Questions and Answers about Camping Coolers

What size coolers should I get for my camping trip?

May 06, 2011 by J-Bird | Posted in Camping

Question: Looking at getting the Coleman X-treme coolers. On average, we will have food for four people for three days. We will bring a separate cooler for beverages and for food. What size for each one. Would an 82 quart be too big for the food one? We plan on using blocks of ice, if

Answer: We're a family of 5 and we use the 50 quart wheeled Xtreme 6. Like you we typically put any drinks we want to keep cold in a separate cooler. For us, 50 quarts has always been plenty but I guess it really depends on how long your trip is going to be and how much you usually eat.

The bigger they are the heavier they are and the more difficult it is to find a spot to pack them in the vehicle. The Coleman Xtreme is the perfect choice, definitely use one for drinks the other for foods. The 82 quart for the food would be about right. Here is a suggestion

A Camping, Jeeping, Cooler Guide

31.12.69

We don’t know about you, but we’ve literally got a stack of coolers and we don’t use most of them. Why? Because we are really good at finding things wrong with coolers after we’ve bought them. Let’s face it, as Jeepers and off-road enthusiasts, an ordinary cooler that is good enough for camping or tailgating might not be good enough for our special use. Over the years and miles we have accumulated a list of pet peeves and likes when it comes to coolers, fridges, and insulated bottles. It seems as if every company has its own special tape measures. From things we buy at actual stores to coolers we’ve mail ordered, sometimes they don’t fit in the Jeep where they are supposed to. So, we took an actual tape measure marked in actual inches and actually measured our coolers to give you a real idea of what fits and what hits. And, true to Jp form, we personally took an interest in taking these things for a long test drive. We wheeled with them, camped with them, heck, even slept next to a few of them. We weren’t particularly nice to any of them, either. We decided to take our pile of coolers and our years of experience with them off-road and put the proverbial pen to paper to help you with your next chilling purchase.
