Swess RV Cord Storage Hatch — 8 x 8.5 in White Compartment Door with Lock & 2 Keys, Weather-Resistant

Swess RV Cord Storage Hatch with two keys is a weather-resistant replacement compartment door that secures and organizes your camper’s electric power cable and hose.

If your RV’s exterior cord hatch is cracked, loose, or missing, this Swess 8 x 8.5 inch white compartment door provides a simple, durable swap-out. Molded from corrosion-resistant plastic with a smooth, easy-clean finish, the hatch protects cords from rain, dirt, and UV exposure while giving you lock-and-key security for peace of mind at campsites and storage lots.

How does the Swess hatch protect my power cord from the elements?

The hatch design creates a sealed barrier between the outdoor environment and the storage cavity, reducing direct exposure to moisture and debris. Its corrosion-resistant plastic resists water damage and keeps the access opening tidy and functional over time.

• Durable white plastic resists rust and discoloration
• Smooth surface wipes clean of mud and salt spray
• Solid fit with screw-mount flange to reduce gaps

Will this hatch fit my RV and is it easy to install?

The Swess compartment door matches a common 8 x 8.5 inch exterior opening and includes eight screw holes for a secure, straightforward replacement. Installation is a basic DIY task: remove the old hatch, align this unit, and fasten the screws; the open-back design lets you access the interior while mounting.

• Fits openings approximately 8 in wide by 8.5 in high
• Eight mounting holes for stable attachment
• Open back for easy access to cord compartment during install

What security and convenience features does the hatch offer?

Each hatch ships with two keys so you can lock the compartment and deter unauthorized access to your power cable or hose. The keyed latch keeps cables secure when parked in public areas and provides simple one-handed operation when you need quick access.

• Includes two metal keys for locking the latch
• Latch designed for frequent opening and closing
• Non-proprietary design works as a practical replacement part

What materials and maintenance should I expect?

Constructed from weatherproof plastic, the hatch needs only occasional cleaning and basic care to remain functional. Avoid harsh solvents; a mild detergent and water will remove grime while preserving the finish and fit.

• Corrosion-resistant plastic withstands outdoor conditions
• Surface cleans easily with soap and water
• Designed for long service life with minimal upkeep

Who this product is for: RV owners, camper van enthusiasts, and trailer technicians who need a reliable, lockable replacement for a damaged or missing power cord hatch. It’s especially useful for those who prefer a straightforward DIY swap-out with durable materials, a neat exterior appearance, and the added security of keyed access.
