Hey Bob... a little off topic....used Forscan to keep my 12v outlets "hot" but was wondering what size/brand of cooler you use. So many on Amazon to choose from....just needing a "smallish" one to keep some items frosty when we venture down from our 5,500 ft. Prescott to Phoenix with temps around 100+.... AZPLAT

BUT for your needs I would look into a compresser style one.. Lots more money but they work a lot better..
This is what I have.

Overkill for me...??
Looks like a fairly high power consumer..... have you noticed battery drain using it....Imay settle for more around the 7 qt. versions but if that size is fine in your experience, maybe I will go bigger... AZZPLAT.

I loaded it with frozen food this trip and everything was still frozen solid when we unloaded..
Keep in mind it's for keeping cold stuff cold, not great at cooling off warm stuff..
And it does only pull a 40 degree drop. Works great here in Michigan as a spare freezer in the winter sitting on the side porch loaded with blueberries.. If it's 32F outside it's -12F inside.. But if it's 90 outside than it's 50 F inside.. And keep it out of the sun!

Trying to figure it out!
There is a Forscan sticky at the top of the 2015- Prestent section. First post has an attachment that lists every change that can currently be made. Or read the umpteen million pages for a bunch of fun.
