Propane tanks cover

[MikeInOregon]

I just purchased a 2015 Creekside 20FQ. I noticed that the plastic propane tanks cover is not secured to the tanks or the trailer frame, it is being held down only by its own weight. It looks like an upward gust of wind could lift it up and off of the tanks. Should the cover be secured to the tanks or trailer frame?

My hard plastic cover that came with trailer was so tight there was no way the wind could have taken it off, because it took all I could do to get it off. Bought a new one that has hinged opening to access valves. It is looser but it still has never come loose. somewhere during my last trip home, I managed to loose the screws that hold the lid shut. I remember loosening sometime during the week to check tanks, but don't remember paying any more attention until I got home 600 miles and days later. The cover and lid were fine, just got to go find 2 new screws with latch top.

I do not like the plastic covers. I would get the hard covers if I was you.
You can always tie the plastic covers down

My propane tank cover has a plyboard hard top and the sides is some kind of material which has a sewn in stretch rope to keep it tight. It just slips over the two tanks.

Being directly behind my truck bed it probably doesn't get alot of wind...

Have a lot of highway roads miles on it since 2009 and all is holding in place.

Our propane cover has a small bungee cord at the bottom there should be 4 holes.

I purchased a new TT last year and the cover wasn't secure. The dealer rep said we could secure it ourselves, but most people just let the weight hold it down. After many trips without the cover being tied down, it never once moved. Because we usually lift the cover up for easy access to our WDH bars when we connect or disconnect our hitch, it's far more convenient not to have the cover secured down.
