Has anyone else had experience with a tank dropping like this?
Oh yea....lots of folks.
Most likely you have the Lippert standard tank supports which are total garbage. The cross ties underneath just fit in slots in the main angles. Those angles are light gauge bent plate and they often have slots punched in both legs which weaken them. The main angles deflect and the cross ties pop loose, allowing the main angles to deflect further until the tank falls between them.
It look like THIS.
Get some 2x2x1/4" cold rolled angles and make new supports. The Lippert angles are just about capable of being used for tomatoe stakes or fence posts for a really lightweight fence.
Ralph, you are so demure...
t least rhe frame welds didn't break too... Lippert junk.
