Okay, I think I got it.
There is a matching set in this style:
  • Water Tank
  • City Water
  • Cable Hatch

I've seen "Water Tank" commonly available in the RV supply stores in the San Diego area, but "Cable Hatch" is quite rare.
I'm using the set on my Compact Jr. rebuild.

I seem to remember an old thread where a member needed one of them because his Trillium originally came with them and he wanted to maintain the "Look".

Where is it? Do you have a link? I've seen locking door fresh/city water but none including cable.

Steve I believe the ones in the original photo may be made by a company called J & C and they do have a cable hatch as well but they dont seem to have a combo hatch that you are looking for or at least in my search I havent seen one.

I found them at the local "Brick & Mortar" version of this:

These aren't "Locking Door" however...

Floyd, Where did you find that one. Does the hose screw in for filling? I found one I thought looked good but forgot to bookmark it! I haven't learned to drill out rivets or put them in but I have a feeling I'm about to!

Jan, when looking at your options for filling your fresh water tank you need to look at the ports that say they are gravity feed and not city water - the city water connections look very much the same but you need to screw the hose on to them for filling. The gravity fill ones do not require you to screw the hose on them - so you can fill it just using a portable jug if you need to.

I might go with this one. It locks and it looks like there is plenty of room to drill a hole for a cable attachment.

Wonder if you got a plastic plug like the type used on the hot water tanks and put it into the connection you want the cable coming out of and drill a hole in to the middle of it to hold the cable if that might work.

I guess I found it in my loft, in a big box full of project parts. I probably got it from the bargain table at some RV place.
The hose will fit down the throat of the opening.
The bulhead opening had to be enlarged to accept it.
It was worth the minor bit of effort for the reduction in patience required to fill with the old one.
Here it is from Camping World....

Linda, I had the one that you have on my Biggar and lost the top on a logging road. Escape trailers put on the one that Steve has posted, I love it as it's flush to the trailer and locks.

I would just need the metal cable fitting like the one in this one, drill a small hole in the locking fresh/city water fill and it could do all 3 functions.
