Need propane tank cover recommendation

My new TT didn't come with a cover for the tanks.

I like the idea of not having to lift the cover unless changing the tanks like this one. Could just be because last rig was a hybrid and I'd inevitably forget to open the valve before popping out the bed.

Also do you use anything to hold your cover on? I never had an issue on the last cover but never hit 60MPH either.

That's the one I have. The lid stays on at 60 mph. And 70 mph. And 80 mph.
You can have the cover open the opposite way, if need be.

You might be able to make it fit tighter over the cylinders by spreading the the cylinders apart a little more before tightening the cylinders down.

#1Nobby and mobeewan are both correct.

I have the same type on my camper. However, I turned mine around so the flip-top lid lifts from the front and is hinged in the back. It's easier to see inside the hole that way.

I also turned my regulator completely around giving more space for it under the cover.

Nice thing about those covers, they don't cost a whole lot. So if they begin to fade, discolor, or anything, they are easily replaced.

Separate the tanks more, and yes, they will never come off when traveling.

My cover is similar and has a tiny bungee cord near the bottom. No problems so far.

I have the same one. We have drug the trailer literally all over the US and to Alaska in all kinds of weather. The top door has never opened and the cover has never come off.

I have one like the picture. I drilled a small hole on the bottom of the cover and put a spring in the holes from one side to the other. I did have one blow off several years ago but only one in over 55 years of towing RVs

I have the same, Mine has two tabs with hole in them at the bottom, I hooked three large zip ties together and that keeps them from leaving. One note, My first set was faded so I bought a black set,,,Bad move they faded extremely fast, back to white one now.

I have one just like that in black. When I first bought my trailer I was worried about it coming off and used a bungee cord. Then one day I forgot the bungee after cleaning the trailer. Wouldn't you know, two years later and it still hasn't come off. lol.

On a side note I pulled my tanks off today to take some measurements and saw that the tank tray is just 'screwed' to the tongue frame. Okay they're self tapping screws but still a little schlocky. I'm amazed these things don't blow apart running down the road...

I know I'm pointing out the obvious, but make sure your tanks are 20-pounders so that this particular cover you linked will work. A lot of trailers use 30-pounders. That is a good price if your tanks are 20's. I have the same cover and I do like it, and have never felt the need to tie it down but it does have tabs on the bottom edges to tie it down with if you want.
