Taking material off of the portion labeled in red didn't help. I finally chalked the locking portion of the hatch on the camper and put the adapter against it. It appeared that the locking flange on the adapter was too close to the cap of the adapter (sorry again for poor terminology). I took a brass wire brush in a dremel and removed some of the inside of the locking flange, and was able to get it to go on. I can't test it yet as it is too cold here to be dealing with water and hoses, but I think it's going to work.
I am designing one, i have it 90% complete. the issue, is the cap thread is ramped/pitches, the original design in this post, is not ramped, this is the issue. The problem right now, is I don't know how to make the ramp yet. Once I learn how to do it, it should work fine.
I will provide an update once I figure this out.
