Magnetic RV hose inlet utility hatch cover

thingiverse

Remixed from 2manytoyz cover, I crafted each file myself within Fusion to hone my skills with the program and make the process more enjoyable. By flipping the magnets on the insert from top to bottom, I eliminated a protruding piece that interfered with my dump pulls. Everything fit seamlessly, though if I were to reprint this, I would likely scale up the base plate by 5-10% for a better fit. The screw holes didn't align perfectly, but I simply drilled new holes and it worked flawlessly. Once the hoses pass through the hole in the new flange, a two-piece collar secures them in place using 15mm x 3mm magnets. This seals off any gaps. A third hole awaits a coax cable entering my coach; I'll seal it further with silicone. I sourced these magnets from Amazon at https://amzn.to/2M9DxQE. When ready to depart, and the hose and coax are coiled up and stowed away, a matching cover goes over the flange. This cover also features 15mm x 3mm magnets that snap into place. To remove it, simply push it sideways.
