I was inside the trailer doing a dump/fill stop at a Flying J in Winslow, AZ (on my way to Wortham, TX) yesterday, when I hear a creak and a clunk, and go outside to find my fresh water tank like this...
After draining the tank out, I was able to move it back into position, and made use of some tie-downs that I had with me to make it a bit more secure.
I'll work on a more permanent fix when I've got the time. I'm just glad that it came unglued while I was stationary, rather than on the road. That would have been ugly.
As you can see, I've got one of those saggy belly fresh water tanks, which makes draining it (or accessing about half the water in it) pretty much impossible. I also noticed that it appears that I've got some creeping crud growing in there. :shock:
Anyone have any suggestions for dealing with that?
