We have been looking for a good quality cooler to ensure our cold food is kept fresh as long as possible. I've seen Yeti brands mentioned quite a bit with other van dwellers. Is this a good brand to invest in? Any suggestions welcome otherwise also! We would be likely keeping things like cheese...

Hello van gang! My van mate and I are going to be going on a much anticipated adventure in our van while still working our 9-5's for the next 6 summer months - (goal is to save $$$ of course! :D) Over the last year we grew tired of throwing our hard earned monies away to bills, and more so...
