I have a Coleman one. I figure it is only good for 30F to 33F difference at best. So if the air temp is 90F the cooler is only 57F. So I wrapped mine in two layers of bubble foil insulation and it has helped allot. Especially during the day as it doesn't gain heat as easily. That means the daytime high is now no more than 5 to 15 F above the nighttime low.

What I don't like about it is the need to run constantly and the 4.5Amps it draws all the time.

In the long run I too plan on getting a proper compressor driven one.
