Will a koolatron let you put ice in it ?
The Colemans don't recommend adding ice .
This might work if ice can be added . On a long term cruise , we cannot precool items , but if we can add ice and it cools it down to 50-60 degrees inside , the ice would last for several days .

I have a square basin that fitted right inside the top lip of my old p-34 unit , that allowed me to put a bag of ice cubes in it & then sit my wine & extra beer cans in it the basin contained the melting ice cube water & the ice maintained the temp while I sailed all day . this also gave me ice cubes for my Scotch on the rocks J
