I expected it to get covered with mud and dust too, bu it dosent seem to. About once a month in the summer I hose the cooler off with a high pressure washer, but it dosent seem too necessary, the cooler stays pretty clean. I would recomend looking at the spot you have in mind for your cooler before installing the cooler. Is it relativly clean(I don't mean spotless I just mean no caked on mud and crud)? If so, anything you put there will probably look the same as that spot in a year.
