12V Refrigerators/Coolers

[Anybodyhome]

Any recommendations for a 115VAC/12V cooler I can use for tailgating?
Went to a hockey game last week and the wife's soft cooler fell over and she had a bottle of bubbly in it without a temp cap. Guess what the Jeep smells like a couple days later?
Anyway, I'm done with the soft shell and ice coolers. I'd much rather get rid of the ice and just plug in a cooler in the back.

I have an ICECO jp50, 53qt, 12v fridge. A buddy has been using one for years, me coming up on two years. Works great, low draw and inexpensive compared to other brands. This brand uses good compressors with a 5 year warranty. I feel like it is a good cost to value ratio and comes with the cover included.

Looks like the cost has gone up some since I purchased it.

Thanks, I'll take a look. I don't need 53qt capacity, but I'll sure look to see if they have a 30-36qt (gotta have room for a couple large dogs back there).

I think they have a jp30 and jp40 as well.

I use my Yeti Tundra 65 or 45 cooler depending on what I'm packing.

@Anybodyhome did you end up getting a cooler? If so, what type / brand and have you been happy with it. For my needs just looking for something for day trips and keep things cool, so nothing fancy.

@Danarch: I looked at the ICECO JP30, which I really like as far as size and it's the capacity I can use. It's about $500 from everyone who carries it, including Amazon. Little too pricey for my needs. If I was going cross-country and spending more than 6 hours at a time on the road or wherever, I'd certainly buy it.

Last thing we are thinking of here is a cooler. All Good

Thank you, agreed. Looking for something a little more cost effective for simple daily trips.

The convenience and durability of the Iceco stuff should be considered. I’ve had mine three years now and use it regularly for camping trips. Beats the heck out of dealing with finding ice, cold water melt and wet food.

Heck, it got set up in the kitchen when our power went out with the solar battery and panels from the camper van to keep us in fresh food.

Thank you, actually looking at one on Amazon. Seemed like a decent model.
