We use an igloo also got it at WalMart.  We use it on our fishing trip to make ice for the bait/fish cooler. Make it really steady saves us a lot. We used to have to buy 2-3 bags a day while at Cape Hatteras surf fishing. Very simple to use.

Well.. there is the issue of just where to put it. LOL

We used an Igloo brand one that we bought at Sam's for $79. The biggest thing we did was to buy a much more efficient cooler(s). A good cooler, and using it right, makes a lot of difference. We haven't bought ice in 6-7 years. That alone has paid for the coolers and ice maker.
Our old Coleman Extreme 72qt.. In the summer it would eat 20 pounds of ice almost daily. $5-6 at the CG, cheaper if you could get to a town, but then there is gas money, and time away from what you came to do...

I am considering an icemaker. It's always a hassle and an expense to get bags of ice. In the heat of july I can go thru 30 pounds of ice in a day. Anybody have any preference on an ice maker? Anny particular reason why? Is it as simple as buying an icemaker and done? or does this create another issue i need to adress?
