No access door to open to give you a little more room??

Try, Wiping it down with silicon lubricant. Follow up with dry towel.

if I'm understanding ur question, no. it's just a 5x5 box, that is very deep, with
a door u close when not in use.

Hi,

Many of us have cut off the cord and put a male plug on it. Then we go to Walmart and get a new 30 foot cord to use.

30 amp rv plug

There is one advantage of the "mouse-hole" -- if you want to run another 15-20 amp device, you can thread another extension cord through that hole so you can have another electric heater.

Of course, there are advantages of cutting it off and putting a male plug on it. The "mouse-hole" does attract vermin, so sealing it off is one less place critters can get in.

If you do put a male plug on it, make sure you get a marine grade connector and do it right, so it isn't a place water can enter.

I'll bet it's a real bear when it's cold.

If you actually have a 5x5 hole just put a 180* bend in the electric line and put the "U" in the hole and push. When that runs out put in another "U", etc. Mine goes in a 1 inch hole and I have a time getting it in. Sometimes I have to pull out 2-3 feet and try again.

Another vote for cutting it off and putting a male end on.

We cut the cord, put a female on the loose end and a male on the attached end. We have to plug the cord into a wall plug inside that little space if we want to use the generator. We store the 30amp cord in another larger compartment. We store our TV cable in that space and it is much easier now.

It was always a struggle getting the 30 cord back into that small space. Don't know why they made such a small space for such a thick stiff cord.

Hi Rolin,

Anything to save a dime.

As you place the corde in the oppening twist and turn the cord so that it corck screws into the hole instead of trying to push it in.

It should look like a tight coil inside the box, I have a Coachmen Catalina Sport and that is how I coil the cord in, it takes a few times to get the hang of it.
