Camco 50513 RV Propane Tank Cover, Dual 30 lb, White

The Camco 50513 RV Propane Tank Cover does one job and does it well. It shields a pair of 30-pound propane tanks from the stuff the road throws at them, and it keeps the sun off the bottles so they age slower. If you've ever pulled into a campsite and found your tanks caked in road grime, or watched the paint on your bottles chalk up after a couple summers, you already know why a cover like this earns its keep.

This one's sized for two 30-pound steel tanks mounted on the A-frame or tongue of your trailer. It slips right over the pair while they stay bolted down, so you're not wrestling tanks off their mount just to get it on. White polymer body. Clean look that matches most rigs without shouting for attention.

Here's the part we like. There's a hinged access panel built into the front. Flip it open and you get straight to the gas valve and the changeover valve without pulling the whole cover off. That matters more than it sounds. When you're swapping from an empty bottle to a full one on a cold morning, the last thing you want is to fight a cover just to reach the changeover. Open the panel, turn the valve, close it back up. Done.

The polymer is UV-stabilized, so it stands up to sun exposure better than a bare tank would. Bottles under a cover don't take the direct hit of UV all day, and that slows the chalking and fading you see on exposed steel. In hot, sunny climates you'll still want to keep an eye on things over the years, but the cover buys your tanks real protection from both debris and daylight.

Fit matters, so measure before you order. The cover runs 29-1/2 inches wide, 26-1/4 inches tall, and 15-1/2 inches deep. That footprint is built around a standard side-by-side pair of 30-pound bottles. Standard 30 lb steel bottles are the common dual setup on larger travel trailers and fifth wheels, so if that's your rig, this is likely the size you need. If your tanks sit in that arrangement, you're in good shape. If you're running 20-pound bottles or a single tank, this cover will be oversized, and you'll want one matched to that setup instead.

Installation is about as simple as RV gear gets. Set your tanks in their normal mounted position, drop the cover over the top, and line up the access panel with your valves. No tools required for a basic slip-on fit. Some owners add a strap or tie-down for extra security on rough backroads, and that's an easy addition if you tow washboard gravel often.

One more practical note. Because the cover keeps road spray and dust off your regulator and pigtails, your whole propane system stays cleaner, not just the bottles. A cleaner regulator is easier to inspect, and clean fittings are easier to check for leaks with a little soapy water. That's a small maintenance win every time you hook up.

Who's this for? Anybody running dual 30-pound bottles on a travel trailer, fifth wheel, or toy hauler who's tired of grimy, sun-baked tanks. It's a small upgrade that keeps your propane setup looking sharp and protects the valves and fittings from flying rock on the highway. For the money, it's an easy call.

What it's not: a locking security enclosure or an insulated box. It's a protective cover, plain and honest. If you need to secure tanks against theft or keep them warm in deep cold, that's a different piece of gear. For everyday road and weather protection with easy valve access, this Camco cover is exactly the right tool.

Cleaning is easy. The polymer wipes down with mild soap and water when it gets dusty from a season on the road. No special finish to baby, no fussy care. Just rinse it off when you're rinsing the rig, and it's ready for the next trip.
