2.5 Gal Keg Cooler

[daphatgrant]

Hey HBT, I bought a 5gal drink cooler to use as an HLT, I immediately realized that it's too small. So, what am I supposed to do with a 5gal drink cooler? Turn it into a "portable kegerator"? I think I'll give it a try. I found this thread and am going to try and follow it's directions, the pictures could be better though.

Has anyone here made one of these? If so do you have any thoughts or suggestions? I go camping with friends every year and the park we go to has cabins with refrigerators, this would be perfect as I could leave a 2.5gal in the fridge while serving out of the cooler and swap when the first 2.5gal is kicked.

Not finding a ton of info out there but those that have done this seem happy with the results, here are a couple other builds.
