Squeaky Floor above where my freshwater tank is located

Hello my 2006 Forest River Sierra T23SP Toy Hauler - 26 FT floor squeaks right over area where the freshwater tank is located which I suspect bowed upwards when the tank was overfilled. I am trying to figure how to stop the squeaky floor and looking for tips from others you have experienced similar situations. I plan to drop the 50 gallon freshwater tank but what is the best way to brace the existing floor that lays over the water tank and what are the best materials to use to do the job correctly? Thank you.

Best way is to open the underbelly and see where you can install wood or metal bracing. I have used angle iron and/or wood 2x stock with aluminum brackets to solve this problem.

Have someone step on the spot u mark on the floor while you are underneath so you can see the floor flex. You may have to remove the tank to brace the floor.
