and take them away in the caravan fridge. We find it keeps the fridge cold on overnight crossings and keeps us in fresh milk for about the first week of a trip. The plastic bottles do expand and have split on occasion so we stand ours in polythene bags just in case.
When we are abroad and temperature is hiotting the 30s I take some bottles of water when going to the beach etc. I don't have them quite full (pour a drop out) and squeeze them slightly when closing the top to remove some air and leave room for expansion.
Obviously on the beach we might leave one wrapped in a towel andexpose amother to some heat so that it partially melts so we always have chilled water and no split botles or caps pushed off. Shoul work for milk
