I'm using the Coleman electric cooler... works great. It says not to use it as a refrigerator, but I do anyway. I unplug it about once a day for a few hours, so the fan doesn't ice up. I lay it on its bottom, like a chest, not standing vertical. Don't have to stack things as much that way. I've had it for almost a year; I do keep a supply of spare fuses on hand... but they're cheap. Sometimes they'll go bad once a week, or last a month. The one I have in there now is going on over a month. I recently spilled the contents of my crock pot in my truck, and it splashed onto the fan/motor area of the cooler, so I took it apart and cleaned it out; I mean, really cleaned it out! There was a ton of dust and grit that had built up inside the motor/fan blades; now it's purring like brand new again. I've been meaning to buy a filter and attach it to the intake area of the grill. I've never had anything spoil. The only danger is that it can get too cold; I've had lettuce freeze, which ruins it. Less than $100 at WallyWorld.

Hello everyone,, I don't really know, to be honest with you. Some companies have the Opti idle, where the big engine will fire up if the batteries get low. I know that the systems in some trucks will shut down the peripherals (fridge, inverter, heater, etc.), leaving enough power to start the truck.

I only have experience with Prime, so I can't speak with certainty on any other companies. The fact that Prime provided inverters and APUs was actually a deciding factor for me when choosing a company.
