    A coworker has 2 40lb propane tanks he his looking to get rid of. He says they are full of fuel. I wouldn’t mind replacing the 30 lbers on my fish house with these fortys because I could get a good deal, but I cannot find a rv cover that fits 40 lbers. Does anyone run bigger tanks and what do you cover them with if at all?

    I’ve been looking for a hard cover for 10 years now with no luck. I just use 30# cover to help secure them. I thought about having one welded up but that’s just a one more greyed out ugly piece of diamond plate I’d have. I hate that stuff. The extra capacity of 40’s is sure nice though.

    I would imagine a metals fabrication shop would do a custom one for a couple hundred bucks

    I would guess that is quite a bit light. I certainly wouldn’t do it for $200 even if there were no materials included unless I had already made some in the past and I had a design and jigs already made.

    I had a similar box built at the shop in Stacy for a trailer for 400 bucks. But I was bigger then he needs. Was just trying to help.
