Cooler for bed With a Tonneau Cover

Yeah that looks light.

I have questions.

1. Can you plug that into the back of the bed? I know that isn't a strong outlet, but is it enough to keep the freezer going and keep the ice frozen in between camp sites? I figure to let the cooler stay cold on it's own, and then REFREEZE every time we drive to the next site? Would that work?

2. If we had meals in tupperware, how many meals could we fit in that?

3. I measured 17" to the cover, but that cooler is 18+". How does it even scrape closed?

1. You're not going to refreeze anything unless you're driving 8+ hours. You will drop the temp back down tho. But unless it's the winter, 4hrs of run time is not enough to keep things frozen for the the other 20 hours. Especially because we usually are driving the hottest point in the day 10am-2pm. Especially opening it to pull out meals throughout the day.
I deep freeze before I leave, will run the freezer and all it's content as low as it goes before putting it into the truck. I try not open the freezer while the sun is up. I have some blue ice blocks that I cycle between the powered freezer and ice cooler. I move the days food from the freezer into the cooler. Any time you open the freezer you let the heat in and the work out.

2. Tupperware takes up a lot of space, you're essentially putting your dishes into the freezer with your food. Ziplock everything. Maximize your freezer space.

3. I've got 18" of clearance with a bed mat. Are you measuring to yellow tonneau switch? How'd you get 17"?
