SWMBO has approved my quest. I hope this is allowed, if not you have my bleassing to do what is needed.. So I am coming out of my corner - Yes be very afraid 
I only have an 8 CF foot fridge with a small freezer, so I am thinking of extra Ice, keeping bottled water cold, and possibly some fish (starting out frozen) to bring home...if Canada and US allows. On my list is a successful Halibut trip (never caught one) out of Alaska or Canada if there is a difference, (Hint - suggestions on where and who).
I know Carol wont allow fish to stink up the fridge (nor do I
) unless sealed and frozen and I want cold water while driving - thus the crew cab for room for the chest. We have an old steel shelled Colman (80's vintage) that's in very rough shape. Red Green would be proud 
. So in a nut shell I need a new, good cooler with good ice retention which my old Colman lacked.
I believe I need something in the 70-110QT capacity - hopefully with wheels (I'm getting old) and good handles. I also want a good durable lid locking system, Ice retention (tested not advertised) ) is very important. Sorry it's the engineer in me. Improved drainage a plus but if it drains I am OK.
Reviews on brands are all over the place. It appears to be like the Ford - Chevy - Dodge, wars - everyone has thier favorite, I just need something that works, is durable and actually works....did I say that before...Darn CRS
So here is the ultimate question to life and everything ---------- yep its 42, but.............. What are the experts here using and any recommendations. I have most sellers in my area (I need to put miles on "HAL" anyway) if I need to leave Durango - which could be a good thing price wise.
Thanks
