To get around the "ice cube" problem, just fill a couple of two liter bottles with water and ice those.  They're reuseable and cost nothing.

  I ordered one.  I'll let you guys know.

Anyone every tried one of these kooleraire's as a way to aircondition a
Vanagon?

It says it fits a Coleman 28 Quart cooler, which I found to be 13.5" high x
21" long and 10.5" wide. It seems like the 10.5" could fit between the front
seats, even with the parking break, but very close.

The downside to these, is you'd need to stop in a supermarket once a day or
so to refill the ice, but you can use it to cool your drinks at the same
time. The testimonials for the cooling are pretty impressive.

I'm kind of torn between getting this vs. a plug-in cooler

since only one will fit the space.

Thanks!
