Wolf Creek 840 Question

Contact Wolf Creek management in writing and by phone. Raise heck. They claim top quality.

You might want to search for an Arctic Fox fix. It sounds similar to the problem they were having years ago. Since it’s the same manufacturer, hopefully an Arctic Fox owner will help if not a Wolf Creek owner.

Good luck.

I have a WC 850 and the blocks are to be beside the water tank to help keep it from shifting around.

The blocks are meant to be on the sides then. That's one mystery solved. I reattached the strap after emptying the tank and lifting it a little with a wedge but it immediately sagged back down onto the drain valve and that's without water in it. I may have to use some blocks or wedges to support the corner so the weight isn't on the valve. Ugggg! Not sure if the Arctic fox models are built the same but I can't imagine Northwood expected a 20 gallon water tank to be held up by plumbers tape straps and 2 little screws. Any other suggestions for a fix would be appreciated. Thanks for the responses so far.

What model year is your 840? I just picked up a 2018 last summer, I'm working out of town or I would snap some pictures and look at mine.

The camper is a 2015 model. Photos would be helpful. Thanks!

I have 2017 model. Tank sits on top of blocks under edge of tank.

Sitting on top of the blocks makes more sense to me than the blocks being used to prevent side to side movement. So mine has shifted and come off the blocks which is probably what caused the strap to break. May have slipped off the rear blocks when I was off road. I'm going to see if I can lift it enough to slide some new blocks under the rear of the tank to at least take the pressure off the drain valve. Hope it works! Thanks for the picture, it was definitely helpful. I'm sure this has happened to others with this setup as the engineering seems a little suspect to me. Why use stubby little blocks every few feet when they could of just built supports all around the edges. The way it is now you hit one good bump with a full tank of water and there she goes off the blocks- snapped strap. Oh well, it is what it is. time to figure out an upgrade. Too bad access is so limited.
