While we were getting our trailer ready to go camping and filling the fresh water tank at home the tank dropped and is resting on the axles. We are fortunate this did not happen while driving as it could have very easily resulted in a catastrophic event. Jayco has informed me that this is out of warranty. I feel this is a manufacturer defect and needs to be reported and hopefully added to a growing list of concerns.
