Just got home from a short trip. Saw a piece of aluminum sheet metal underneath that was dragging on the road. Pulled it out and investigated. There is a similar sheet of aluminum underneath the fresh water tank that is rusted on the edges. The bad sheet was under the black/gray tank and fell out due to rust. Trying to find out the purpose of these aluminum sheets. If they are for protection, they are very thin and don't seem to be heavy enough. Taking the RV to a repair shop to see what needs to be done. Also noticed that the liquid tanks bulge some at the bottom....just wondering if that is normal and why they would not brace them better....any comments...
The exact same thing happened to us this past weekend on a trip. I didn't think twice and pulled the rest of it off. I am not sure I am going to replace it, but will crawl back under there and take another look.
It happened to be under the compartment with the water drains and sewer pipe, so not an easy quick fix, will need to due some custom cutting.
