Update from 2/2024: BougeRV sent me an entirely new cooler which is working great and can easily achieve freezing temperatures down to around 0°F.

An important part of every boondocker or overlander's gear is a cooler. If you're going to be driving miles into the wilderness for days at a time, chances are that you will have some food items that you want to keep cool.

Ultimately, after searching the available options, I decided that for my upcoming Alaska adventure, I wanted a budget cooler with dual zones. The dual-zone feature would be helpful in case I needed to freeze any small items. So I chose the BougeRV Dual Zone 35L Fridge/Freezer. I ordered the cooler and an insulated cover from Amazon and took it on both my 2-month road trip to Alaska and my 30-day road trip to Maine and Nova Scotia.

And now, after 3 months on the road, I'm ready to share an honest product review.
