Update to my earlier posts regarding Bob Wells advice about adding foam board. I didn't want to leave the impression that Bob was posting bad advice on that occasion.
That advice was specific to the 65qt model and caused no issues in my usage. The 65qt model is a heavy beast, with most of the weight in the end with the refrigeration machinery. When I move it I hold the heavier end closer to my body.
The 45qt, a later design, is much lighter in the business end, taking advantage of the outer skin to save weight (and cost?). It was my mistake to apply the old advice to a newer model. I removed the foam board from the sides, and stuffed small cloth rolls to stabilize the unit against fore and aft movement when in transit.
Thank you to Maki for the useful information.
