RV Cable Hatch Installation 

your helper Ripple was on point... again - LOL

Made it to the end of a video about cable hatches 😂 you could take a move from Blacktail videos and have people comment an either or question if they watch to the end lol

I think if the folks at Bushwacker see this video, they should include these access panels as standard equipment in the future. It’s always better to run wires and cables through the side rather than through an open door or up through the floor. Great video Brian, it was my pleasure to film it for you!❤️🎥

Cable hatch is a great idea ! Thanks !

I always stay til the end. This one got me thinking.... Hmm, I bet I could do that. Thanks for this one Brian.

Actually, the Amazon link in your description for the hatch led me to another product I was thinking of, an exterior outlet the plugs directly into and inverter on the inside!

Oh c'mon brother, who doesn't watch every video of yours to the end? Good work bro. The hatch does offer a lot of flexibility. Gee, thanks for making my project list longer. I need to finish my 'never empty rain water IBC' project first (float switch will trigger the well water source to fill the IBC if no water (rain or well water) is avail for the irrigation).

I've thought about this for a long time. You've made it make too much sense not to attempt it. Thanks - another project!!

Great video. I was wondering how to put a solar generator power cable from inside my trailer to the outside plug. This looks like it will work great.

Quck tip, when drilling a hole with a hole saw. I like to drill the pilot hole first then put the hole saw back on the arbor and drill the hole. This keeps the saw from grabing when the pilot hole is drilled. Sometimes this can break your wrist. ( As an old pipefitter I had to drill way to many holes. lol)

Great video! I just bought bluetti 200 max for my travel trailer and was trying to figure a way to keep it out of the elements.

Will attempt this gem of a modification in a few weeks. I agree about keeping power stations in the interior of the teardrop as opposed to in the vehicle. Thanks, Brian.

This is one of the best “how to” RU-vid videos I’ve seen. The info you gave was excellent but you also didn’t spend a lot of time at the beginning of the video rambling on and on about stuff no one cares about. Which for me is super frustrating. You got straight to the point and I loved that. You also explained everything very well. Thanks for the info.

Another great video thanks

Can always count on you! Thanks for the info

Another great video Brian, thank you. Lookin' good Ripple, keep on waggin'!

Well I made it to the end of a video on cable hatch installations :) Brian, as much as I used to nerd out on my BW and once I saw this... yeah, total forehead-slapper moment for me, doh! And yes, hanging a little camplux or the like portable water heater off the side is an awesome upgrade. I picked up a 10' QC propane hose for mine so I could run it off the propane port, easy-peazy. As for plumbing I teed in under the galley, out through the floor and had a 1/4 turn hose bib mounted outside and below-left on the frame and everything used the same QC water fittings. Nothing fancy, just the basic plastic garden hose ones from the big box hardware stores. Super handy for even when the water heater wasn't in use. I did worry a few times about the short run of line freezing up so had I done it your way that'd been moot. A word of advice on that though. Do spend a bit more and get the reinforced vinyl. It's pricey but it holds up to abuse and maybe a little freezing. You may notice BW used the same from the tank to the pump. Oh and a bit off-topic, with that water heater rig, a couple of nights where it was going to dip to mid to upper 20's I did a makeshift "tank heater". Basically I just fed the output of the water heater back into the tank fill and let it run for a bit. I know that was pushing my luck but it was all the water I had and I was out there and hadn't been prepared for the weather dipping that low. Worked in a pinch but I don't recommend it instead of properly dealing with water when it can freeze, which in the case of the BW is don't carry any in the system. Use jerry cans and keep 'em warm. Man do I miss that little trailer! I agree with the post below. Bushwhacker could take some inspiration from you.

Thanks!

Excellent as per the usual!

Good info Brian!

good job

I actually just ordered this to install on my 10hd

Brian, Your videos are invaluable I’ve been binge watching to glean info on power stations and solar! I just converted my battery system from 12v to two 6v batteries 😎 will you make a video on this because you have so much knowledge to impart? Thanks! Daniel

Hey Brian! Have you had any issues with water getting into your hatch door? Looking to install one as well and I don’t see any waterproof ones when they aren’t in use.
