Propane tank cover

I'm looking for a new propane tank cover. I've seen the camco one online where the top has an opening that flips up so you can access the valves, but on other campers, I've seen the type where the whole top of the cover hinges up. kind of like opening a chest. But I can't seem to find a pic or a place on line that shows them.

Any ideas.

Thanks,
Nick

    That's the one I was looking for but it's way out of my price range...:-(
    Thanks
  • I bought the one with the door on top. Be advised that the design leaves holes exposed and rain readily leaks in. I ended up covering the hinge holes with Gorilla tape but wouldn't of had to if it was an intelligent design.
  • I just cut a hole in mine. It works great and you can only see it if you know it is there. Super easy to open and close the valves.
  • Got the cover with the trap door on top but find it easier/faster to just lift the cover off than unlatch the trap door
    Good Luck, Mike
  • I have a standard cover and just cut a hole in the back to reach the knobs. Works for me.
  • I have this on my wish list for next season.

  • The one that came with my trailer is like the one they sell at camping world that has the little trap door in the top so you can flip it open to gain access to the valves. Very handy.
