Owner report 11761857 · 2026-09-03 (September 3, 2026)
Our Jayco 166fbs trailered RV'S fresh water tank fell out of our rv on a camping trip to northern Michigan. On August 10th while on the way to Glen Arbor Mi while at a stop in Clare Mi it was noticed that there was a very large puddle of water where the RV was parked. Upon further inspection it was found that the two of the three straps that hold the 55 gallon fresh water tank by sheet metal screws had broken and caused the tank to fall and break the connections. .
