Running Out Of Time On The Road

My first mentor had the Coleman but the plug stoped making a connection going into the unit. It looked melted and one of the metal sleeves was stuck on the pins. He had it plugged to the red/black connectors behind the dashboard mount.

I went with a dometic 95 and it's been saving me money ever since but given the price, it better. I'm going to use it for my room if I ever stop driving. Wifi app looks nice but I don't need it eating more power lol

Can't insert picture :(

Tractor Man what kind of cooler do you have? I've got the Coleman iceless cooler, but I'm afraid to leave meat in there for that long.

I have an Igloo 28 qt iceless. I have a little thermometer hanging inside. Always between 39 and 45 degrees. The same as a regular refrigerator. I wouldn't keep raw meat in it for a week, a couple of days is OK. Cooked meat is good for a week. Im 56 years old and it hasn't killed me YET!

TM, are you sure it's the 28 that you have? I'm asking because I thought you said you got it at walmart, but it looks like they have the 40 but not the 28. The web site has the 28 but it looks like it's from a 3rd party seller.

...I guess it doesn't really matter, except that I was thinking of getting the one you are happy with.

Yup. It is the tall narrow one. Kind of concave on the back. Identical to the regular 28 qt. I bought the regular one at Wallyworld, but found the iceless on Craigslist for $30.00. I use the regular one for bottled water and sodas. Keep it next to the passenger seat. Automatic, no stick in the way. Keep the iceless in the bunk area. I have a Cascadia, keep it on the floor on the left hand side if you are facing the back. There is a plug underneath the open area at the bottom. I like the compact size. Tall and skinny. Never in the way. The only time I move it is to access the open storage behind it.

Dang yeah that's what I was afraid of.. According to the USDA, leftovers should be kept below 40°: Leftovers and Food Safety. I haven't bought a thermometer for mine yet, but I think it keeps about the same temp as yours.

Just checked Amazon. $79.00.

Have you ever seen the USDA guidelines for handling and cooking a Thanksgiving Turkey???? MILLIONS of people should be dead several days after Thanksgiving every year!

Hahaha. It's one thing if it's just once in a while. I'm just nervous about doing that every single week. I'm hoping somebody who's died from foodborne illness will pipe in here and tell us how it happened.

I don't know if you have ever worked in a Restauraunt. Im sure you eat at them. The way they handle and store food in those places, the ENTIRE population would be wiped out in a matter of months!
