Cooler for Motorhome

Get the 120/12 V reefers you can sit in your basement compartment....regardless of where you are you have a small refrigerator then

It's a matter of increasing insulation like keeping a heavy blanket over the ice box, keeping the Ice box closed, using block ice (frozen water jugs) instead of cubes, keeping the ice box in the shade.
I myself carry an auxiliary 4 cu ft elect refrigerator along.

Agree Yeti coolers are made to last and keep ice longer 3-4 days

Hi,

You can also make some blocks of ice before leaving on a trip. Put some in a 2 quart tupperware container, and let it freeze at least 48 hours before leaving. Might even put some in a zip lock baggy (so the blocks of ice will not get freezer burn).

Blocks of ice tend to stay cooler longer. Yes you will need a better insulated cooler too. Also if you are putting in warm soda's to the ice, you will use a lot of ice to cool the items. Say there is 1 gallon of soda, that is 8 pounds, and if brought from 82F to 32F that is 400 Btu's or enough to melt 1/2 pound of ice.

Cooling the same 8 pounds from 39 to 32F is only 56 Btu's or about 1/20 pound of ice. So refrigerating the items before putting it into the cooler will help a lot.

Yeti cooler, expensive but there are none better. Last one you will purchase. Unless it gets stolen.

Have you seen the Igloo Sportsman coolers? I saw them at Sam's the other day, Igloo 55 QT Sportsman Cooler. They look comparable to a Yeti.
