Volk, to ease the cover install add the upgrade he shows in the pic, nothing more than a half moon piece of 1/8” steel welded in with a hole drilled thru for a screw as a stop point for the latch. It’s soooooo much easier to install the cover with this design change. If you have a welder it’s a quick fix, if you don’t I would imagine a welding shop wouldn’t charge much. They’ll have scraps of metal laying around big enough to weld in.
My major malfunction was forgetting to latch it, not any design flaw...

wish i could say otherwise.
Had to buy another 15' of sewer hose to reach at an odd site.
I almost left it due to lack of storage for it, and paid WAY too much for it at the camp store. Then I remembered *someone* here putting in the spare.

whoever you were!!
I put it in there, hung the cover.....and got distracted talking with friends as they departed.

Wasnt on the checklist back then.
But anyway, loose nut behind the wheel was the problem.

Tire Plugs... I put in 1-6 a DAY at work, everything from loader tires to golf carts to mowers to autos/light trucks.
Safety Seal kit is a must, sharp reamer and sturdy construction. I put 3 plugs in at once to patch a 22.5 semi tire after pulling the bolt out of the tire. Got him back to the yard! Tough Tools.
Quality plugs from North Shore Labs...Parent of Safety Seal. Made in USA and the BEST. Do not settle for less. (Me and tire plugs...like Ron and slides..)
