Default Fresh water tank strap broke, causing damage

While preparing to leave Sturgis this year, we discovered the fresh water tank holding strap had been broken, probably for several years, causing the weight of the tank to collapse the bottom underpayment and drag the ground! Not happy that Gulfstream only had one 5" metal strap to support the 100 gallon tank! We cut out all the broken wood, mounted an aluminum sheet 1/8" to the bottom, and put in 5 angle iron crossbraces!

This is something to look for in the older motorhomes, you can use a flashlight and look behind the water manifold to check it!
