How should tanks mounted behind the rear axle of a travel trailer be installed?

Tanks that are mounted behind the rear axle of a travel trailer must be installed no lower than the rear axle height or the lowest section of the frame to ensure safety and proper functionality. This specific height requirement is crucial because it helps to prevent potential damage to the tanks while the trailer is in motion or when traversing uneven terrain. If the tanks were installed lower than this threshold, they could be more susceptible to being impacted by road debris or obstacles, which could lead to leaks or failures. Additionally, placing the tanks higher helps maintain a better center of gravity for the trailer, contributing to safer towing dynamics and stability.

The design and placement follow safety guidelines to promote integrity during travel, and maintaining this height also aids in preventing issues related to drainage and waste management systems that may rely on gravitational flow.
