Propane regulator cover

My rv propane regulator cover broke (white plastic) while I was cleaning the PUP for a trip. Replacement cost online is less than $3, but is it necessary to replace now or can it wait a week?
  • Put a baggie over it...just so the vents (small pin hole on 1st stage/larger-screen one on 2nd stage) are protected from elements (dirt/debris etc.).
    Vents need to be free and clear so diaphragms can move.

    It can wait a week, Month, Year, Decade, no rush.

    I grew up with Propane (3 buildings and an oil well pump) all the regulators were open to the elements, not one was covered. The cover is cosmetic.

    However on a travel trailer... I would cover for protection from road debris.
