Bearcat FK16 Toyhauler Fresh Water Tank Supports or lack of

[swbc150]

[p]For a designed off-road trailer you would think the supports on the underside of the fresh water tank would consist of more than 2. Livin-lite only installed 2 supports, one at each end of the 38 gallon fresh water tank, when filled with water the middle section would droop in the middle, this put additional stress on the two end supports. Also made it just about impossible to drain the fresh water tank completely as water would always stay in the droop section.[/p][p]I actually take my Bearcat Toyhauler off payment and onto some rough dirt roads, over the last year and half my two only fresh water tank supports were showing some stress so I decided I would feel way better to mount 2 additional supports towards the middle of the water tank. Moving the existing supports closer to the middle was not a option, the water tank is just too long.[/p][p]The exact material was used for the 2 additional supports, presently I left the two stock supports in place, I'll see if they need replacement after my next campout in another week and half from today.[/p][p]I had the 2 new tank supports made from the same welder who upgraded my Coupler, the 2 cost $70 including the needed self-tapping screws.[/p][p]
[/p][p]The stock supports for both the Gray and Black Water tanks were installed correctly.[/p][p]
