Truck coolers that keep ice?

I've been using the Coleman 12V in the truck but I'm on my second in six months. This one is the updated model with large heat sink visible through the grill. I'll see how it goes.

My fishing experience with coolers: Yeti is probably the best at keeping ice even in hot temps in the open. A little more expensive but as always, you get what you pay for.

 

wonder why they cant make a plug that doesent melt ?

 

When you buy the Coleman cooler it comes with an A/C adapter that you can plug into your invertor. That will prevent the cord from melting. We have the Igloo too in our truck.....we unplug both coolers when we're gone from the truck for a long period. Coleman we use for our food and the Igloo for our drinks. Buy them through Wal-Mart with the warranty. That way you can get a new one if they break. Wal-Mart makes it easy to exchange your old one for a new one.

 

Pricey, but well worth it:

Plug stays cool, quiet, and doesn't drain your batteries even over a week at home.

mmm sorry gotta disagree there... Got my cooler at Wal-Mart and when it stopped, Wally said I had to contact Coleman for the warranty. They were no help at all for me.

Bought the next one at Pilot, used points for discount, kept all paperwork and box and found that there was a $20 mail-in rebate on the receipt. Hope I don't need to use the warranty.

 

BobTrucks, sorry I should have made it clear. When I said warranty I meant the warranty Wal-Mart sells at the register. It costs like $3. If the cooler stops working then just call the number Wal-Mart gives you and then they'll email you a shipping label. Visit your nearest UPS and ship it back to them then Wal-Mart will email you a E-Card that you can use to buy a new cooler. I highly recommend everyone use the A/C adapter that comes with the cooler, it will prevent all this hassle.
