I needed a solution that would enable me to plug in my EV at my girlfriend's apartment without having to prop open her door to get to the dryer plug. This has been just the device I was looking for. I took a 1 x 6 pine board, cut to the width of the window above the dryer. Drilled a hole and screwed this into place. Used AC insulation foam around the board and closed the window on top of it. No draft and the door stays secured while the car charges right outside. Works perfect!!

Like another previous reviewer, I bought this as part of my 50-amp garage installation to support my new EV. I live in a 100+ year old midtown home with detached garage. Rather than dig a 3-ft trench across my entire large backyard, including tearing up my patio, I opted instead to purchase a 100-ft RV extension cord to run to my garage.To avoid cutting a hole into the cinderblock walls, I bore a hole into the soffit behind the gutters on the underside of the overhanging roof. Initially, I used steel wool to prevent rodents entering while I shopped around for the right part to plug the hole. Searching the web for cable organization solutions and other plugs, grommets, hatches, what have you, I eventually came across this cable hatch. It claims a 3.5" diameter, which was the size I needed for the female plug I had to fit through it. However, due to its construction and the vermin door, this measurement is not quite accurate. Every 50-amp cord I looked at had an L-shaped plug end, so beware, THIS HATCH DOES NOT SUPPORT A STANDARD 50-AMP CORD.I had to modify the part to make it work. Using my brand new and therefore still very sharp garden sheers, I cut into the long end of the hatch along one side, allowing me to bend the hatch vermin door open wide enough to squeeze the extension cord through. Amazingly, the part is quite sturdy so that it withstood the abuse. Once the hatch was plugged into the hole in the soffit, the cut I created had no impact on the overall effectiveness of the solution. I left the steel wool above the cable hatch just in case, screwed the hatch to the soffit, and closed the hatch, which fit snug as a glove.The one-star deduction is a result of the misleading dimensions and fit claims, and the extra work I had to go to to modify the hatch for my needs. I still have no idea what the actual intent is for this part in an RV application, but if you are looking to modify your garage to take in an EV extension cord, you can make this work. If you can find a bigger hatch, that might be advisable.

While it may fit a 30 or 50 amp wire, cord, Pay close attention to the size of the plug on the end of your cord, because I found my 30 amp camco power cord plugs will not fit through the opening. Sent it back

This worked for what I needed but quality of material is very thin. Will see how it weathers and how long it last. I used it as a place to get a electrical cord to a shed.

When a gluing the plastic structure to the side of the camper do not close the lid while glue is wet it will glue the door shut

Old factory one was brittle from sun damage and the door was broke off… Worked out great and looks better too!.. The price is great and it’s well made!

Good quality, much better than the factory installed one.

It is easy to retro fit this unit onto any RV as long as you have the same diameter.

THe cover does not completely close to keep out the weather.

That hatch is very sturdy, looks like it's gonna last no problem. Was a perfect replace,ent for my old a brittle one on my RV. Installation was a breeze. Very happy with my purchase.
