The water bottle to cooler connection seems to me to be the tricky part to keep solid. A five-gallon water bottle is a relatively heavy weight to have perched on top of a plastic housing, and would cause some significant stresses when going around corners etc. Possibly if you devised some good solid means of holding the water bottle in position it would work reasonably. I am not sure I would want to chance it myself. (Even better might be having a separate mount for the bottle and rigging up some sort of a hose arrangement to connect to the cooler, so that the two are completely disconnected mechanically. You still have to figure out how to hold a five gallon bottle of water securely, of course.)
Does this cooler require 120VAC to dispense, or are the taps mechanical? If you need electricity, bear in mind that you'll need to run an inverter (presumably capable of powering the cooler and heater) to get at your water, and that's a potentially heavy load on the house batteries if you use much hot or cold water that must be replaced and heated/cooled.
