Fire Hazard

[Ernie Ekberg]

The only reason, come to think of it, right now, is that where the fresh water tank is located in that SP, there is no room for the heaters that the rest of the coaches have. Thus, they installed the mat under the tank. This tank had many stress cracks and the owner believes it is due to the fact that with the tank resting on the wheel well hump, there was no real support. The tank is not a square job but does have part of it raised to miss the tank. We will be putting a high density pad under that and observing how the tank rests on the wheel well.

It had been so hot in the past to scorch a plastic zip tie. Anyone that has this setup should absolutely discontinue using it. I will post a few photos in the photo section and will title it fire hazard. Ernie-83PT40 in Texas
