Water hole is a wonderful innovation for dog in RV but ours has a non-fitting lid. It only seals about two thirds of the way around the bowl. Is this normal?

No. It seals all the way around and only pops off if run over (ours by a loader dish is a little oblong now)
1023716
No. We have used water holes for years with no problems. The lid is stiff and snaps on tight, maybe you are not getting yours on all the way? The lid will eventually start developing cracks but only after years of use. Sounds like you might have gotten a faulty one or you are not getting the lid on all the way.

I don't think this is normal. I purchased 3 of them for various locations, including the car. I do not have that problem with any of them.
1023718
No, this is not normal. It should seal all the way around the bowl, Mine does.

My dog bowl lid fit just fine, but not until I soaked it in warm water. Tupperware suggests the same treatment of their lids.

No mine covered the entire bowl and was easy to snap on and off. I think that you received the wrong lid.

I got a top that I had to squeeze on. Eventually its working. But I would return the top and the bottom if they wouldn't work together. Bill

I'm checking out this bed because it's waterproof (or supposed to be). How did your dog urinate through the waterproof cover? Is it not what it claims to be?

Seems to be a common problem with this unit. If you look closely there are two holes on the bottom. Mine started leaking from one of those. A safety feature perhaps, but seems to be a flaw also. I ended up replacing mine! It started leaking about 14 months after purchase. I used it every day.

I just screwed the lid on like any bottle or sippy cup. I did not over tighten or under tighten. Just snug. Then they suck on the edge and it comes out. I tried it.... Works great. My 4 and 6 year old kids want one too. I have not tried milk in it yet but it should be fine. No leaks that i have seen.

We have not had a problem with the lid. This is our second one, the first we had over 6 years and just wanted an 'upgrade' with the basket style. Perhaps the inserted basket to catch the fall off is not properly installed. If the lid is not closing, that sounds like a manufacturing defect and possibly could be contained to only a few units. We like it because of the large capacity and overall functions. I shopped for a capable product and ended up with T-Fal again. For us, it by far is the best buy for what we use it for. Good Luck

Hum, not sure. I do the hole in the other end, but not sure that is the problem. You are putting the lid on, right? If so it might just be a defective unit.

I put mine in a ceramic bowl, then microwaved for a few seconds to fit the new bowl. ( so water wouldn't get trapped below it )

Mine did not come with a vent hole plug, so I am assuming you are referring to the metal liner twisting. After I had used mine a few times, the inner metal liner twisted a bit, making it appear that the vent hole was closed. However, I determined that there is a space between the cover and the metal liner in the lid, so even though it twists so that the holes don't line up, it is still able to vent through the holes because of that space. I've been using mine for going on 2 years now with no trouble whatsoever.

I just filled a small ball jar more than 1/2 way with water, tightened the lid and shook the heck out of it. No spills or leaks! Then I set it sort of upside down in a bowl (like it fell over in your bag) - Its been about an hour - no water in the bowl! There is no gasket but I think it'll work.

It leaks pretty bad after a while, and it should say "collapsing" dog bowl because thats what it does rather than being collapsible,which would imply it collapsed when you wanted it to. Check out the telescopic silicone type bowls. They weigh a bit more but by far are the better bet.

Yes, the lid is water proof and fits snug. The entire blue flap opens to allow access to food. The only draw back is occasionally you will have to assist the food in sliding down. My dogs are gentle eaters and the box does not move. Although one of my dogs have figured out that bumping the flap a few times produces food. He weighs 125 pounds! Lol....

Mine does not fit snug, but there is no gap. You won't get the proper temperature if it doesn't fit right. There should be a rubber gasket on the edge of the lid.

The hole is too small, I think. You know when you open a can of sweetened condensed milk and you need to open a hole on both sides of the can so it will pour easily? With this lid, you'd only have one hole and it'd "glug-glug-glug" and not pour smoothly.

The clear plastic insert attached to the bottle is supposed to fit inside the bottle lid. I have two bottles and when lid is screwed on there is no leakage on either one. I wonder if there is a defect with the clear plastic insert or the lid. You might check to see if the clear plastic is inserted rightly into the bottle. I have tested mine a few times after reading this, and mine are both sealed tight when lid is screwed on. You might contact seller. I am very pleased with my product.

It sounds like you may be missing the seal. It's a little round white/clearish piece that is between the lid and and the tip up piece.

No - I have two and have been very pleased. The lid is a "stretch to fit" silicon lid than seals quite well.

We love our hose and it is the best we have ever seen. My husband says it must be missing the "O" ring inside the female connector that attaches to the motorhome/trailer. Without the seal, it will be loose. It shouldn't be used until the seal is in place.
