Problem with Forest River Water Tank mount
Forest River/ Rockwood has had an issue with weak freshwater tank mounting bracket for several years. Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed. I had to do some reinforcement myself and I know ...

Our black tank fell out a few years back. We found the rails that are supposed to secure the tank were purposely bent (by a crescent wrench or similar tool). We assume this was to allow the assemblers to more easily insert the tank. Of course, easier insertion also means easier and unintended extraction. With the enclosed underbelly, we were unable to see the tank had started to slip from its moorings. During travel, etc. the black tank shifted but remained attached to the trailer solely by the PVC fitting that attaches to the toilet. When that fitting finally cracked, due to shifting and additional weight of water and sewage, the capacity of the fitting was exceeded and the tank fell. This problem obviously resulted from Forest River's lack of quality control. Luckily, they covered the repairs under warranty.
