Or, you could do as I did and attach the lid to the hinge side of the cover with zip-ties. Use one for the single tank cover located at the hole that is already there. The double tank cover will take two since there are two hold-down screws. The lid will stay in place, even if the hold-down screws fail to hold.

Have owned our double propane hard tank cover for nearly 10 years and have never lost the top piece. Unfortunately nearly every cover is like the black one above where the door is mounted backwards and once the hold down screw loosens, the door flies off. IF you mount the door properly, with the hold down screw toward the r-pod and not the tow vehicle, that scenerio will not play out.

This one works well for my 178. I did have to slightly modify the stock metal tank strap. Not a big deal.

Yes, though finding a hard cover for a single tank used to be impossible..

Hey, Podsters: I'm not a fan of the floppy vinyl propane tank cover. Will any commercially available single tank cover work for the R-Pod? Thanks.
