Propane tank cover, ADCO or CAMCO?

Realize the dimensions aren't quite accurate there. The Camco basically needs 1" off your tanks forward and rearward to fit - that's about the depth of the corrugations in the plastic profile that give the cover a friction fit to the tanks and provide rigidity to the cover. There is a mild bulge-out at the top of the cover in the center, both side, but would likely be above the top of your jack with 30# tanks (mine is). If needed, and what I have seen folks regularly do to fit around tall WDH hangers like Equal-i-zer's, you can easily notch the plastic out. To fit between my tongue jack - stupid Lippert design with the enormous plastic head not unlike yours - and my WDH brackets, all I have to do is gently pinch the cover in when I put it back on to slip behind the bracket. On my prior TT where I had an UltrFab tongue jack and replaced the original PVC cover that gave it up after 7 years, the Camco fit with inches to spare! :B

Sadly they all seem to be equally junky.

You can fit a hard cover on it. You just need to slide back the propane tank base. Nearly all are secured with self-tapping sheet metal screws. If you do that, the Camco 40542 is the 30 gallon polar white model.

Thanks for the tip. I'll take another look at it tomorrow. I think it would have to move back about 2" to clear the electric tongue jack. Then it may be bumping up against the chain lifts. I suspect I wouldn't be able to determine if it would fit unless I have the cover in my hand.
