Straps holding black and grey tanks...

We have the flat metal supports under the fresh tank only. The tank still sags slightly between the supports. The other tanks have the loose straps. We don't have room for plywood support, as some mentioned.

Well, I filled the black tank with water and there was so sag, at all. ??? Maybe too rigid because its cold???

if they screwed up, they screwed them both up in an identical fashion!

Both yours and just about every other trialer they manufacture. And the same on my previous Sunnybrook TT

Here is my 2010 3010 Cyclone. Grey and black tanks

This may help to visualize how the tanks are supported. The tanks have a ledge around the perimeter. That ledge sits on bars (yellow highlight)

I always figured the straps were to catch the tank if it slipped out of its primary mounting. Might be a regulation for waste tanks, you know Heartland isn't going to put something on that isn't necessary or required. The fresh water tank is mounted the same way but no straps and it carrys more weight more often then the waste tanks.

The tank straps on my Cyclone 3914 are loose as well just like the ones in the pictures. Doesn't seem to cause any problems and I'm not sure the straps are thick enough to do much anyway.
