best cooler

It ain't Coleman.

 

mine is 2 years old ...and still works great.. will freeze my tea in the summer with ac on..
some ppl have problems with them..

 

Again, really? Try the search function it works great.

 

I tried the search and I found this thread.

 

I'm running a Koolatron 40B (I think). Its the one that has a refrigeratoor door and light. So far I'm impressed and I give it a thumbs up. If you can find one at a Loves or Pilot, the price with rebate beats anything online. I paid over $200 with shipping on Amazon because I couldn't find any. Now I see them all the time go figure lol!

 

I have been using a Coleman for about 10 years, (grey cooler with white top) it will freeze my drinks too, when I use the AC, on really hot days I will buy a bag of ice and put it in large zip-lock bags and lay them on top of my food, never had any problems, if I did, most truckstops have replacement parts.

 

I used a Igloo Koolmate 36 all day every day for years. Carry spare power cord, spare fuses, and monitor it. I had one or 2 power cords melt and fuses pop during use.

I got one of those large digit indoor/outdoor digital thermometers. I put the outdoor probe inside the cooler so I could see quickly if the cooler stopped working before my food went bad.

I also got an AC adapter so I could run it in a hotel during layover and pre-cool the cooler while at home. Coolers are pretty good at keeping cold/frozen food cool. They suck rear-end at taking warm stuff and making it cool.

Also, practice changing the fuse on the truck fuse panel that protects the cab/sleeper 12 volt outlet. The cooler's fuse should blow first, and it does most of the time, but sometimes the truck power outlet fuse will pop.

 

the one from truckerfridge i think would be the best. i had a coleman and it kept melting the plug from the cooler had an igloo and the motor went out about every 2 months, i know have the fridge/ freezer that fits my truck and love it

 

any thing from walmart can be returned if it breaks
