We don't dry camp and fortunately don't have to worry about tank supports. I wouldn't want to travel very far though unless I had checked the supports. One of these days I'm planning to pull down the entire underbelly to see what there is to see including tank supports and am 100 percent positive I'll find lots of substandard stuff that need addressing.
Many TTs have a low cargo carrying capacity and ours is one of them. Our trailer all loaded up for camping for two is just under the GVWR. Just one full holding tank would put us over the GVWR. All 4 tanks if full would result in the weight of the trailer being something like 900+ lbs over the GVWR - not good. If they allegedly design TTs so you can tow with full tanks, how is it possible to end up being so far over the GVWR? I wonder how many have the same issue?
Do tank manufacturers have anything to say about supports for their tanks? What does someone like Nash do for their tanks, considering that their frame are off-road certified?
