Another excellent idea and a 50 caliber can would be just about perfect. 
In fact, the foam could be cut to hold the body, lens, exposure meter 
etc. to keep them from banging around. I now have a 30 caliber can 
behind the seat that holds handtools and other items for emergencies. 
There's also rain gear, boots, folding shovel, tie-down straps etc. And 
most important of all: APP....... "all-purpose paper" better known as 
toilet paper! LOL  Old GI's like myself know the importance of being 
prepared. ;^)

Doug, your thoughts about the build up of heat in the cooler is also 
good advice. Also the caution about condensation. Thanks.
