Propane cover over bumper 06190 P lost

[jnp1660@gmail.com]

Finally, after 22 years, I've lost a propane cover on the rear bumper. It looks like a black license plate. There on flippers on the van to hold it in place. I think it's in California at Joshua Tree on a washboard dirt road.

Where can I find another one or two? RVe mobile has them priced at $62.00, in Ontario, Canada- then they added a broker fee of $75.00. I didn't go with them at that price, over $142.00.

I can hammer out an old license tag for that. Your thoughts and suggestions ?

Try to find a small sheet metal fabrication shop in your area. It is a very easy piece to make on manual equipment. Perhaps a restoration type auto shop could do it also.

Where we are there is a metal supplier that also does piecework over the counter so unless I had a piece of the right material lying around I would have one sheared to size. It is pretty light stuff so bending it over a pipe isn't too hard to do, especially if you get bendable aluminum.

An old license plate, a pair of tin snips from Harbor Freight and a spray can of flat black is all you need.

Tractor Supply sells small sheets of aluminum and steel. I think I would do like Booster suggested and I don't think it would be much of a project. I have always worried about losing that puppy and check it every time I do a walk around of the Roadtrek, which is every couple of hundred miles. I also keep those little two plastic retainers tight as possible to hopefully prevent trouble.

I attached a wire lanyard between the cover and the bumper so if the retainers break I will not lose the cover. I did that also with the water heater cover. I should probably do that also with the refrigerator vents as well.

Lost mine this summer because one of the plastic clips that holds it on broke. Anyone ever replace those? Luckily I have a very handy brother who made me 2 new covers out of Stainless Steel so now all I have to do is fix the clips.

Get a piece of vinyl baseboard cove molding for $4 at Amazon. You can make three covers. It even has the curved edge.

One of my flippers broke off too. Rather than replace it, I put a small U-clip on the side of the propane opening where the flipper used to be. Then I put a small phillips screw/washer into the U-clip to hold the black cover down. I keep a small phillips screwdriver in the drivers door pocket for when I need it.

Have a picture? I heard they're worth a thousand words

Here's a picture. My apologies, it's an enlargement of a section from another pic so very poor quality. Only pic I have of the back of the RV. Now sadly stored off-site for the winter.
Flipper's on the left, screw/washer on the right. U-clip is mounted on the brown bumper cover, underneath the black propane cover. Screw/washer screws into U-clip, the washer part securely holds down the propane cover. Cheap but works great.

Thanks but you're right it's not very clear.
