OK - I'll restate. If you need a good cooler, can wait for it, and don't want to spend double the amount on comparable products Made in the US and sometimes the Philippines, RTIC is a no-brainer. Unless your buying drinkware or soft sided coolers, then your screwed because all that stuff is made in China.
BTW - Google has servers overseas so you better stop googling.

Thank you all for the input....I'm still undecided about it but as indicated, if I'm going to do it, this would be the time. I have done the typical internet searches on the "Esky" brand and it seems to hold up fairly well. I'm looking real hard at the 135 quart one. It has a 469.00 price tag but after all the discounts, I'd be right around 300.00. My wife says, get the 205 quart but I'm thinking I'd never move it!!!(thinking weight).
One other comment, I've seen plenty of these high end coolers on the back side of ATV's...hence another use I might need it for. Oh well, we'll see, have till Sunday when the sale ends. Thanks again..

We have a bunch of Yetis, and I agree with the thoughts that they are a bit overkill for your average camper or someone who has hookups all the time. However, if you plan on boondocking for long periods of time, especially in warmer weather, a heavy duty cooler is worth the money, not only for ice storage, but for other food storage too. I'd say if you could get a heavy duty cooler that is that size for that price, do it. Just make sure it's actually the real deal. Often outlets will sell things as the real deal, but they are actually lesser quality. I haven't been to the Coleman outlet that often, but for clothing stores these days, that's usually the case.
Portable ice makers are nice, but at least in my trailer toyhauler, storage space for things like small appliances is at a huge premium so having an extra item around isn't really an option. We keep our coolers on the floor of the garage area of our toyhauler.
If/when you do get it (or just in a regular cooler too), first fill the bottom with a few ice blocks, that'll help keep the cubes from melting as well.
