I recommend:
- Label the meals so you know which road trip meal is for when.

- Limit the times you need to open the cooler.
- Keep the cooler out of the direct sun.

Road Trip Foods for Lunch: Prepare sandwiches and wrap individually in plastic food wrap. Don't include wet ingredients on your sandwiches, like tomato slices or pickles; instead bring a small container of these additions to add when you are ready to eat. That way your sandwiches won't get soggy.
