Question:
Hi, Im looking for a cable hatch for use with a standard 12/3 gauge extension cord not 30 or 50 amp cords. You have a lot of options for the larger power cords but I cant narrow my search to a smaller hatch. Thank you

Hey Tim!
Our hatches are typically used by people needing the bigger RV cords which is why we don't have anything smaller.
The Valterra Cable Hatch # A10-2137BKVP you're looking at has the 1" opening, and the only thing smaller is the Valterra # A10-2143BKVP which has a 3/4" opening.
Will the smaller 3/4" opening work better for your setup?

Yes, I believe the 1" will work thanks for the suggestion. Tim

Still bigger than I need. Id like to avoid cutting a 3" hole. Just need enough room to pass thru a 3 prong extension cord. Thx
