The Dethleffs Electrical Inlet Replacement Cover (SKU SWLS1260) is a genuine OEM part designed to replace a damaged or missing lid on the 16 A shorepower inlet of Dethleffs motorhomes. It ensures protection against moisture, dust, and irritants, preserving the integrity of your external electrical inlet.

🧱 Build Quality & Design

Constructed from sturdy white ABS plastic, this replacement cover closely matches the original inlet housing in shape and texture. Its precise fit—engineered by Dethleffs—prevents rattling and maintains the aesthetic quality of the exterior panel. The hinged lip is designed for easy manual operation while keeping the inlet capped when not in use.

📐 Fit & Installation

Installation is straightforward: simply hinge the cover into the existing inlet housing. Since it's a direct OEM match, no modifications are required, making it suitable for all Dethleffs models with this style of shorepower inlet. This ease of replacement eliminates the need to buy the entire inlet assembly if only the lid is damaged .

🔧 Functionality & Durability

The cover offers reliable protection, helping to maintain IP44 water ingress protection and shield the inlet from external dirt—crucial for maintaining shorepower safety.
