| Description of the problem | When parking our trailer after a trip this summer i noticed that three out of the four points where the fuel tank for the fueling station have broken. The fuel tank remained in place luckily most likely as it contained very little fuel, but at this time the trailer can't be moved until it is repaired. Upon closer inspection it was revealed that at least one other weld has come undone on a bracket that holds a water tank. Lucky this trip was over a low speed road without bumps and traffic as i can't imagine what would have happened if it fully detached. |
