Holding tank question

After reading all these issues with tank problems and failures i took a look on how mine are connected. Every thing is a solid connection and I can see how the drain connection to the tank could crack with any movement or flexing of the tank.

I have read on here how some are using flexible connectors between the drain lines and the tanks. Can anyone what tell me or give a link to what you are using for a flexible connector? I have seen the ones that are rubber couplings, Fernco is the name I think, but not sure if these will allow enough movement between the connections. Wanted to try and prevent having any leaking issues if possible. I do plan to strap the bottom of the tanks to help distribute some of the stress a full tank can produce.

I am using the rubber connections that are sold at Lowes and Home Depot. Some recent topic mentioned a bellows style connection, but I haven't seen these. John

I to would be interested in what people are using. I normally dump before leave a park but would consider a preemptive strike if this problem is so rapid.
