BEST ICE CHEST UNDER $100
In your opinion, which is best or worst or overrated. Looking for something that can keep ice frozen for 4 days or so.

I hate to ask, but for the price of a Yeti cooler, why not go with a Dometic CF or CFX refrigerator? These are true fridges, not Koolatron-esque thermoelectric coolers, sport a Danfoss compressor, and can get to 0 degrees (lower with the CFX units.)
I can see using a Yeti cooler when 12 volt power can't be found, but for a RV that has power available, and assuming a decent boondocking setup, it might just be better to go with the Dometic unit, because it is actively refrigerating the contents, not just keeping the contents from warming up, and since you need no ice, you have more room.
Maybe the best of all worlds might be both. The Dometic set to a freezer for storing cold items and freezing ice packs, while the Yeti has the ice packs rotated into it every so often, and functions as the "refrigerator".
