We winterized the popup this week (very, very sad), but we haven't covered the two propane vents yet -- what do you all of you use to do that? We figured that tape may not hold up well in the cold, and then may leave goop on the surface in the spring.

I use these. Held on with springs (though not shown in the link). I keep 'em mounted full time.

I use duct tape.  It holds up well.  Yeah, it leaves a bit of adhesive residue, but that comes off easily with WD-40 or Goof-Off.

I've never done it and never had any problems, come to think about it, never even thought about it.

I just use a peice of aluminum foil.  I take a piece roughly 14" x 14" and form it into a loose ball - maybe 4" in diameter - then I just squash it against the vent.
It works
It's cheap
I've even driven across the state with that aluminum foil squashed in there and it hasn't fallen oyt yet.

Take a look at my Vent Covers This is a good idea to keep all bugs out of your propane fixtures. Once done you are good to go  Approve

Hey, this sounds like a great idea. Thanks!
