Ed,
Yes. A number of folks have found that the tanks are not secured well. It is not just the black tank but all tanks. I've had to work on all my tanks at one time or another and found that they all are only minimally secured. Someone reported that the tank folks recommend that the tanks be strapped in their positions. Keystone does not use straps.

We have placed additional support under one of the tanks. The others were OK with adding a few screws to the supports.

None of the problems with the tanks were caused by improper support.

By the way one of our MOC members actually lost their water tank while traveling in Alaska. It fell out of its supports and was dragging on the ground! Keystone was great in rushing a replacement tank to them and paying for replacing it.

Good luck on getting yours secured properly.

Dennis
