I found what I think is a great deal on ebay.
Dual tank cover in heavy duty vinyl for $10 including shipping!

The guy says that he has about 1000 of them.

Other places they are $20-30 PLUS shipping.

If that one's gone, just do a "Search" for:
RV Propane Tank Cover - New - Two 20 Pound



It automatically re-lists when it is sold.

Hey Wayne
I bought one of these covers and just installed it this evening. I got to say its a pretty nice addition to our PU and the price cannot be beat.

Thanks for the heads-up :sombraro:

We just installed our's too. Makes the trailer look "Cleaner"......:D

I like the fact that the bottom fits real tight. I just wonder how long it will stay that way.....;)

I suppose if worst cames to worst, I could take out the elastic and put in a draw string.

Thanks Wayne, I just ordered one. We have a new solid one for the Bantam, but I have to take it off to crank the crank (to raise and lower the trailer front). I guess I could have cut it down, but not sure that would have worked since Raymond ahd to put a new tray on last year and it fit differently. It is so close to the crank (I do not have one like yours). I will just move the new one to the Cabin A since that one is now stained and looks so dirty.
My concern is the zipper holding up.

The zipper is HD plastic. It's heavier than the ones used in the windows on the PU trailers. It'll out-live the tank cover by years.

If you are concerned about it sticking (which you shouldn't be) put a little Vaseline on the teeth of the zipper. I used to use those same zippers for building Bimini's and cockpit covers (dodgers) for ocean going sailboats. when they get crusted with salt, after a long ocean passage, they can get difficult. My suggestion is.....don't make long ocean passages with your trailer.... :p
