i have a 36 quart Igloo marine series cooler that fits in a floor holder behind the passenger front seat...it is only about 2 years old...this cooler has never kept ice very well...at most it will keep 'some' ice for 24 hrs which is really not sufficient for camping...in contrast i recently purchased a cheap 32 quart Coleman cooler from Wal-Mart...the Coleman cooler keeps ice twice as long as the Igloo marine series cooler....i don't think the Igloo cooler has any insulation in the walls or top...has anyone ever tried to drill holes in a hard sided cooler and add some sort of insulation?....if so, did it make a noticeable difference in how long the cooler keeps ice?....i am almost to the point of just using the Igloo cooler for storage and just buy another Coleman cooler, but the Igloo fits perfectly behind the seat so i would like to contiue using it.....
