I only had the BackTap: https://www.brumate.com/products/backtap-denim?variant=32722951045191
so it was the smaller one that we only used for drinks. Was going to get the bigger one until I found the Anker one.
But I actually have bought a lot of Brumate items, and their quality and ability to keep things cold is top notch.

Mine is just your standard cheap colmen extreme! Works fine and holds ice for 4 or so days if you're not in it constantly. Now I just use ice packs on my fishing trips.

Wanted to share that we used to have a cheap Igloo cooler for our jockey box but it was a money pit having to dump bags of ice in it multiple times a day. This cheap ass cooler was about $120 a week just in ice.
That was back in 2017. I've since upgraded the jockey box using an RTIC 45 and ice costs dropped to $6 per day. It's in use for 3 weeks out of the year and we pour 15-20 kegs of free beer so it's made its cost back many times over just in ice savings.
Time honored wisdom pulls through again. If you ain't first, you're last!
Oh, and built a custom sized Radio Flyer to haul a full 55 quart cooler around the pool.
It has two handle options. One uses a custom bent conduit tube with a rod end bearing so the cooler can be pulled with the bicycle. The other is a normal pull handle.

Hell yeah! Haven’t had a chance to take out on the road at yet but im so stoked. Did a battery test for a few days and seemed to hold up well.Just got mine too!
Stickers stuck good! As for 48 or 65...I have no idea ...I would guess 48...could fit a few in back of 4 door...
2 door might require th seats put down.

Space is limited in a 2 door, so I found this cooler bag while looking for something else at the Rtic store. It's not quite as yellow in person and is a close-ish match to Cyber Orange. I just keep it in the back so it's always there for those "we're hanging out and drinking beer at the house - C'mon" calls from buddies.
Know next to nothing about this cooler except it was free. Loooong time ago, in the before times, Deschutes rep was at one of my watering holes promoting their product (one that I already liked anyway) and for about the first time ever during one of these things I won a giveaway. Hadn't really used it before yesterday except for occasional freezer cleaning/restacking. It's obviously some model of Igloo but I couldn't say more than that.
Dumped some beer, gatorade and ice into it and took it for tailgating at yesterday's Sox game. Hot day here and hotter on the parking lot asphalt where it sat out for a couple hours pre-game then a bit after the game, too. Makes for a sturdy seat as well, at least from watching friends use it as such (and built-in external bottle opener was a plus).
Pulled the Zombie Dust and some gatorades out when I got home and left the rest. Went down today to get the rest of the gatorades and the Miller Lites and still VERY cold with lots of ice.
For free, can't be beat and works quite well for a tailgate-style or backyard gathering. IMO too damn heavy and too big if I was traveling but it's just my wife and me and it's quite doubtful we'll be doing much (any) camping as that's not something she's ever done. At this stage I'm more interested in something smaller with a first priority being something that can fit behind and be accessed from the front seat while moving. Water/soda/snacks & sandwiches kind of thing. No need for keeping it cold beyond a day's travel.

The Tank is awesome, I like how it can turn into a drink tap, has a option for a interior basket, a lip that can support an adult sitting on it. It will keep ice as ice for a long weekend on the lake. Ours is 3 years old and still no sign of wear.
I do wish Brumate made a tank, but a little bit smaller for day trips (not the backtap).
