I used to cut a three sided flap with the solid side facing forward. Made sure the opening was wide enough for my shoulders to fit up and into the bottom.Then once finished up inside to reseal the flap I bought 2 inch by 1/2 inch thick wood slat, cut that wood so one inch would lay inside the cut out and one inch would lay where the flap would be and used 1 inch screws to secure the flap back into place. I used 3 pieces of wood to secure the flap. Then used either a quality tape or ran a bead of weatherproof sealant along the slit. If and when I need to get back into that space, the screws were easy to remove and reopen the flap.I made 4 of these under my 5th wheel for repairing either plumbing or slide out rams.
