Cable Hatch for 50 amp plug with handle

I replaced the plug on my shore cord with a Camco plug with the handle. The stock cable hatch is 3 1/2", I need a hatch with 5 1/2" for the plug to go through. Camco doesn't make a hatch for the plug and I can't find one big enough online. Can someone tell me where I can get the hatch I need? Thanks!!

    I did the same thing. To make it work I cut off part of the handle and a few of the "fingers" on the inside of the hatch. It is nice and snug but it fits.

    Thanks for your reply enblethen. I think you're probaly right. I've looked at a few of them and I'm sure they would work. Thanks again.

    Is your current one "round"? If it is you may need to change to a square one to get the larger cord connector in.
