Water tank and floor

Ran into issues on my 2021 Wildwood 27rk. The fresh water tank bracket broke and tank fell out bottom. Also found the flooring squeak s a lot. Any similar issues? Today while camping I found water pouring from the bottom of camper while my wife showered. Found the p trap was not supported and separated.

I see this is your first post. Welcome aboard. Sorry about your water issues.
Are you the original owner of this Wildwood?

Thanks….just getting used this forum. I bought the Wildwood unused at Camping World. It is considered used because they bought out inventory from a closing dealer. I was told that since they do not sell Forest River it is now technically used.

I don't think P traps are supported however the fittings can and do become loose.
The shower pan should be supported in different areas.

Son's travel trailer fresh water tank was sagging badly when full. So we installed two 10 foot lengths of 1 5/8" Unistriut with clamps on each end of the two Unistruts. You will have to cut the Unistrut to fit your application. The "U" clamps slide over the Unistrut with the "U" facing down and the angle plate contacting the frame.
We drilled and bolted the ends of the strut to the TT frame to ensure everything was secure. Home Depot carries what you need.
