Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I won a 54 quart Coleman steel belted cooler in a raffle. I took it on a cross country trip in June from Wisconsin to Rushmore, Yellowstone, salt lake, Zion, Albuquerque, OKC, St. Louis and Nashville. This cooler spent 5300 miles strapped to the front of my pop up campers storage tray. Exposed to the southwests 100 plus degree days. It was 114 degrees in Zion that year. This cooler kept ice better exposed to the elements than coolers I had inside my van during the trip. I left Yellowstone and didn't add ice untill camping in Zion. Two days of traveling. I didn't have an issue with the latch but the sun caused the inner cover of the lid to come Unglued. Melted it off I guess. Easy fix!. Still kept the ice frozen. Since you can buy the std silver one (like I got) for under $70 this cooler will save you money spent on ice effectively paying you back the money you would have saved if you bought a cheap $30 plastic cooler instead of this one. Have had any latch issues. Had this for three years now. Taken quite a beating.
