How to Properly Measure for Cut-Out Dimension
There are two main dimensions you need to know when choosing a replacement access door or adding a new one to your RV:
The cut-out diameter is the width of the circle needed to ensure the access door mounts flush to the wall of your RV.
The mounting depth is the depth needed behind the mounting surface for the access door's hatch to properly fit.

Today we're going to be taking a look at the Valterra Electric Cable Hatch for RVs. This is for use with RV electrical cables up to 30 amps. It does come with the installation putty tape and necessary hardware. You'll notice that the screw heads are painted to match the color of the hatch. The hatch door is able to swing open, so we have this small door right here. That swings out of the way. That's going to allow your cable to pass through with the main hatch door closed.
That's the nice rotating door. Then you can see here that this one swings open as well to expose the larger hole. That's also going to help keep unwanted items out of the stored area when the cable is not being used. Taking a look at the overall dimensions, starting with the width, the widest point we're looking at about 4". Measuring the height we're looking at about 4-1/4. The overall depth from the very front of the unit to the very back is going to be about 2-1/8".
This does require a cutout at the mounting location. That cutout needs to have a diameter of around 3". Then that area is going to give us a depth of pretty close to 1-13/16", maybe 1-7/8, right in that area. The unit is made from a durable black plastic construction. You can see that it has 3 mount holes. These mount holes down here are separated on center by 3".
Then the diagonal measurement between the top and the bottom holes, that's going to measure on center about 3-3/8". If we swing this door out of the way, this small hole right here is going to have a diameter of around 3/4". The large hole has a diameter of around 2-5/8 and a depth of about 1-7/8". That's going to do it for today's look at the Valterra Electric Cable Hatch for RVs.

Items are reasonably priced and delivered on time. The customer service is about as good as it gets! These days, that kind of service is in short supply. Thank you!
The cable cover replaces our broken one on our 2005 TrailManor. The cover is an exact replica of our cover, and seems to be good construction. As it came with both the screws to mount it, and putty to seal it from weather, we are quite pleased with it. And the price was very good.

Comes with butyl caulk which needed for the installation. No issues installing - just need a big hole saw. I bought stainless screws for the installation as I was installing in aluminum wall material.
I am using this product to bring my satellite receiver wire down through the roof and out through the rear of the coach . The cable hatch is well made and perfect for this application. It even came with sealant tape to make the installation water tight. As usual, a great item from etrailer.com.
As always, etrailer came through with a quality part that actually matches the description. I like shopping at etrailer.com because they are so customer oriented that it just doesn't make sense to shop anywhere else. I find their video's very helpful and I appreciate their followup on my deliveries. A quality company that has outstanding customer service.
My shipment was lost in the transfer from UPS to USPS. I had visited with my local post office and got no where. I submitted back to etrailer that my shipment was lost in transit. Nikki R. was great to work with. She is one of the best customer representatives I have ever had dealings with. I know my order was small but she was great to work with. Thanks again to Nikki!
Worked perfectly to replace the broken electric cord cover on my horse trailer.
Good value for product purchase. On time delivery. I recommend etrailer for your trailer needs.
Perfect replacement, screws fit exactly from old hatch. Thanks
Love it!
