I have a Igloo max Cold Ice Cube which I use as a mobile kegerator.

It has the perfect size to fit a 3 gallon corny keg plus the CO2 tank.

But the quality of the cooler leaves much to be desired:
- The "ice for 5 days" Igloo claims is a myth. The walls are very thin and ice hardly lasts longer than a day.
- The handle just broke on mine and the replacement handle cost almost as much as a new cooler.
- The wheels are crap too. After a few trips across a gravel camp site with cooler loaded the wheels started bending.

Now we have St.Patrick's Parade coming up where I wanted to take the cooler and I am looking to replace that cooler with something similar but more sturdy. It needs to be as compact as this one but better built if possible.
No trash can design please since I need to take this cooler on public transport and I want to have it look like as just a normal cooler. Plus when going camping any kegerator features need to be disguised as well because of the alcohol laws in local state parks.
So are there any sturdy coolers out there that might do the job?

Thanks
Stefan
