I OWN A 2001 WINNEBAGO ADVENTURER MODEL 35U. IT IS ON A WORKHORSE CHASSIS. IN 2005 ONE OF THE TWO STRAPS SUPPORTING THE 75 GALLON GAS TANK BROKE. IN JULY OF 2008 THE OTHER STRAP BROKE. IN OCTOBER OF 2008 THE FIRST REPLACEMENT STRAP BROKE. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH WORKHORSE AND THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE TO SAY IS "WE HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM". THE TANK IS ALSO FASTENED TO THE FRAME, BUT ALL THREE STRAPS BROKE IN THE SAME SPOT. IT WAS NOT DUE TO RUST. I WOULD GUESS THAT THE STRAPS ARE SUPPORTING SOME OF THE WEIGHT OF THE GAS TANK. I HAVE THE MOST RECENT BROKEN STRAP. ONE END IS GROUND DOWN DUE TO DRAGGING ON THE ROAD. WHEN THE FIRST STRAP BROKE, A MOTORIST FLAGGED ME DOW
