Tired of losing end caps and hoses.
Just purchased this item and basically am very satisfied. However, I would make 1 big suggestion to the manufacturer. Make the fitting that goes into the bumper tapered so that it will fit slightly different size bumpers. It was the exact same size as my bumper so I had to attach a couple of thin alum. angles to slide into bumper. I used rivets to secure them instead of the screws. Less chance of snagging the hose The whole installation would look so much better if they tapered slightly and would slide into bumper... but it works and I hope it will save me loss of caps and hoses and embarrassment.

2nd Review of this Item
I should have taken a trip with this before reviewing it the
first time. As stated before, it needs to be tapered to fit
slightly different size bumpers. Also, the latch mechanism
needs to be more secure. I had to stop several time and
close it. It is basically a good system, but needs some
refinement. I plan on attaching a small clasp to each end
so that I can be sure it won't come open. Product
definitely needs some improvement. Would not purchase it
again. Would just make my own... not a difficult project.

Installation was less than perfect
The OEM bumper plugs were working their way out every few hours and we needed something better to keep from loosing hoses.. I purchased this product about a week ago, but did not put them on until yesterday evening.
As delivered, the screws were positioned such that they would block getting the sewer hose
in and out of the bumper. The screws are supposed to be self drilling; however, they would
not drill into my bumper. After I drilled pilot holes close to the bumper corners, through the
Bumper Hatch and bumper, the screws went in and held nicely.
Thus far, the Hatches latch properly and look like they will keep the sewer hoses in the
bumper. It will take a few thousand miles in 100+ degree weather and several months of
exposure to Texas sunshine to tell how well the product stands up.

Glad I bought them
Excellent product at a reasonable price.
I put these on back in August after mislaying one of the originals that came with my
trailer. There had been wasps circling around that open end, so I shot a healthy dose of
wasp and hornet killer into both ends of the bumper, then pulled the hose out after about
15 minutes. Glad I did it that way, I pulled the remains of a wasp nest out with the hose. I
haven't had any insect problems since I installed these, nor have I lost any more covers.

Good product
I have had these on for about 8 months and several trips. I
like the way they work and they look good. I used silicon
to attach them instead of screws, very solid.

had to drill holes for screws
The included instructions to just screw in the screws were
kind of silly. All they do is push out the sides, and only
loosely hold the hatch on.
However, getting some metal-capable drill bits at Walmart
soon remedied that. Then easily screws in, seems reasonable
secure, though one side doesn't seem like it is as securely
held by it's little latch as the other. Will know the first
time I'm on the freeway or fast highway....

Love them!
I put a set of these on our previous bumper-pull trailer, and when we had our new 5th-wheeler at the dealer for warranty repairs and got it back with both bumper plugs missing (they wouldn't give me a new set even though they disappeared while on their lot). I stopped at Camping World on my way home from there and bought another set of these for the new trailer! I love them! However, I might point out that in the photos above they show them mounted on the trailer so that they open toward the back of the trailer, which is probably why many claim to have these fly open while on the road. I've mounted both of mine so that the hinge is toward the front of the trailer so that the wind won't pop them open while on the road. I did drill small pilot holes for the supplied screws and have not had a problem with them being in the way inside the bumper when sliding the hoses in.

Bumper hatch
I used these bumper hatches for 3 years and one hatch came open on the highway and I lost ALL of my hoses. I always snap it closed just to be sure, then it happened. I lost multiple hoses and I'm not an off road person with my trailer. The hatch, in question, does not snap closed anymore. If you buy this product be sure to add a safety clasp to keep door closed. Very disappointed.
