Propane Tank Covers

[gwbillett]

So I noticed the other day that the plastic cover for the Propane tanks just sits over them. I ended up putting a small bungee cord from one side to the other underneath in the middle as there was 2 small tabs with holes in them. Now if this is why those where there I'm not sure.

Question is what does everyone else do? Do you leave them on or take them off and if you leave them on how do you secure them to the trailer. I sure would hate to look in the mirror and see this black rocket ship take off between the truck and the trailer

They sit in there pretty tight and they shouldn't blow off. The last 2 trailers I had we went many miles with them and never had a problem. The only thing I hate about them is the seams as it's a great place to cut your fingers.

My Passport came with a small bungee cord that goes below the tanks, front to back.

They say they won't blow off but I put a small bungee on the same tabs. It only comes off if a tank is empty.

I lost that small door on top. Had to order a new one. I never use it, I pull the cover off when I want to get in there.

I know what you mean about that small door....lol I've been wondering just how long it might last on there. The two nuts that thread on seem to do ok and maybe the old ones just clipped in I dunno know.

Mine,too. Doesn't seem like it would ride like that, but it does.

We were told to secure the tank cover with a small bungee during our familiarity tour. We did (I crimped the hook on one end onto the tab) but have driven many miles since then and it hasn't moved an inch the whole time. As to the door on top we were told to keep it hinge forward, which we do.

Ours came with the little bungee cord, and in 5k mi it hasn't come off unless I take it off.
