Consumer Description

When filling the fresh water tank for the first time, the forward frame bracket pivoted and the tank fell to the ground. The tank broke where the fill and vent tube attach. There are no secondary retention straps. If this had happened on the highway, the tank likely would have caused severe injury or death to other vehicles following behind the trailer. Upon inspection, it appears the forward frame bracket is only held by two in-line fasteners with provisions for two other anti-rotation fasteners. These anti-rotation fasteners were not installed. Also, this design does not use retention straps as a secondary retention system.
