Question:

When I tried to install this in the existing cable hatch hole, it was way too big and this plug doesnt cover the hole. I dont have room to drill a new hole. Is there a blank cover that uses the same screw holes as the existing BandB cable hatch similar to your part# A10-2135VP? If there is, I could then mount this power inlet over the blank cover.

We don't carry any kind of blank that could be screwed on but you could a hard plastic sheet from your local hardware store and cut it to fit over the hole and then drill out the correct sized hole for the Mighty Cord Replacement RV Power Inlet # A10-30INVP in it. with this method you could use the same screw holes that you already have as well.

I recommend using some butyl tape # AL28FJ and non-sag sealant # AL28KV on the plastic blank to prevent any water from leaking in and damaging your trailer.
