Well so far the camera has kept significantly cooler than the internal car
temperature.  I went this way as the lubricants were getting runny with the
camera just in its bag in the car and was very hot.  I take the camera out
of the cooler every night and take it into the house, which also allows the
inside of the cooler to cool off over night.

Once it has become heat-soaked the cooler will also keep the camera HOT so
unless you like baked film and runny lubricants I suggest you open the
cooler whenever it's hotter inside the cooler than the ambient air in the
truck.  In humid climates you might have problems with condensation when
you take the cool camera outside.
