Product Information

This 45L cooler is a fairly small, compact overall package, making it easier for one person to pick up. I don't have a 12V socket in the back of my truck (yet) so I had to use the one located waaay up front in the dash. I measured actual temps in the fridge with a good freezer thermometer located dead center of the volume.

Every visible piece is some sort of plastic (with the exception of the narrow rubber seal underneath the lid), but a plastic that, compared to other similar models, feels less sturdy and less durable. F. We don't have much faith that this unit can keep things frozen when it's truly hot outside — and in fact, we read numerous other testimonials saying exactly that.The camper is fully insulated so we can go camping in pretty much any weather condition and we go on longer trips.

All in all, though, when we consider that this model uses an average amount of energy to not get as cold as the competition, it begins to seem less impressive.

Ice creams on long summer journeys stuck in traffic with ice waiting for drinks when you arrive is a game changer. The display itself goes to sleep after a minute or so and only comes on if you press one of the power buttons (AC, DC, or light).We took the furthest in of the RIGHT side of the "fork tooth" camp site spot, which was right at the trailhead bridge. LOL I have 4 young kids now so these days we go camping in the camper that I built with 300w of solar power, 100ah lithium battery to power all the lights/laptops/fridge, and we have a hot shower system for outdoor showers. As for the noise and fume of the generator, it's as quite as a car idling and I have a 50ft extension cord.

I kept a blanket on top top the fridge just to give it a little extra insulation to stave off the heat in the truck. Since I deleted my truck's third row of seating, I will be repurposing its power seat controls - two 15 amp circuits that are always powered! The latch and hinges in particular are a bit clunky and thin, not inspiring a ton of confidence in its ability to withstand years of hard use. I ended up getting a 12v extension which has a shorter input lead that stays in my 12v plugs in the van while travelling.

The truck was parked in full sun the entire time (we were on an exposed granite slab with no shade). However, they end up doing nothing — the cooler is already more than tall enough inside to accommodate such items and if you're instead trying to stack a bunch of cans inside, those indents make it awkward to keep them standing as you go along. The bright display screen shows lots of information, including some battery-monitoring information that we appreciate. But it still does a decent job for casual use, weighs less than most others, and just might be the right fit for your lowkey use and modest budget.
