    What's up fellas-
    Planning a cross country trip, and need some cooler brands! Looking at RTIC and they seem reasonably priced for what you get, cabelas are bomber but a little more pricey, wondering what other brands you guys use. Thanks!

    We went cross country for 26 days with our Engel Deep Blue 80 and it did excellent. Kept food chilled below 40* for over 2-weeks at a time.

    Key is a full cooler, pre chilled food, and block ice not wet loose ice. I used gallon freezer bags filled and frozen then refrozen any time we stayed in a hotel. Keep it closed also so I carried another cooler for drinks.

    I now have a fridge and would recommend it 100%.
    Engel is doing 40% off fridges right now too.

    echo what ctfriel says.
    Wish I could afford an Engel, I got a cheap brand but works well, make sure there is good circulation, keep fan area clear.
    and don't leave on truck battery overnight, use alternate source. 2hr max might last 4hr if winter ;).
    I use a gallon milk jug, heavier white type. or block ice in a gallon bag. why can't we find block ice anymore???

    Do you have a link? I just checked the TW deal forum and did not see any mention of a sale.

    Just google Engel fridge. It's their site.

    I also currently have an ARB 37qt and I'd buy an Engel over ARB any day of the week! I sold my MT45 because it wouldn't fit under my Tonneau and miss it every day.

    That sucks. My RTIC 20 has had ice in it for 6 days now and still plenty of ice to go at least another couple days. I even open it up several times thru the day. Maybe you got a bad seal or something?? Call them up and tell them about it. I'm sure they will fix the issue no questions asked :thumbsup:
