Angry 2019 Springdale 275BH Leaking Hot water tank?

Anyone experience a leaky hot water tank with this model? Now we are concerned it has created water damage under our flooring. We have an extended warranty but have been told flooring is never covered?! What?

What brand/model of water heater? Specs say 6 gal. so guessing it's an Atwood? Leaking where, from what? Loose connections etc. won't be covered by anything.

Is the tank itself leaking and how did you determine that? On my last trailer the Atwood 6 gal. began leaking at about the 1 1/2 yr. mark. The welded seam on the tank just oozed water slowly creating a big pool under it. Found it because it came out under the enclosure it was in and spread in the floor. It did not cause any permanent damage. Although it would have still been in warranty I was traveling and didn't have the time or patience to go thru all the hoops so went to the local CW which had one, bought it and installed it.

Yep a 6 gallon. It wasn't a loose connection but a leak right through the tank itself (we have video) This happened on our 7th trip out?! Thankfully we have an extended warranty and we are taking it in. We are also hoping the floor isn't now damaged. Wow how cheaply are these things really built?
