My personal experience with Yeti coolers has been that they are INDESTRUCTIBLE and will probably outlast me and my van. I find that they are way better at keeping things cold than cheep coolers but only keep things cold marginally better or the same as other top of the line coolers.

Also, the cost for a Sportsmobile top seems very high to me, especially to add to an older van like we have. If you don't mind me asking, was the Fiberine top more reasonable? And, does Fiberine also do installs? I am in So. Cal., so they are reasonably close by.

Thanks in advance
Poke around and the install fiberine does is not the best
Great top and flexible options from what i have read

I would use Jeff at RVI to do an install of a Fiberine, he is in San Diego
