Dropped Fresh Water Tank

I overfilled the fresh water tank on my Cedar Creek, and it fell. It didn't fall through the plastic underbelly, but is laying on top of the underbelly. Have you ever seen this? I will add more screws to the underbelly, and head for the Forest River factory for repairs.

Welcome to my world. Mine fell out of my FR Sierra a month ago. I had filled it 3/4 full to the panel. Getting last minute things done so we could depart in the morning and boom the cheap bracket holding the tank in broke dropping the tank all the way to the ground, just glad I wasn't on the road.

The L brackets that support both sides with three cross braces failed. The factory only fastened one side of the cross braces causing them to slide out and the bending the opposite side L bracket. Its at the dealer now and they are creating support that is stronger. My dealer said he's seen several of these fail.

Good luck
