PLASTIC Be GONE! New Water Fill Door in SS
This complete's the "deplastization" of my exterior. Replaced: WH Door with SS, Vent with SS, Furnace door with SS, all exterior electrical inlets with Furrion SS, AND today: the dreaded water fill -- which (as already posted) just became available in SS. OK, around $200 (including shipping), but WORTH it. For those who want to do the water fill, it was slightly too large, had to cut about 1/32" from the panel. Also, it would have been nice if the factory and given me just about another inch of plastic vent line. Photos of fill door and Furrion...

Barry, I think I told you about the two sure-fire ways to tell you're getting older.
The first is, you can't remember anything.
The second one is... Umm... err,--
Let me get back to you...

I wholeheartedly agree with you! And - I'll likely have them installed when I visit the mothership and stuff my anger down deep while handing them a check with a smile :-)

Just a suggestion....I always fill my tank till it overflows. I would suggest using parbond to seal the backside around the fill neck, the vent neck and the 2 rivets that keep the fill neck strap in place. This will prevent any water from back-flowing between the walls. Not sealing won't allow a lot of water in there, but I don't even like a few drops getting to the floor and c-channel.

Look at airstream.com in their stainless steel upgrades, and you should find it on the second page.
