Keep your paired 30 lb LP tanks out of the weather and off the radar. Camco 50513 is a purpose-built white polymer enclosure that shields two standard 30 lb steel propane cylinders from road grime, UV degradation, and precipitation -- while keeping the valves, regulator, and changeover pigtails fully accessible through the top-hinged lid.
Paired 30 lb tanks are a popular choice for fifth-wheels, travel trailers, and toy haulers that need the extra capacity of two cylinders without upgrading to an onboard ASME tank. The problem is exposure: propane cylinders that ride at the front of a trailer face constant blast from UV, road spray, and road debris. Over time, paint fades, collars rust, and OPD valves get coated in highway grime.
Camco 50513 solves that with a molded white cover engineered for exactly this two-tank setup. The enclosure is one-piece on the sides with a separate hinged lid, so you never have to remove the whole cover to check levels, swap the pigtail over to the second tank, or shut off the valve before a refill stop.
Open the lid without removing the cover. Valves, OPD handles, and regulator connections stay reachable at all times.
White finish reflects heat and resists UV yellowing better than dark covers, protecting tank paint and rubber seals underneath.
Solid side panels block stone chips, road spray, and highway grit that erode cylinder finish and corrode brass fittings.
No tools required for installation. Panels snap together around the tanks and secure with the lid latch.
This cover is sized for two standard 30 lb DOT steel propane cylinders -- the upright, vertical-orientation cylinders commonly used on RV tongue mounts and propane rack platforms. It is not designed for 20 lb grill-style tanks, 40 lb cylinders, or horizontal ASME tanks.
Standard 30 lb DOT cylinders measure approximately 24 inches tall with a body diameter of roughly 12 inches. The Camco 50513 is sized to accommodate two of these side by side, including the collar and OPD valve at the top. If your tanks are non-standard or oversized, measure before ordering.
The hinged lid opens independently of the side panels, giving clear access to both tank valves, the two-stage or single-stage regulator, and the automatic changeover regulator if installed. You do not need to remove the cover for routine operation, switching tanks, or shutoff before refilling.
Camco 50513 is designed for tool-free snap-together installation around existing mounted tanks. General steps:
Propane tank covers must never create a sealed enclosure around cylinders. The Camco 50513 is designed with appropriate ventilation to prevent LP vapor accumulation. Do not modify the cover, block vents, or add sealant that could restrict airflow around the tanks.
This listing is for the White version of the Camco double 30 lb cover. White is the most common color for RV propane covers because it reflects solar heat, reducing temperature buildup around the cylinders on hot days. Camco offers similar covers in other colors -- confirm you are ordering the correct color for your rig's exterior.
