Getting ready for first trip with the toyhauler and wanting to improve our drinking water container.
I use a round Coleman but it leaks badly, I dislike it. There is no gasket for the screw down lid, so when loading and moving it sloshes.
I am not finding much for reviews on the rotocoolers. And the few reviewers are about how long they keep ice. Great but down the list from leakage.
Yeti silo has reviews that says it leaks.
I see no comments on the permafrost chiller- made in Montana
Does anyone have a water cooler that doesn’t leak?
Anyone try the tractor supply rotocooler?

ever think about just running a water supply through a soda fountain cold plate, or anything else that you could rig as a heat sink...

Look at any construction site and you'll see Igloo water coolers mounted on work trucks.

Igloo is da bomb.
I've got two orange and two OD Green that we use at fish camp ... none of them have ever leaked to the best of my knowledge. If you want them to keep ice even longer drill a few little holes in the outter shell and inject expansive foam into them. Just make sure you drill more than one hole, do it high and low, so air can escape and the foam can escape to prevent it from bulging.
Another thing the foam does is make them super sturdier.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become.
In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.
