Agreed Heavy, but if the insulation is Poly Urethane it wont absorb water. polystyrene does and it happens with freezer containers ( and any type of freezer room) because as the air is frozen and looses the water it contains( humidity), a vacuum is created drawing air from outside through any cracks and as that air gets to a cold level in the insulation the moisture condenses (dew point) and gets left behind.
