Potable Water Tank Collapsed After Filling It

Any Lance owners have this happen? Know how it is suppose be secured to the under-frame? My Lance 2185 is a 2018 model year with less than 5,000 miles on it! Trying to get factory support.

That is sad. Sorry you wxperienced this.

At least it happened while filling it rather than when going down the highway at 65mph! The way it seems to be mounted doesn’t look like it was engineered very well. Caution to all Lance owners.

In the day water tanks sat on the floor under a bench seat. It was only a catastrophe that could break it loose. Then someone figured that space could be freed up if they used the approach used on your rig!!! Well that may have been a long time ago! My 83 Alpinelite has the tank bolted in underneath as well. Although it seems secure. I travel with less than a 1/2 tank of water, and empty black/gray tanks.

You may look under your truck and see how the auto industry holds in the gas tank. That seems to work well for them.
