Review on Valterra R8012 ABS Water Tank by Adam Browning

After a year of use I have decided to replace this tank. There were just too many leaks. The first appeared within 3 months. The inner supports are welded directly to the outside of the tank. Everything is fine, except that the walls of the tank expand and contract a little when filling or emptying. This movement led to the formation of holes at some weld points. Of course, my tank is oriented vertically, but I haven't found anything to indicate that the tank would not withstand the stress in that configuration. Well, obviously it can't. It should be laid exactly with the large side resting on a hard and smooth surface. It has no structure to support its own weight in any other filling - this should probably be added to the item description.
