Keep your coolbox shut as much as possible. Every time you open the lid, it’ll let some of that cool air out so try not to keep it open for long periods.

It might not be a deal-breaker for most, but if you’re sensitive to noise, it can be bothersome. Also, the cool box may draw a lot of power when used in a motorhome or vehicle, so it’s something to consider if you plan to use it during extended road trips.

This was more than enough to ensure that everything stayed cold and fresh during our trip.
