Magnetic RV hose inlet utility hatch cover

thingiverse

Remixed from 2manytoyz cover. I designed each file myself in fusion just to get better with the program and have more fun. I decided to switch the magnets on the insert from the top to the bottom so that there's no large piece protruding up and interfering with my dump pulls. Everything fit perfectly, though if i was to re-print this I would probable scale up the base plate by maybe 5-10%. The screw holes didn't line up perfectly, but I was able to just drill new holes and it fit fine. Once the hoses are dropped through the hole in the new flange, a two piece collar goes on the hose. It uses 15mm x 3mm magnets to clamp it in place. This closes off the gap. There is also a third hole to be used for a coax cable coming into my coach and I will then apply some silicone to seal the hole better. Here's where I bought the magnets: https://amzn.to/2M9DxQE When ready to leave, and the hose coax will be coiled up and put away, a matching cover goes over the flange. It too has the same type of magnets, and it snaps in place. To remove it, just push it sideways.
