Fresh water tank

I have a 2012 Tuscany 40FX. Is there any concern of the fresh water tank slightly sagging from below of the under carriage? Is there a concern of actually falling down?

Yes. How is it secured in place? Straps, L-brackets, etc? You should be able to see it pretty easily.

Yes, and for the nature of the question, pictures will say a lot for you on your behalf for someone afar to chime in to help.

If you call any Repair shop or dealer for something like this, they will say bring it in. The better information and quality of pictures, the better quality advice.

The good news is you have discovered the potential for concern proactively

I've known of gas tanks (Bronco) falling out because of rusted straps/brackets. I had the entire support structure of my Wrangler gas tank replaced.

Why am I talking about gas tanks? Because if a 15 gallon gas tank is vulnerable, you better believe a 40 or 50 gallon water tank can drop just as easily.

Any garage should be able to reinforce it before disaster strikes.
