Am I the only guy that has done this-- more than once?

What's wrong with this picture?

You either cross threaded the access hole. Or you have a cable that can't be shut because of the door?

 

[HikerBob]

If it's the access hole. I turn mine in reverse so it sets itself properly on the threads .

Remove the cover and run the plug and cable down the hole then reinstall the cover unless the cover is aluminum and they’re worried it will cut the cable

Wet and Electric in the same bay?

That was my thought.
I would also clean the threads on both.

The wet bay is really where the fresh water comes in. Those recessed covers can be a pita, especially after being in place for a while. They're commonly used on kayaks. I keep the threads greased on mine.

Newmar got the bright idea to just notch the bin so the shore power doesn't need to be fed through a hole, and the door can be closed completely and locked.

I don't have that notched opening for the power cord... I get to pull mine up thru the poop tube opening...

A few things.... silly game, why do you ask?

Yes, I love this feature on Newmar, among others.

I must be an outlier, never once had I thought, “ feeding this thing down through that hole is hard, I wish there was an easier way”. Apparently there is.

The latter!

Meant as a joke given I thought my stupidity would be obvious. I gry everything connected and on-- power/sewer/water-- and go to close the bay door only to realize the power cord wasn't inserted through the access hole and the door can't close.

One would think if this happened once that you'd never do it again, but...

(also, as a general note there are no threads on the access hole for water/power but the cover on the waste access hole does have threads)

Similar to Newmar, I added a power cord notch to my Landau. It sure beats wrestling a 50 amp cord down through a port.

We would only think that until we did it a second time.

I usually do it with the water
