    Not sure in cubic feet, about 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet outside. Fits well on seat. I currently have gallon of fruit juice, 6 cans of soda, lettuce, cheese, lunch meat, mayo, candy, bread and a salami in there. Stays nice and cold and doesn't drain the battery overnight. It comes with a 110v cord and a 12v cord, the 12 volt cord got pinched and damaged so I run it on my 600 watt inverter along with my cell charger, tv and computer. Have inverter plugged into lighter socket, not direct wired. Whole combo been working fine for more than two years.

    I have the Black and Decker frig and a microwave from Walmart. I've had both for two months and they are working fine. I'm saving hella money out here. I just go to Walmart and stick-up.

    I'm using a Coleman, I took the lighter plug off and hook the wires to a positive and negative post, that works better for me, the power point is fused.

    I ran one for quite awhile, and still have that one , but it needs a motor. I bought one of the Koolatron hybrids, and it worked good, but it leaked the freon and quit working, no way to repair, so we sent it in and they sent another. That one and the new one were made in China. If I were going longer between stops, I would put the new one in, but it's not needed now.

    My friend now working for a different company, bought a BD from Wal-Mart and it didn't last 2 weeks, even the 12 volt built ins get hammered to death and quit working in a truck. One of the company trucks purchased with one had quit working, that guy bought a Coleman,the 2nd one needed replacing and I'll ask about the 3rd one.

    Friend is out about a week at a time and uses a 5 day ice chest and freezes bottled water to keep it cool. I'm home more than I'm out, for the most part now, so I don't keep everything with me anymore.
