Holy sagging water tanks, Batman!
Since I was already having a venting problem with my FW tank, I decided this weekend to look and see why there seemed to be a bulge in my enclosed underbelly. The venting problem was a pretty simp...

While I didn't have any specific issues I was not happy with the support on both my black/grey tanks to prevent sagging so when I redid my underbelly I added an aluminum support across each tank. I made some brackets to secure the new supports to the tank rails that support the tanks and run between the trailer frame rails.
Here is a pic of one of the new support brackets and new aluminum support that was some aluminum garage door rail stock I had on hand. The bracket just slips onto the existing holding tank support and is tightened by the bolt shown.
Here is a pic of the new supports installed on each of the holding tanks.
I did add a small scrap of carpet between the new aluminum support and the tank at each end to reduce any wear between the new aluminum supports and the tank.
My fresh water tank already had a couple of the "tank supports" that consisted on something similiar made out of aluminum angle stock as shown in the below pic.
