The trailer fresh water tank fell out bottom of the trailer. The water tank is at the rear of the trailer. The tank fell down and the only thing that kept it from falling totally out was the trailer electrical wiring that it caught on. If it had fallen out completely on a major highway in heavy traffic I'm sure someone might have gotten injured trying to avoid it. I have not taken the trailer to a dealer for inspection nor gas the manufacturer inspected it. I reinstalled the tank myself and it is not going to fall out again. The tank was not secured correctly at time of manufacturer, It had 3 cross braces under it and they were installed with self drilling screws to the frame on both sides. These screws are about 1/4" in diameter a total of 12 screws in all. Of the 12 screws 8 had sheared off the heads and the braces fell out. I don't think that my trailer is the only one manufactured this way and there may be others that have had this problem. the braces should have been through which is what I have done to secure. I called the manufacturer and ask them if they had encountered this problem and they said they had not. I'm enclosing pictures for your review and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
