    FYI, I have used a 12v cooler in trucks for 17 years now. I can not eat food at restaurants. Right now I am using a koolatron. 1) as long as it is not shut off, 1 gallon of milk will stay good during the late spring. I was running it in Iowa and the ambient air was 85. At night it cooled down to low 70s. I ran it all night, from 5 at night to 6 in the morning with the truck off, now problem starting. 2) It will freeze in the winter, but it will not keep things frozen.

    Yep, sounds accurate for one of the electronic chip heat exchange/transfer types. How well it works (or not) is all determined by the temperature of the "room" it is in.

    If you want to make it work a lot better in the hotter climates build the duct thing I described above from the truck A/C. It will help a lot.

    I have the 2.1 from Walmart
    Has a freezer
    59 bucks
    Ran great on a 1300 but I have a 2500 now
    I talked to a guy last week who has a small deep freeze that runs through the lighter
    He swears it works great
    He got it on Amazon for 400 bucks

    17 years for most anything (especially a refrigerator!) in an OTR truck to last and still be function is outstanding!
