How common is common.
I have been reading a thread about holding tanks falling out of a rig while traveling down the road.. I have been RVing for over 50 years and had never seen this happen. Or heard about this happening...

I have traveled all over this country . 48 years worth..
Work, Vacation, motorcycling. never seen a RV tank hanging .. almost everything else.. but not a RV storage tank.
Back in the Day... metal gas tanks hanging from under cars... YES... many.
2 thin metal straps hold a metal tank and 25 gallons of gas.. and winter Rust.. and TAR as a Rust retardant.
I had a buddy back in the day that had a Ford Falcon. It was about 20 years old by this time and was very rusty. The springs rusted off the back of the car and poked through into the trunk. After that when he went over a big bump the gas tank would drag on the ground and throw sparks. :E We told him that he should get that fixed. So he crawled under the car and wired a 6X6 block of wood to the top of the axle to keep the car higher. That worked but, it the car sure rode rough after that. :p
