The convertible cooler according to claim 1, wherein the lid connector comprises a hooked slot open at a portion of the rear side and at a portion of the top surface and extending orthogonally from the rear side along a first part into a central portion of the cooler lid for a given distance and then extending along a second part at an angle to the first part. 3. The convertible cooler according to claim 1, wherein the slot defines opposing bosses therein projecting into the slot. 4. The convertible cooler according to claim 2, wherein the bed extension connector comprises a hook pin shaped to mate with the hooked slot and, when mated therewith, removably securing the bed extension to the cooler lid. 5. The convertible cooler according to claim 1, wherein: the bed extension comprises: an adjoining panel having the adjoining edge and a first upper surface; anda distal panel pivotally connected to the adjoining panel and having the side edges, the distal edge, and a second upper surface; andthe top surface of the cooler lid and the first and second upper surfaces together form the sleeping surface when the bed extension is moved into the extended position. 6. The convertible cooler according to claim 1, wherein the at least one leg assembly comprises: a bracket configured to clamp upon the bed extension adjacent the distal edge and be removably connected thereto; anda telescoping leg connected to the bracket and telescopically movable to extend and retract away from and towards the bracket. 7. The convertible cooler according to claim 6, wherein the at least one leg assembly is two leg assemblies. 8. The convertible cooler according to claim 1, wherein: the pivotable connection by the bed extension connector of the cooler lid to the adjoining edge of the bed extension is removable so that the bed extension may be selectively separated from the cooler lid by a user; andthe at least one leg assembly is removably connected to at least one of the side edges and the distal edge so that the at least one leg assembly may be selectively separated from the bed extension by a user. 9. A convertible cooler with fold-out sleeping surface, comprising: a cooler body having thermally insulating walls shaped to define an interior storage compartment with an upper opening and a rear wall having an upper rear portion;a thermally insulated cooler lid pivotally connected to the upper rear portion such that, when closed upon the upper opening, the cooler lid substantially seals the upper opening from the environment so that items placed within the interior storage compartment are thermally insulated from the environment, the cooler lid having: a top surface;a rear side; anda lid connector disposed at the rear side and at the top surface of the cooler lid and the lid connector comprises a curved slot open at a portion of the rear side and at a portion of the top surface and extending orthogonally from the rear side along a first part into a central portion of the cooler lid for a given distance and then curving along a second part at an angle to the first part;a bed extension having an adjoining edge, side edges, a distal edge, and a sleeping surface;a bed extension connector pivotally connecting the adjoining edge of the bed extension to the cooler lid adjacent the rear side to rotate the bed extension between: a stowed position, in which the bed extension rests flat upon the top surface of the cooler lid; andan extended position, in which the sleeping surface of the bed extension is substantially coplanar with the top surface of the cooler lid, the top surface of the cooler lid and the sleeping surface of the bed extension being sized to permit a person to sleep thereon; andat least one leg assembly connected to at least one of the side edges and the distal edge and adjustably supporting the distal edge of the bed extension above ground at a level that places the sleeping surface of the bed extension substantially coplanar with the top surface of the cooler lid when in the extended position. 10. The convertible cooler according to claim 9, wherein the bed extension connector comprises a hook pin shaped to mate with the curved slot and, when mated therewith, removably securing the bed extension to the cooler lid. 11. A convertible cooler with fold-out sleeping surface, comprising: a thermally insulating cooler having: an interior storage compartment; anda pivoting lid that, when closed, substantially seals the interior from the environment so that items placed within the interior storage compartment are thermally insulated from the environment, the lid having a top surface, a rear side, and a rear connector part, the rear connector part comprising a hooked slot open at the rear side and at the top surface and extending inwards from the rear side towards a central portion of the lid for a given distance and then extending at an angle thereto;a bed extension having an adjoining edge, and a sleeping surface;a bed extension connector pivotally connecting the adjoining edge of the bed extension to the rear connector part to rotate the bed extension between: a stowed position, in which the bed extension rests flat upon the top surface of the lid; andan extended position, in which the sleeping surface of the bed extension is substantially coplanar with the top surface of the lid, the top surface of the lid and the sleeping surface of the bed extension being sized to permit a person to sleep thereon; andat least one leg assembly connected to the bed extension and adjustably supporting the bed extension above ground at a level that places the sleeping surface of the bed extension substantially coplanar with the top surface of the lid when in the extended position; andwherein the bed extension connector comprises a hook pin shaped to mate with the hooked slot and, when mated therewith, removably securing the bed extension to the lid. 12.
