Default Lp gas bottle hard cover

We have a soft cover on the l.p. tanks that have seen better days. I'm trying to find a hard cover for the 30 pounders on our xtra 276 that won't hit the power Jack. Any suggestions?

I tried to replace my soft cover also. Wanted a hard cover - ordered onefrom Amazon (I think) and it didn't fit, would not clear the electric jack head.
I returned it and just purchased another soft cover, only in white. It seems to be standing up better than the factory black cover.

This is the one I purchased from Amazon that would NOT fit.

Yep, I had a cover on my 36 ft Gulfstream I tried on the 276 and it wouldn't clear the Jack either. I figured I'd give the forum a shot to see if anyone had one that worked. Thanks for the input.

Eagle tried it and it didn't clear the jack, but thanks for the reply.

Although it's not an ideal solution, in some cases you can rotate the jack so that it will clear the cover.

This seems to be an exceptionally good price on a "hard" tank cover! In fact, I just ordered it to replace my aging cover that too, "has seen better days". I have the sidewinding jack opposed to the electric version and that does seem to be a deciding factor on the "fit" for these covers. I am a bit confused with the wide variety of product numbers for the Camco covers that claim to fit dual 30lb tank arrangements. I'm sure color is one of the reasons but there are still lots of product numbers . I'm definitely hoping that the one I ordered will fit properly (or at least with minimal modification). For $20 and free return, I figured I'd take the chance!

Exactly why I asked if anyone had found a hard cover to fit 30 lb tanks and the electric jack. So far no luck.
