*THE RTT Owners Thread (With BS)*

They actually got sued by Yeti at one point because they design was so similar, ended up with them making some very minor changes that were pretty much cosmetic so it was a major win for them. I have one of their pre-lawsuit coolers and it is great.

 

How are the hinges on the RTIC and Engel coolers? Besides the RTIC saying "full length" it doesn't show much about materials, construction, etc on the hinges. The Engel I couldn't find anything about the hinges. There is a Coleman Marine cooler that gets good reviews, has stainless hardware and then it's sheet metal screws attached right into the plastic cooler body. Basically I want to know that after 10 years of use, a bunch of rain and a couple drops onto to corners of the lid it's not going to pull a hinge out or bend a bracket.

 

Yea i have one too. But since ive switched to a fridge, my cooler is on coffee table duty

 

Surprised more brands don't use this shoe bag design that ROAM does, mine work great.

 

RTIC, Yeti, Pelican, Orca all make rotomolded coolers
I personally like the looks or orca and pelican. But im probably going to buy a yeti since i can get it discounted through my job

 

Both of mine are built into my tent. It flips out when the tent is opened. One side is a shoe bag, and the other side is a spare parts/shoe bag

 

My Smittybilt has a shoe bag too. Can see mine on my picture.

 

I've had a Yeti 75 and a Pelican 30. I prefer the Pelican by far. It is much better made, and no rubber latches to wear out.

 

I now have shoe bag envy. Seeing how they attach is a big help. Thanks for the pictures. I found a few different varieties of bag, and am figuring out my solution.

My 23Zero Walkabout 62 gets delivered tomorrow! So excited, been waiting almost 3 months!

 

My HI-VIS ones are the same and just slide right into the metal channel on the RTT

 

Ordered mine today!

Engel definitely looks full length but I haven't pulled it out as there is no need to lol

Found this on their website

 

I will send you my extra one if you win the election.

 

Shoe bag envy is a terrible disease. My wife uses a separate tent for her shoes and bags.. frees up our sleeping space. (jk)

 

I have no words. OK, maybe a few.

If you think you need that, you might not be a camper.

 

ha! yeah that was the reaction I was looking for

I joke, but unfortunately it looks like my girls have reached an age where camping is no longer cool.
