Identify Camco RV Propane Tank Covers by Cylinder Size
Camco makes different protective shells for one propane cylinder and for two cylinders mounted side by side. The 20 lb and 30 lb double-cylinder models are not the same height. This part-number guide helps identify the existing cover without relying solely on colour or appearance.
Start with the cylinder arrangement
One 20 lb cylinder
Camco 40564 is a polar-white, single-cylinder cover. Its shape is different from the wider double-cylinder covers; do not use a double-cover lid on it.
Two 20 lb cylinders
Camco 50502 (black) and 50503 (white) have a published enclosure size of 29½ inches wide, 15½ inches deep and 20½ inches high.
Two 30 lb cylinders
Camco 50512 (black) and 50513 (white) have the same published width and depth as the dual-20 designs, but are taller at 26¼ inches high.
Camco propane cover model and size chart
| Camco MPN | Cylinder configuration | Colour | Published cover size (W × D × H) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 40564 | Single 20 lb | Polar white | Check exact single-cover dimensions |
| 50502 | Dual 20 lb | Black | 29½ × 15½ × 20½ in |
| 50503 | Dual 20 lb | White | 29½ × 15½ × 20½ in |
| 50512 | Dual 30 lb | Black | 29½ × 15½ × 26¼ in |
| 50513 | Dual 30 lb | White | 29½ × 15½ × 26¼ in |
Dimensions and fit: Published exterior sizes apply to the specified dual-cylinder models; measure the existing rack and clearances rather than assuming every cylinder arrangement is identical.
Check the RV installation before replacing a shell
- Confirm whether the existing mount holds one cylinder or two, and check the individual cylinder size. These models are described for standard steel cylinders; do not infer a match for different aluminum or composite tanks.
- Measure the clear width, depth and height around the cylinder rack, regulator and tongue jack. Include room for the cover's lid or access panel to open.
- Verify the hold-down bar and centre post arrangement separately. Buying a new cover does not automatically replace the mounting rack, regulator or propane pigtails.
- Check for adequate access to the shutoff valves and regulator, and avoid obstructing any required vent or gas-system components.
- When only the lid or its fasteners are damaged, compare the existing lid design with the separate replacement parts before buying an entire enclosure.
Find the matching Camco cover
Open the manufacturer number to review the individual product description, photos and availability. The single and double covers are not interchangeable.
Need just the cover lid?
See the Camco propane cover replacement lid and fastener guide before ordering a lid, top cap or thumbscrew set. Lid shape and attachment points matter in addition to colour.
For components below the protective cover, see the RV propane regulator and changeover parts reference.
