I was fixing a water leak that was unrelated to the fresh water tank under my TT this weekend and looking at my fresh water tank and I was wondering if my tank supports look ok.I know that R-Vision has had issues with tank supports failing in the past so I figured I would ask everyone here.My tank seems curved so I think it is ok...I usually don't travel with the tank full, on long trips I might fill it 1/4 full so we have water when we stop. The only time I travel with it full is when I go to the August race at Pocono Raceway which is about 2hrs away.Thanks for any input........Chris

I'm no expert but it sure doesn't look like much support to me.This is one that I built.

Looks pretty janky to me. Could you maybe put an additional pipe strap in that location. What would worry me more is the way those wires are located. Any chance you can attach them securely.

Wouldn't have too much confidence with the way the tank is currently supported. Not being able to carry a full tank of water whenever needed would be an issue I would be very unhappy about, not sure what the engineer's were thinking with that flawed design. Shore it up before you have some kind of mishap that could ruin a nice outing.

I would almost bet that your tank was not curved when it was installed. It has sagged over time, and would likely respond well with having a solid and much wider series of supports under it.

I had to redo mine under my Montana last year. They were just flat straps zipped screwed to the frame. One had broke and rest sagging. Tank was also moving from side to side.
