What's wrong?
The fresh water holding tank on the 2024-2025 Viking and Clipper Camping Trailer travel trailers stores potable water for the RV plumbing system. The tank needs a support bracket, listed by Forest River as the Fresh Tank Floater, to hold the tank in place when it is full and while the trailer is moving.
On affected trailers, the installed support part is the wrong gauge. The source part is listed as 14GA, while the replacement part is listed as 11GA. In plain terms, the installed support is not strong enough for this use. It can break while the tank is being filled or while the trailer is in travel, letting the fresh water tank fall partly down from its mounted position.
There is no warning sign before failure. Owners should not expect a light, sound, or plumbing symptom before the bracket breaks.
