Outside shower holes

We don't usually make much use of our outdoor shower. I recently had it open at a campground, and at the same time DW opened her undersink cabinet on the inside to get some cookware, and was shocked to see how much daylight was flooding through that port.

I never bothered to look at the top of the shower insert, because it's way below my line of sight, but it looks like there is one large port in each upper corner that opens directly into the under sink compartment, losing heat or air conditioning, whichever you're using. One of them accommodates a stationary water line, so it would be simple to plug up, but the other one is used to feed the showerhead tube in and out of the shell as you use the unit.

I'm assuming someone has come up with some sort of rubber inserts or other standard mechanism to address filling up these holes while leaving them functional. Suggestions?

I found several such holes when I dug around under our Monty. For some I used some rigid insulation and cut it to size and wedged it in to plug the hole. For other, larger areas I used spray foam insulation. It eliminated the hot air flow I was getting into the rig in hot weather.

I would replace it with a unit that's has a solid backplate and the hose wraps around the faucet handles. The one piece sealed showers (I believe they are made by Dura Faucet) are the popular styles.

Probably not the right size, but it's a start:

Rectangular Rubber Grommet

Don't tell me rubber's gotten that pricey since the last election...!
For that, I could probably have the holes stuffed with mother of pearl!
