Welcome to the Forest River water tank bouncing down the road club! What brand? Rockwood / Flagstaff? Cedar Creek? Salem? Fill in the blank?
Its an ongoing issue and has been for a few years. Cheap thin support brackets supplied by LCI. Certain Forest River divisions have been known to actually send emails to people telling them the trailers are not designed to be moved with fluid in the tanks. They contend a section of their manual quoted below actually means not to travel with water in the tank.
"When traveling, you may want to drain the tank or keep the quantity of water to a minimum. This will reduce the total weight of the RV for travel. The location of the fresh water and the waste water tank drain valve will vary from RV to RV but is generally located beneath the RV near the respective tank."
Go to Forest River Forums and search for "water tank" or "tank fell out" and you'll get plenty of reading material and info on repairs.
