Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2002 winnebago brave model 34d motorhome and experienced a problem with the mounting of the propane tank. while on a trip i went to shut off the propane tank valve and discovered that the tank was moving. upon investigation i discovered that the mounting plate that the tank is bolted to had completely fractured and the tank was being held up by the rear only. this is a 28 gallon propane tank that is used for cooking, heating and hot water and is mounted at the bottom of the motorhome. the results of this tank ripping off while driving down the road at 60 mph is frighting to say the least. i did some research on r.v. site and discovered that other people have had similar problems. a welding shop patched it up but i think that winnebago needs to address a permainent fix for all owners.
