Just wanted to thank OP. This build thread gave me a ton of ideas for my project.

This is awesome. I hope it is still being worked on. Any updates?

Yeah they are pretty spendy. I'm looking the used route, but will take a look at this. For anyone interested in a chemical deterrent, pine sol or other ammonia based (non sweet smelling) or bleach based cleaners does apparently help (but not a primary deterrent). May be worth using as part of a...

That's a great resource. I looked at that yesterday and saw the cheaper lifetime cooler actually did really well. That is what I am referencing for my search right now. It's tough to get through the marketing fluff from some of the companies, and this is much better.

Hello all, I car camp all around the northwest, and realized my food storage/sleeping setup was probably not the most ideal for certain areas concerning food smells in your sleeping area. I sleep in my 4runner, and I just got a awning/room setup that I am going to try out now that it is (3) of...
