clarification

Thank you for your ideas. I understand I can slide a G10-2 in the hole and it will be a reasonable fit.

accessing the manifold

Is there a easy way to access the manifold from inside the trailer by removing the panel under the sink?
Can a guy remove the panel without too many other items having to be removed?
