If I put this cooler on it's side (let's say to fit in the trunk), will it leak everywhere?

Yes I think it would but I've never put it on its side because it's compact enough to go upright in my car. I absolutely LOVE this cooler. Perfect size easy to carry or pull on wheels.

Yes. There is a hard plastic insert but the top is only covered by the fabric material.

I haven't tried that but I would imagine that since the top is a zipper, any liquid could leak out. It should definitely fit upright in your trunk, though.

I have always been advised to never lay any fridge on the side as compressor oil can leak out.... Hope this helps

Dont see why not if it can be one that does not leak. My unit failed after we used it 4 times so I took out the cooling unit and just use it as a normal cooler. We used it in the car and were happy with it, but after it failed I could not find a way to get repair parts for it, shame as 80$ is a lot to only have a small ice cooler.

I have five of these containers and have found that a couple will leak when on their side. It doesn't matter how much I tighten the lid, they will leak. It's not a serious problem for me as I can leave them upright.

Yes but don' t lay the backpack upside down or side ways because water will leak through the zipper of the cooler bag and you don't want to get the pump wet.

One of the things you would need to concern yourself with is the large fan pulls air from the bottom of the cooler. That would need to be left clear of anything you would be wearing. I usually have one end on a chair arm or keep my knees apart for the opening.

Yes, it's a really good seal. I've put it in my backseat, closed and full and it's never leaked at all.

Depends on your car of course. The bottom does mine, but it's not stable. Especially if you have it filled all the way. I don't recommend it. And it is not a complete seal - it does drip/leak of you tip it or turn it sideways. Still love it, though.

I don't know - the bummer of this thing is is that if you don't close it exactly right it leaks... and that's a lot of liquid to leak in a sportsbag or a car or something... If you close it right - it's great... but I have two kids who don't always get it exactly right.

I'm not sure about that but I would be conserned about any leaks that may occur if it were on top of your dashboard where water could do some damage. Maybe the back window would be better. We put it on the hood of the car or on a table while camping. No worries if it leaks there. This is our third one we bought and they haven't leaked for us but it's better to be cautious than to have something damaged by water.

Yes. The pic shows it standing up on its side but I place it down like a normal Coleman cooler

The cables only lock on one side. It would be more secure if the cables locked on both sides. If your trunk's is empty it should fit easily.

Yes. There will be an transmission fluid cooler at the bottom side of that radiator that you just leave alone.

Quite possible. For the safest & best storage you should remove the gas bottle after use & the unit has cooled. Then you don't have to worry about the bottle leaking. While attached. That's how we do it.

I am pretty sure it can't. As the directions indicate, and as you can see by the fittings (when you get the product) that it's specifically designed to be placed on a FLAT surface. If you are using a ROUND igloo cooler then it probably won't work. It will leak. Maybe one of the flat square coolers might, if you used calking or some sealant around the edges, but like Blue Garden said it's gravity fed so having it on the bottom is best.

No.. I have had my for a long while now.. and it never leaked.. you may want to call the company.. it sounds like you left something off while you were installing it.

Yes on the sides but you need to use two hands. Think of it like an ice chest/cooler.
