Camco20 lb. Single TankMade in the USACamco 40565 Single 20 lb. RV Propane Tank Cover -- Black

Keep your 20 lb. propane tank clean, protected, and looking sharp at every campsite. The Camco 40565 is a purpose-built, two-piece polypropylene shell that wraps your standard 20 lb. cylinder and gives you convenient top-lid access to the gas valve and regulator -- no need to remove the cover just to connect or disconnect your supply line.

Purpose-Built Protection for Your 20 lb. Propane Cylinder

A bare propane tank strapped to the tongue or bumper of your RV takes a beating -- road grime, UV degradation, rain, and debris all accelerate corrosion on the valve assembly and tank body. The Camco 40565 surrounds your 20 lb. cylinder in a rigid, custom-molded polypropylene shell that seals out dirt and blocks damaging UV rays, extending the life of both the tank and the regulator hardware.

Assembly is straightforward: the two-piece shell goes together with the included screws and lock nuts, while bottom tabs and integrated bungee holes anchor the cover firmly around the base of the cylinder so it stays put on rough roads or windy sites.

Top-Lid Valve Access

Opening in the top lid lets you connect or disconnect the gas valve and regulator without removing the entire cover.

UV and Weather Protection

Heavy-duty polypropylene construction blocks UV rays and shields the tank from road debris, rain, and campsite grime.

Secure Two-Piece Assembly

Screws and lock nuts hold the shell together; bottom tabs and bungee holes lock the cover in place around the cylinder base.

Made in the USA

Manufactured domestically and backed by Camco's limited 1-year warranty for lasting reliability on the road.

What Fits Inside This Cover

This cover is sized for a standard 20 lb. (5-gallon) propane cylinder -- the most common size used on travel trailers, fifth wheels, and pop-up campers for cooking, furnaces, and water heaters. A standard 20 lb. DOT cylinder measures approximately 12 inches in diameter and 17-18 inches tall. The cover's 18.5 in. width and 13.5 in. depth accommodate the cylinder with enough clearance for the protective shell to seat securely.

Valve Access Design: The opening at the top of the lid is specifically positioned for the hand wheel valve and regulator connection point on a standard 20 lb. OPD cylinder. You can operate the valve and swap regulators without disassembling the cover.

Installation Overview

No special tools required. The two shell halves join around the tank using the supplied screws and lock nuts. Bottom tabs engage the base of the cylinder for a snug, rattle-free fit. Bungee cord can be routed through the integrated holes to add an extra layer of security during travel. All mounting hardware is included in the box.

What Is Included: Two-piece polypropylene cover shell and all mounting hardware (screws and lock nuts). Bungee cord (if desired for additional security) is not included. Propane tank is not included.

Ideal Applications

  • Travel trailers and fifth wheels with exterior tongue-mounted single-cylinder propane setups
  • Pop-up campers and teardrop trailers using a single 20 lb. cylinder
  • Stationary RV sites where appearance and long-term UV protection matter
  • Replacing a cracked, faded, or damaged existing tank cover
Maintenance Tip: Periodically inspect the polypropylene shell for cracks, especially at the screw mounts and bottom tabs, after extended UV exposure or hard travel seasons. Clean with mild soap and water -- avoid petroleum-based solvents that can degrade polypropylene.

Important Information
  • This cover is designed for a single 20 lb. propane cylinder only -- it will not fit 30 lb., 40 lb., or dual-tank setups. Camco offers separate covers for those configurations.
  • Always turn the propane valve fully OFF before transporting your RV, regardless of whether a cover is installed.
  • The cover provides physical and UV protection only -- it is not a pressure vessel and does not serve as a vapor barrier or fire-rated enclosure.
  • Inspect the tank itself for leaks, rust, and certification date (tanks require recertification after 12 years) independent of cover condition.
  • Do not store a leaking or damaged cylinder inside an enclosed cover; always use propane in a well-ventilated area.
