For years I've been annoyed by the exposed electrical cable and water
connections behind the left rear compartment door on Coachmen coaches. On
our last trip, the electrical cable worked its way about 24" out of its
hidey-hole and would soon have drug the pavement.
Last week, I stumbled across a used external shower hose affair that I
bought many years ago to mount on the side of the 11 years gone 40'
Safari. It hit me that the solution to my utilities connections was at
hand, so I did the stuff shown here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3XquSIYjDleeFV4VmtzamlZcFk
I didn't cover well the internal modifications to they consisted of a
simply bent aluminum panel for the back, and re-working of some of the ABS
plastic into caulkable fillers. It's well sealed against varmints.
One of these days I'll get around to painting it to match the coach, but
for now, my problem is solved and I like the appearance better than before
even with the mismatch.
