I guess I won't complain about my gravity fill being on the curb side anymore.

You should have lined the inside of the fill with a razor blade.

Does it have a different key than all the other campers in the park?

I notice a wet spot under the trailer and notice something was coming out of the fresh water drain. I got under smelled piss and sourced it back to the fresh water drain. I then checked the fresh water gravity fill and I could smell the urine smell coming from it. I am going to change the tumbler so a can use a different key.

You would have to be pretty tall or carry a ladder to piss in a gravity fill inlet.

The lock looks good. Thought about that before, maybe we should all learn from your experience.

The gravity fill is 3 feet off the ground. No ladder needed.

I wouldn't worry too much about changing the lock key. Someone stupid enough to pee in the intake will see what you have and just walk on.

Here's another option if you have the 3-1/2 inch round cutout (lockable gravity water dish. second to last item on page) but you have to add your own padlock, and it looks like the plastic part that holds the lock could be easily cut.

I like it! No modification needed and even thought the plastic can be cut, it would still let you know if someone had been "messing" with it. Which is about all any of the compartment locking devices can do anyhow.

I always wondered why the outside shower had a lock on it but not the gravity fill on my trailer.
