Keep your dual propane tanks protected and your campsite looking clean. The Icon Direct 71-5788 Deluxe Propane Tank Cover is built from high molecular weight polyethylene with UV inhibitors that resist fading and cracking from sun exposure. A built-in hinged access door means you never have to lift the whole cover just to turn a valve or check the regulator.
Most RV propane tanks sit exposed on the tongue or bumper rack, taking the full force of UV rays, road grime, rain, and road debris. Icon's 71-5788 cover wraps both tanks in a rigid shell that holds its shape in heat and cold, keeping valves, hoses, and regulators clean and protected between trips and during storage.
At 31 inches wide, 13 inches deep, and 25 inches tall, this cover is sized to accommodate two standard vertical propane cylinders -- either the 20 lb or 30 lb size that are most common on travel trailers and fifth wheels. The hinged front door gives you quick access to the shutoff handles and regulator without removing the cover entirely.
Rigid HMWPE shell resists impact, warping, and UV degradation better than thin plastic or vinyl alternatives.
UV stabilizers mixed into the material -- not a surface coating -- help prevent color fading and brittleness over years of sun exposure.
Front door swings open for fast access to on/off handles and the regulator without lifting or removing the entire cover.
Interior dimensions accommodate dual 20 lb or dual 30 lb vertical LPG cylinders, the most common pairing on travel trailers.
Cheaper tank covers are often made from thin corrugated plastic or vinyl fabric that sags, fades, or cracks within a season. The Icon 71-5788 uses high molecular weight polyethylene -- the same material class used in cutting boards and industrial containers -- which gives the cover wall thickness and rigidity that holds up to highway speeds and prolonged outdoor storage.
The black color absorbs heat less than dark-tinted alternatives while providing a clean, neutral look that pairs with most RV exteriors. If your rig is white or light-colored, Icon also offers this same cover in Polar White (part 00386) for a closer color match.
The hinged door panel on the front of the cover lets you operate valves and check regulator connections in seconds. No lifting, no unscrewing, no fumbling with straps -- just open and go.
This cover is designed for dual vertical propane cylinders -- two tanks mounted side by side on a standard RV tongue rack or bumper bracket. The 31-inch width is the critical measurement: confirm your tank rack or tongue pad is no wider than approximately 30 inches between outer walls before ordering.
If black does not match your rig, Icon Direct part 00386 is the same deluxe cover in Polar White. Both share identical dimensions and construction.
The cover sets over your tanks from the top and rests on the mounting surface. No tools or drilling are typically required for basic placement. Most RV owners secure the cover to their tongue rack using straps or the existing bracket hardware to prevent road vibration from shifting it. Icon Direct does not include mounting straps in the box -- use UV-resistant cam buckle straps or zip ties through the provided openings if your application requires tie-down.
Rinse the cover with water and mild soap a few times per season to remove road film and oxidation buildup. Avoid petroleum-based cleaners, which can degrade polyethylene over time. Inspect the hinge area annually for stress cracks, especially if the cover is frequently opened and closed in cold weather.
This is a protective cover, not an airtight enclosure. Always turn off propane at the tank valve before long-distance towing. Never operate propane appliances with the cover fully closed over the regulator and valves.
