  You have a non-Nautilus equipped TaB, right?
  
  Past posts suggest the 'factory flip door/cover' fill port is not available for public purchase.  Others owners have installed a completely new and different design filler port to solve 'factory' filler damage/lose.

  @pak - on our 2017 CSS, we replaced the broken flip style fresh water fill with this one at Amazon:

  Lost the cap for my fresh water fill spout. Went to dealer so far no help. Has anyone had this experience or have an idea where I might acquire a replacement. Thank you

  You don't say the year of your trailer, but if you have the fresh water fill that flips open (instead of a cap that screws on), I had to buy an entire new assembly to get the cover. I'm not sure if it's available anymore. It was a terrible design.

  
  

  I also bought an assembly with the screw on cap, but I wasn't able to get the old assembly out. It was glued in and didn't want to come out even with heat and prying. I was afraid that I'd damage the trailer sidewall if I kept at it.

  I have a 2017 CS-S. Looks like a new style is warranted. Sharon, the link you posted will not open. I suspect the problem is in my settings. Any assistance is appreciated, thank you.

  @pak, can you RIGHT click on the link, and then select "open in a new tab"? that is what I did to open it.  Mike

  @pak On my iPad, I touch and hold the link for it to open.  I think this was due to a Vanilla update a while back.

  Post script: I'm of the age and point where I am tired of fixing things.(end of rant..ha). I decided to see if I just might happen to get a replacement cap through my dealer. After awhile of " nope, that is not it" the parts guy found a part number and ordered the part. Well, the cap came along with the filler valve/spout. It was not a lot of money so I had ordered two. I popped out the cap and installed it on my filler spout. Now I realize sometime in the future I will find it necessary to replace the fill spout. At that time I will use a better designed filler as suggested from fellow t@bbers. Until then I will carry on. Thank you for your suggestions and recommendations.

  I found the Flapper type water fill cover on ebay.

  https://www.ebay.com/itm/254418234945

  They also have the "screw on cap" filler types.  But...both styles include the entire fixture.

  The item listed by 'pthomas' is the exact one I aquired through my dealer.
