Can't explain it myself. Maybe improper installation on the assembly line Employees not paying attention to installation or just sloppy workmanship. We do use this Montana a lot. We live in it for long periods and put a lot of miles on it. These four tanks on the 13 3402 failed after being stationary for a couple of months. We do not come close to filling them to max while on our Florida lot.The galley tank has filled to max a couple of times but are these not holding tanks are they not designed to be filled to max capacity.
IMO failures are directly related to use in terms of how long we live in them and how many miles we run them. It would seem that manufacturers should adhere to vendors specs apparently extended warranty companies think so.
Make no difference now we will take the hit repair the tanks and be on our way. In terms of reporting problems on the forum I am done. We will take care of our self in the future.

Rich, I tend to agree the tank issue may be dependent on how much use the rig gets, but then there are others who full time and don't have issues. That being said, given number of failures you and others have had, there is obviously a problem. Since you reported your 06 failed even after adding straps, the only thing I can guess would be a flex issue in the plumbing when traveling leading to fatigue and cracking.
