It does sound from your description that you pressurized the tank, and might have ripped a seam open! That would be bad. If you where hooked up to 60 PSI + water pressure to the city inlet to the RV, and open a valve to fill the fresh water tank, yes you could have 60 PSI in the tank, and over a 30" X 30" sidewall of the tank, that is 900 square inches, or well over 5,000+ pounds of pressure against the sidewall of the tank!
Good luck with this problem. Start looking in all the basement compartments. Look for a panel that can be removed. It might be covered with carpet, or whatever the inside of the basement is covered with. I found them in the 'center' of the basement, over the steel chassis of the RV. This helps weight distribution a lot, so they locate two each tanks, that are 'wedge shape' so you can fit in one, then the other to the space, and take them out without disassembly of the RV.
