Cooler could also be a set of ice packs in the outdoor fridge and let it be without power.
Put the icepacks in the freezer inside overnight to be ready the next day.
Have done this on shorter trips(2-2/12hrs)
Supersize the "ice packs".
Larger mass of ice takes much longer to melt, the larger the cubes the longer it takes to melt them..
Instead of the small reusable ice packs, freeze a few water bottles. I have in the past made 1 quart "ice cubes" using simple 1 quart "freezer" containers. In a ice chest those oversized cubes would last several days easily in 95F+ temps..
Good chance you will want some water so when melted, the water bottles can due double duty as drinking water supply.. Nothing goes to waste and your refreshments stay cool..
