As is installing a propane gas cap.

Seriously. The hardest part about this setup was figuring out why people are giving this item less than 4 stars. It came with extra screws. It came with assembly instructions (I would have used a ratchet instead of a wrench but whatever). Very easy. Perfect fit for my tanks. I love the patch! I would caulk the nuts and bolts to prevent rust or replace them with stainless ones. That's all. A good thing.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Long delivery time

I had to replace my old one.

My original case has seen better days. A few years ago it broke from being exposed to all kinds of conditions, including being hit by branches. I've put off buying an enclosure but realized the elements were clogging my propane pigtails so I decided to take a chance and buy it. I also like that I can remove the screws and lift the lid to see the propane sensors. I have two (2) 30 pound propane tanks and they fit perfectly.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

I would not buy this device again

This device needs to be adjusted to match the language. I used scissors. It may also be necessary to redo the floor so the gas hoses don't rub. The protrusions on the bottom aren't enough to secure the device and you need to figure out how to fix that. I drilled two holes in the front and used butterfly clips in the back and screwed on decorative plant hangers in the front and then attached the bungee to the wheel carrier. It's pretty safe now. I would go to Canvas if I knew how difficult it is

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Very expensive

Mmm at least it looks good

So here is my first review, I finished it quickly. The instructions say not to overtighten. The reason is that it pulls out cheap flimsy plastic. What really needs to be there is a slightly larger bolt with washers on each end to prevent this from happening (which I'll probably do myself later). It's cosmetically attractive, but it's thin and light plastic, like a dollar store Frisbee. How will he hold his own on the track? A coin toss is a must, I'll update when I get this baby. Overall 4 out…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Not the best

Not perfect, but cleans up the look.

It covers my propane tanks and gives a nice clean look so it was a worthwhile purchase for me. However, I have no idea why they bothered to make a small hole on the top - it's difficult to screw/unscrew the buttons on the top and damage the plastic pins that prevent them from unscrewing every time loosen when you touch them. Also, the opening is too small to use - I can't see or access the gauge on my two stage regulator, can't fill tanks without removing the entire cap, etc. I'll seal mine…

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • old

Needs component packaging reconsideration

I went from 20lb cans to 30lb cans and had to upgrade the cap as well. I'm pretty sure the cap that came before was from the same manufacturer and I've had good luck with that so thought this one would be a suitable replacement. The package arrived safely and in good condition. I have 2 suggestions for improvement. #1. Do not use hot glue drops to attach the hardware package and lid package to the two outer shells (this product requires little assembly). It's impossible to easily remove all of…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • No performance

Easy to assemble 👍! Great price 👍! Strong 👍! What's not to like?

My old gas cap had seen better days and needed to be replaced. There seemed to be many different model numbers for Camco's wide range of gas caps, but the dimensions of this product matched my tank layout, so I bought it. Very easy to assemble (everything you need is included). The instructions for the fasteners that keep the access panel closed could be a bit clearer (they can be installed incorrectly). Some reviews said the plastic is too thin and not strong enough. Before assembling and…

Pros
  • Sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • The list will be long.
