Last year I finally got around to removing the cooler which came with my Clipper and was the source of leaks I never could stop. The cooler was really useless anyhow and I do all my camping in Arizona high country which is pretty cool in the summer anyway. Basically I tore out the unit, cleaned and re-boarded the opening, then covered it with fiberglass cloth on the outside. The leaks are history and I wish I had done this years ago!
