Have to chime in. I had to deal with the same issue at the same location on my coach. Tried the "Well nuts" which leaked. There are fiberglass reinforcements behind the panel in that area which makes it a challenge. I ended up using what are called "jacknuts" or "expansion nuts". These worked great. Used them on all the ladder holes. Fortunately for me, a friend had the tool to collapse the nut. Without the tool you will need a threaded rod to screw into nut, then slide a piece of tubing over the threaded rod, then a flat washer, then a standard nut which you use collapse the nut wings that are behind the fiberglass after pushing the nut and wings into the hole. I also put a gob of duck seal behind the flange of the jack nut. This will all be a lot clearer once you put your hands on one of these nuts. I'm confident you will be happy with the results. Good luck.
