Broken Bolts on Fresh Water Tank

[backpacker3]

Last night I was filling my water tank to sanitize it and I heard a snap like metal breaking and then a bolt head rolled out from under the camper. I crawled under the camper and looked around and found that a self tapping screw( 14 gauge x 1") that is used to support the rear support bracket of the water tank was missing. Looked closer and found this is where the screw head came from. Looked at the other side of the support bracket and saw that one screw was missing there also. Drilled out the broken screws and installed new screws to replace the snapped off ones. Might want to check and see if anyone might have the same problem. Hate to be driving down the road and lose the water tank. Over all ,I was surprised that the two screw ends drilled out fairly easy and then just put new screws in.

There seems to be a major design issue with the fresh water tank supports on units these days. There's a post just this morning where people go to their campsite and the fresh water tank was completely gone!
