2017 Work&Play 25 WAB water tank ?

[wanderingbob]

I just filled my fresh water tank and the tank ' bulges ' out the bottom so far it touches the axle ? 110 gallons is a lot of weight but builders and designers should know that ? Any one else ?

I put 5 steel pcs 2 1/2 by one eighth inch under the tank and it looks good !

And your right it should. For me once I added the brace I was not worried about the tank but more the extra weight. I was already tipping the scales at 12,500 lbs and I did not see the need to add 900 more lbs to that. We did dry camp for several weeks during the year and I would fill with water once I got there and then park it...

Why? A trailer should be able to safely carry it's tanks at full capacity without fear of the tank becoming a highway ornament.

My 30WR bulged and I supported it with a section of angled steel with rubber between tank and steel. I only supported the front portion of the tank, the rear of the tank was fine.

Personally I would not tow with full water tanks for very far. If dry camping tank up as close to your destination as possible.

My former 30WRS bulged but it sat between the axles. How does yours touch the axles? On top of the axles? That sounds like a catastrophe waiting to happen.

That's over 900 lbs of water. Should have retaining straps under it. BTW, the builders don't care and the designers are clueless
