5ver Drain Pipe Support Bracket Repairs
After we returned from cruising around in this summer, I noticed that two of the metal straps that support the exposed PVC drain pipes had broken. The clamps around the PVC was still good so I picked up some 1/8 flat bar at the local Tractor Supply to build a couple of braces out of heavier material. My metal working skills suck, but its secure now. I believe that given the length of pipe, and that my black tank will slowly leak (thus the external twist on gate), that miles of bouncing along with waste water inside took a toll on the cheap easy to install straps. Pics are after replacing the left side one, showing the busted right side and the busted brackes/bar stock. The cost was about $5 for 36". Just wanted to pass this along as something to check on
