Our TT is great for getting us backwards and forwards from Ontario to Arizona. However it does have a fault: The angle iron bars which hold up the black and grey tanks (two bars per tank) were poorly ...

Shorten the angle iron about 1/4". Weld a piece of flat bar on each end of the angle iron, and have 2 holes in the flat bar, one on each side for bolts. Now bolt the angle iron tank supports to the trailer frame.
My gray did similar, this seems to have fixed it. It allows a tiny bit of flex that the trailer experiences while moving. I've always got water in a tank; fresh on the way out, the others on the way home.
The welds that HAVE held are like this. Pity they didn't do that to all of them.
Good idea though. I'll remove the bars that have a problem and do this and replace. Thanks.
