Propane cover weather stripping

I got mine from OTT. Out of curiosity, did yours pull loose in the middle? Our first seal came loose in the middle and would be sticking out when we got to our destination. I assumed it wasn't properly adhered at the factory and I replaced it after careful prep. The second one started doing the same thing. I think it's caused by airflow from underneath the propane cover while traveling. I removed the center section that had come loose, creating a small air gap, and it may have stopped the problem.

THIS is what I bought for the dog house.  But, it is still in my workshop unused because I've not needed it - yet.

We used simple door edge molding. Ours in 2008 just sat raw hood against raw base. It's been pretty good for 15 years

If you order this for your LP tank lid and base - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QAJJJ3Y?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 and you have a twin bed configuration, consider ordering enough material to run two strips along the rough edges of the bed rails if you have a twin bed model.

Let’s just say it really takes the edge off. 😊

Thanks. Mine did a similar thing, not quite in the center. This is the 2nd time for me too. Thanks for the tip.

I put this on 6 or 7 years ago and it still looks like new.

Yep - same stuff I referenced above.
