Looking for replacement propane cover
Does anyone know where I can find a replacement propane cover for a 2013 Cougar with the aerodynamic front end? One of the strap spots broke off recently and the whole cover is flopping around badly.
Thanks in advance!

Trekwood does not appear to have one, so I would call a local dealer who sells Keystone products and give them your VIN and see what they can do. They may or may not be able to help. They were able to track down a LED puck light for me on my 2014 this summer, but could not get me some other interior pieces.

Do you have the broken off piece? If so, it and be reattached with a little repair work.
Is it fiberglass? If so, a boat repair shop could fix it.

It would be best to actually call Trekwood, they have much more available than their website will show.

Even if you don't have the piece I'm sure a good shop could repair the fiberglass section... more than one type of hold down strap available to replace the missing one... that cover has to be god awful expensive I'd guess.. then paint to match? Very expensive...

Good call, I did not realize that Javi. And yes, I would attempt to have it repaired before I did anything else.

There are a "boat load (pun intended) of fiberglass hatches and covers" on any boat. Latches break all the time. Any marine repair facility is "well schooled in fiberglass repair" and can repair your propane cover and/or modify it to assure you don't have the same type of issue again.
I'd guess that cover is in the $2,000 range, so unless you really REALLY want a new one, I'd advise to find a local fiberglass repair (boat dealer) shop and fix what you have. It'll be cheaper and probably more durable than a new one.

Not to mention the shipping from Trekwood would be ABSOLUTELY ridiculous, it's bad enough for small stuff, on something this large.

Additionally, 2013 was, I believe, the last year that Keystone used "color molded fiberglass" rather than automotive paint on the front caps. So, there's no way a "new, never sun-faded" propane compartment cover is going to match the front cap (that has been exposed to 7-8 years of UV fading)... So, to have a new cover "somewhat match" will probably require a complete front cap repaint.
