It is a bit bigger than I thought it would be but that's ok it fits perfect when i lay down the back passenger side seat in my jeep grand cherokee then it slides perfectly in the notch created using the seat belt for some extra attachment. The latch I like because I don't have to stretch it and pull hard or push down if other material or luggage is up next to it, I only need to lift up the catch after tugging it down slightly, a good solid latch.I could have really done without the ruler on the top, perhaps you did that for fishing. I am a fisherman but no, a ruler embossed in the material is a no no, I will probably sand it off and put some stickers there. The cooler although expensive is going to work great I am quite certain. It is super super hot in Arizona throughout many seasons including winter and I want to keep things iced down for as long as possible for road trips. One of the main reasons I bought your cooler is because you have a clean out tap for the water that is created. That is huge and a good design, imagine not having one, I cannot.Thanks again, I have not road tripped it yet but will soon it's gonna be great. It has stickers on it already.
