Location: Tomball, TX		My '94 4 Star has extruded aluminum sides - not the wavy style but more angular (not sure how to explain this). How do you install an external gravity-fed water inlet hatch (to the fresh water tank) and seal it off on the outside of the trailer? Does there need to be a frame on the inside to attach the inlet hatch?

Location: Penrose, Colorado		most I have seen from your description are mounted as solid as possible and then caulked in to seal it, that is the way my power plug in is on our trailer.

Location: Tomball, TX		Thank you, kooner. Finally figured out how to upload a proper-sized photo. Looks like it will need a lot of caulk.

Location: Tomball, TX		beeoerdog where would I find those spacers and would just any inlet hatch work (depending on what appeals to me) :)
