There have been reports on other forums about this. Seems some manufacturers are not supporting tanks with straps like the tank manufacturers recommend. Keystone is one of them. The problem has shown up in units made in the past two years or so. Apparently the tanks are supported only by the molded flanges and fail at the center seam when loaded heavily.
Now that seems entirely plausible. My tank is held on like that, and I've wondered a couple of times in passing if it was enough. Did the reports in other forums say what kind of straps should be used? Seems like an easy preventable fix.
