I just looked into one of those Engel coolers. $$$$!!! I am a big fan of innovative ideas, but that's pretty pricey. I have never been convinced of those 12v Thermoelectric coolers until we recently did a review of the Coleman 40 quart one for our website. We kept a thermometer in it the whole time. It maintained between 38 and 42 degrees all weekend outside (In the shade) in 90 plus temps. I am now a believer and will be offering them as options on our campers. Hey Roy, good stuff.

That's a great strategy to use separate coolers for food and drinks. Thanks, NYC. That’s a great strategy to use separate coolers for food and drinks.

I'm in my second season of base camping ( did lots of bicycle camping in my wasted youth;)) and am amazed at the array of camping gear designed to enjoy the outdoors in comfort. Already own a 50 odd qt. Colman 5 day Xtreme cooler last year and must say it's quite the lifesaver. With judicious use of frozen juice containers ( I like the sq. ones best fer spacesaving) and lots of Ziploc gallon bags, I was able to premake, pre freeze lunches and dinners to serve 4 for 5 days. Everything kept cold to frozen for the full trip. Still that wheeled Igloo you featured above looks mighty fine. Going out for 2 weeks this year and would love to move the liquids to the Coleman and use the Igloo for food. Still, I wonder if Igloo has sacrificed interior space for extra insulation as is the case w/ Coleman. Wish somewhere I could see the interior online. Not many camping stores here in NYC.
