Tropical Ice Boxes

Found these on the web and was wondering if anyone out there has experience with them?

Tropical Ice Boxes - Company Profile

Looks like a pretty decent alternative to a powered frige for less $$$

shipping might be a deal-breaker.

what about some of the multi-day coolers the professional river guides use?

There's a boating site out of Florida that carries the Tropical Ice

Tropical Cooler 55 qt @ Boating and Fishing Catalog - Your Online Resource for the Gear the Pros Use!

They claim it will hold ice for up to 7 days, just was wondering if anyone's personal experience backed this up or not. They also carry a line Downunder USA which claims 15 days!

The claims do depend on cooler size and that you use block ice on the bottom.

Don't have any experience with Tropical Coolers but the similar units made by ENGEL are awesome.

I can give you a great deal on the ENG65 rooftoptent
