Cooler Cover

[Jim and Sue L.]

We've been having trouble keeping ice in the cooler on long travel days (and if you ask Jenn, she'll tell you we do lots of those). Usually, we can get three days out of a block, but lately they have lasted barely two. Hotter days or lower ice temps, don't know the cause, but need some assistance.

We considered buying a cooler cozy, but have heard some negative vibes on that, so we bought a couple of yards of insulation fabric "Insulbright" and made our own cover. (I won't show a pic, 'cause I can't sew worth a darn. Looks like Frankenstein's monster in a cotton onezy.)

We'll give it a road test on our long haul (yeah, another one) Saturday. We'll be gone a month so that should be a good enough test.

Later and...

Camp on,

We have the Camp-Inn cooler cozy and love it. Before the cozy, we would wrap coolers in those mylar emergency blankets held on with bungees. That worked, but they also looked like a weird science experiment.

The Cooler Cozy will extended the time to add ice to your cooler roughly 18 to 24 hours. I have recently noticed it is wearing quickly on the bottom. I think it is rubbing the lip on the counter top as we pull and push the cooler along the counter surface. I would buy it again.

I had a piece of leftover carpet that I cut the size of the bottom of the cooler and put a couple of loops on it. I put it upside down under the cooler. I can grab the loops and pull it out and move it around on the carpet piece. Makes it easy to move and protects the cooler cover. I used that sticky carpet edging to make the loops.

Well, we've tested Frankenstein's cooler cover. Seems to help. The big test starts today as we wind our way to CICO by the longest route possible (we get side-tracked at lot). I'll give a full (and remarkably silly) report on our return sometime in early October.

Later and

Camp on!
