This note relates to the Winnebago construction of the vehicle. The grey tank, which can hold up to 20 gallons of water, came out of its fitting under the chassis, as shown in one picture. As shown in another image, the grey tank support has come out of its fitting under the chassis. The final picture shows the lack of support provided by the thin and rusting support bar. We were lucky to have noticed the grey tank falling down while stopped. If this had fallen down at highway speeds, there's no telling what injuries and damages may have occurred. The support bar is simply too flimsy to support the weight of 20 gallons of water over time. Other vehicle owners have noticed similar issues with their grey tank coming loose and having to be re-secured. Our vehicle was inspected and repaired by a commercial truck repair company, report attached. The inspection revealed the support bar is too thin to support the grey tank and should be thicker steel. There was no warning and the only reason we knew there was an issue was because we walked far enough away from the vehicle to see there was a gap between the bottom of the vehicle and the grey tank.
