What do you consider "cheap"? I already plan in at least 4" in the "thin spots" and to fill the gaps where there is waste space. This will be both ice and "powered" fridge...I am not trying to make my own ice.....just keep things a little cooler than and more convenient than the bilge. Because of my cabin lay out this will have to be top loading 18"x18"x18" for food section is the largest I can realistically fit (with 4"+) insulation on sides, top, and front, because I can't get back there the back will just fill in gall the spaces.
