Location: Tomball, TX | My '94 4 Star has extruded aluminum sides - not the wavy style but more angular (not sure how to explain this). How do you install an external gravity-fed water inlet hatch (to the fresh water tank) and seal it off on the outside of the trailer? Does there need to be a frame on the inside to attach the inlet hatch? |

Location: Penrose, Colorado | most I have seen from your description are mounted as solid as possible and then caulked in to seal it, that is the way my power plug in is on our trailer. |

Location: Tomball, TX | Thank you, kooner. Finally figured out how to upload a proper-sized photo. Looks like it will need a lot of caulk. |

Location: Tomball, TX | beeoerdog where would I find those spacers and would just any inlet hatch work (depending on what appeals to me) :) |
