Dethleffs Water Inlet Replacement Cover

🔧 What It Is & Why You Need It

This replacement cover restores the protective cap on your fresh-water inlet, safeguarding it from water, dirt, and debris. If your original cracked or went missing, an OEM cover prevents contamination and restores the inlet’s integrity at minimal cost.

📏 OEM vs. Universal Options

Dethleffs Water Inlet Replacement Cover (OEM)

• Pros: Specifically designed for Dethleffs inlets—exact fit, color match (white), and the same hinged mechanism.

• Best For: Owners wanting a seamless, original look and straightforward replacement.

SecureFix Direct Water Inlet Filler Cap (Universal)

• Pros: Lockable lid with two keys, protecting against tampering. 

• Cons: Slight risk of fit mismatch—measure your inlet diameter first.

• Best For: Those prioritizing security and convenience.

Seaflo RV Fresh Water Inlet Cap

• Pros: Budget-friendly, screw-on design, widely compatible with RV inlets.

• Cons: May not have the exact shape or hinged mechanism of OEM; tipping mechanism replaces hinge.

✅ Which One Should You Choose?

🛠️ Installation Tips

• Simply press-fit or screw the new cover into place—no tools needed.

• After installation, open and close it a few times to ensure smooth movement and a proper water seal.

• For lockable models, keep your keys handy and consider labeling them.

🧼 Maintenance

• Clean the cap and inlet regularly to prevent grime buildup that could hamper the seal.

• If the hinge feels stiff, apply a drop of food-safe silicone spray (for freshwater compatibility).

🎯 Final Verdict

For a perfect fit and finish, the Dethleffs OEM cover is your best bet. If you're after a secure, lockable option or a cheap replacement, SecureFix or Seaflo caps work well—just double-check compatibility with your inlet.
