Here is your answer Larrie:
I am using 1/8" birch plywood to cover all the foam that can be seen (not the back).
I had extra foam board left over so a doubled the door foam thickness from 1/2" to 1" and the same with the top of the refrigerator. You can also see in the pics the 5" filler panel I made to space the refrigerator from our drawer unit. Added two vent holes to it and found some computer fan guards to dress the holes up.
Will post a pic when I finish varnishing everything and get it in the van. Am also rechecking the refrig power draw with the added insulation to see if it makes any measurable difference.
The thicker door no longer opens wide enough to adjust the refrigerator shelve location w/o removing the door. I see that as a minor point. Think I would have had the same problem with 1/2" of insulation in the door.
