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?
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.
- Grit_dogJul 19, 2025Navigator IIMy 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 III 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. - Grit_dogJul 20, 2025Navigator IIWhy not put the door or hatch back in or get a new door/hatch? 
 
- StirCrazyJul 20, 2025ModeratorMy bad if the webbing looked like seatbelts. I have been thinking of that ever since you said it. a seat belt buckle would be the perfect quick disconnect for dropping the tanks 😉 - Grit_dogJul 21, 2025Navigator IIIt sure would but who “drops the tanks?” And why? 
 
 
- StirCrazyJul 19, 2025Moderatorya 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. - FreeMotivationJul 20, 2025Explorer IIYeah fair enough!
