Seatbelts are not OE straps for a rv water tank. Plus they look new.
so good news is he fixed that. The warping is a plastic water tank, no?
The other warped areas are probably also holding tanks not necessarily a problem. But….
It’s an old camper. Could probably use a little work. If its rotten or broken, shore it up.
Not unreasonable to put a couple $ worth of time and materials into an old TC. It happens. To be expected.

actually yes they are, Bigfoot use them for years to hold up the tanks, I am not sure what they are using now. I might have to go for a cruise to the factory, 40 minutes from me and see if they are still using "webbing" not seatbelts, to hold the tanks up.

If you do please update me here I’d be curious if they changed the design to what.

My bad if the webbing looked like seatbelts. But that’s not the issue unless it rotted or broken. Then your tank would drop.
I see you’ve gone into other corners of the camper disassembling stuff.
Stop and take a deep breath before taking more apart.
Your comment about plywood and fiberglass ….. umm does not sound like a solid plan. Unless you know more about building boats than repairing RVs.- FreeMotivationJul 20, 2025Explorer II
I really know nothing of either. I am just looking at how they have designed the shell and was trying to find a way to replace the gaping hole.

ya you will probably be done before I get the time to drop by there again haha. webbing is a good strong material, but how good it is will 100% depend how you anchor it on each end. I didn't see from your picture how they anchored it.
