So, after hours spent on internet I decided to get myself a 28 quart insulated cooler for my new Anova. I didn't expect it to have "can space" on top but it's a perfect fit. Right now I have 12 New York strip cooking in there for 2.5h.

/u/zeropin answered your question pretty well, but if you're trying to get super fancy with this:
I work from the road sometimes and use this setup. I've cut the mattress to fit the back bed and it's ALMOST like sleeping at home as long as I find a flat piece of ground to park on. Currently driving from NC to Colorado 8 hours at a time while working from coffee shops.
The cooler fits nicely in the space between the folded down seats (with headrests removed) and obviously can keep your drinks cold with a 10lb bag of ice. Also, if I've got a guest, this setup will fairly comfortably sleep 2. If you need pics or further explanation please let me know.
First, get a cooler you can toss in the back of your truck. You didnt say a budget, so...
Expensive: Pelican coolers can keep ice for up to 10 days, effectively making it a mobile fridge.

Cheap: Coleman chest, it will keep it cold for a few hours. Toss an ice pack in with your food.

Those work fine for small items but for larger items (think multiple racks of baby backs or standing roasts or turkeys or...) there is a better way that works for large loads and also works for smaller loads. It changes the dynamic for large family/group meals: pre-cook as much as you can and then use the Frankencooler to reheat everything the day of for a no-fuss mob meal.
A Frankencooler has much greater capacity with far better insulation for much less money than the Cambro pans. A Frankencooler is also big enough to store the cooker and related toys in when not in use.
Here's one that holds 28 quarts that comes with a sturdy handle. Anova says you can even go a bit larger if you want and still maintain a reliable temperature. The Frankencooler does require a little work to adapt but Anova has provided step by step instructions with photos to guide your way.
I will keep noting temps for several days in several different scenarios and eventually make a post about it, but the first day's results prove everything you preach about thermodynamics. 2 different thickness and volume empty coolers did an amazing job of equalizing to the hot interior ambient of the vehicle and an equally amazing job of retaining heat when the ambient dropped.
Today's coolers were 2 Colemans, a cheap Walmart $25 28qt bail handle cooler and an apparently discontinued $80 (70qt) Coleman Xtreme with 2" insulation [like this one](https://www.amazon.com/Coleman-70-Quart-Xtreme-Cooler/dp/B000G64I1A/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=coleman+6270&qid=1569544809&sr=8-39/26/19 -)
Stay tuned for monitoring internal temps of a large Yeti cooler subjected to both freezing, chilly and hot exterior temps as well as more fun and games, possibly to even include humidity data for some select applications.
