Thank you so much for the offer. If I don't have any luck getting a black one I may take you up on it! I'll PM you if so.

Personally, I really like the flat top version so that I have somewhere to set my hitch keys, sway bar pins, etc. during hookup. 

It doesn't have to be black, but I can't even find a white version for a single 20lb tank with the flat top and a Velcro closure.

Given the cost of the Airstream, I would have to go to the bank and request a loan for it. Big smile

Just for the fun of it I looked up the cost at Airstreamsupply.com...$749.50 for the 30lb tank.

I saw an Airstream this last summer with aluminum tank covers that matched the trailer.  It looked sharp.  I wonder what it cost...

the black ones have proven difficult to find anywhere other than on a new pod.. White was on the first 3 generations, and are pretty easy to find. A person could get one and use automotive trim spray dye to make it black.. or just go with white..

Mostly cosmetic.  However, it does keep your tank, valve and regulator clean as your tow vehicle kicks up a lot of dirt.  It also protects your hose from exposure to the sun.  For me, it's just nice to have a relatively clean propane tank when you take it off to have it refilled.

I am ignorant about this. 

Is a propane tank cover needed for practicality or just appearance??
