Not the worst, but certainly not the best.

I don't think I can't get a lot of stomach ache for the money I've spent. It installed fine, but I broke one of the inner plastic fingers while wiggling the fork, so my relationship with her didn't start well. It's pretty brittle. Due to the design, the outer valve can be easily separated from the main body. It snaps back into place just as easily. Losing it is more of a problem if I don't notice the outer valve on the bottom. It's terrible? no Will I upgrade by replacing it at a higher price…

Pros
  • GOLS certificate
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Ideal for the intended use

I wanted to add a hole to run an extension cord if I sometimes use the camper at home because I have nowhere else to plug it in. I installed it in the middle of the vault's outer door, sealed it and screwed it on. It works as expected and I no longer have to leave the entire vault door open to use the cable in my RV. I need to order another one for the interior to make it easier to use the cable without leaving the interior access door open to pull it into the camper.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Modern

This was the exact replacement for my application

It fits perfectly in the old hole and I was able to reuse the original screw holes to install it. After it was installed, I had an issue with it latching on the left side (left and right are locking tabs). I pushed hard to latch the left side and finally closed with a loud click, but I think the latch tab may have broken because it's pretty loose on the left side now. I did not check these tabs prior to installation and the trailer is now winterized so I cannot investigate further. 4 stars…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • No automatic

Cheap and works most of the time

I needed to replace a thin cover on my original electrical conduit entry and this cover worked for me. After removing the original and installing a new one, I was pleased with their appearance and the strength of the plastic. I installed it for about 3 weeks and only took the camper out once and one of the latch tabs broke after opening the latch only a couple of times. I won't be returning it as it takes a bit of work to remove the cable and then remove the plastic case. I'm hoping a tab will…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Hard to tell

GOOD FOR CARGO TRAILERS

UPDATED: I've only had this installed for a week and before I could tow a trailer the plastic light broke off on the hinge. As described in the first review, this thing is very thin and thin. I guess I should have bought a more expensive one and saved myself the trouble of installing another one. Not worth sending it back so I guess I just don't have the money. It's only been installed for a few days but seems to be working as advertised. The portion of the unit that resides inside the trailer…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires outlet
