Hatch covers

[Don ravinerat]

Sorry I ment the drain for shanking the end of the hose from female to male

I want to thank everyone for the advice and links. On Sat I managed to drive to a RV dealer who is South of me. ( RV Warehouse) I really wanted to see it they had anything in stock. I managed to match the hatch for the power cord. I am changing the three other hatches to round boxes/covers. The mounting of the water ones should fit as the old ones are pretty close together.

Don, had you considered this type power connector if you were changing the other ones to round?

Do you think that the round ones will cover your existing cut-outs okay? This is my main reason for not going that way, as it would mean doing some body work.

I already replaced it with the square one. The back is round as it goes into the trailer so the round one would have worked good.

So my idea of using the City Water hatch for the sink and changing the hose end to a male will not work. There is a one way valve in the City Water one so it would not allow the sink to drain. Back to the catalogues.

Do you know if all the holes are round? My trailer is out at our land, and I can't check.

Don, couldn't the built-in check valve be defeated by drilling or removal?

Don,
Please keep the other hatches. I'd like to get them from you one way or another.

Going to have a look at the valve tonight to see if it is removable. I know I can get and adapter for the threads.

Will do Roy. I'll be as careful as I can taking the others off but they are pretty brittle.

The power cord was a large round hole. The city water and sink drain are round olds with a neck on them. So there is a tube about 1 1/2" that it goes through. I'll go have a look and take a pic.

Here is the City Water and Sink Drain. The other pic is the Free Flow fill for the water tank.

Seems like my iPad won't let me post 2 pics at a time. So the other pic is the water tank fill.





Don't know why the pictures posted sideways. Hope these help.

Looks like the penetrations are very small, compared to the hatches. That's a good thing.

[Don ravinerat]

I can measure them if you need.

[Jim Bennett]

That's fine, Don. The photos tell the story very well, thanks.

Ok problem solved. I looked through my plumbing parts and have an adapter. The male end threads into the the round drain hatch and the other end of the adapter threads on to a hose. So all I have to do is remove the one way valve which seems to be plastic.
