I did find these rotoformed cooler for 5 gallon kegs.

Pricey, but I'd probably consider it if we were still tailgating every weekend.

By the way, the toilet bowl flange wasn’t a used one. Just to clarify that.

Been doing a little brainstorming this morning on how to rig up a collar on an old igloo cooler. Stumbled on this option. This is a handicap shower bench. To my surprise it fits perfectly on the lip of this particular cooler leaving room for 2 3 gallon kegs inside.

Thinking I can cut 2 holes in a piece of 1 inch foam board to fit to fit over the 2 kegs and if it's a tight fit will probably be at least as energy efficient as the lid which will be removed. Planning to mount a 2 tap tower on the bench. It could probably accommodate 2- 5 gallon kegs with the adjustable legs on the bench.

Anxious to see how this goes! Keep us updated with your progress.

It may be a while. Probably won't get into the build out until after the new year. Going to cover the shower bench with either cedar fence pickets or vinyl flooring. Need to get my wife another shower bench as well.

Round 2 and I like this one a lot better. I have been using these busboy tubs around the house for years. They are 7 inches deep and fit the cooler pretty well. Plenty of room for 2 3gallon kegs. Thinking I can mount the tower on a piece of wood on the end of the cooler over the drain plug and wheels. Better I think.

Added benefit is lower overall height. My single tap cooler doesn't fit in my Honda Pilot without unscrewing the tap handle.

Started messing with this build a little. Work in progress but you can see the basic design.
