    [RC] water tanks and safety - Paddi


    Something to think about before you put 30 to 40 gallons of liquid on a hay rack.
    A full water tank weighs about 350 pounds or more.
    Is your trailer structurely built for this weight on its roof? Not all are since it was probably not in the original design specs.
    What happens if you have to stop fast? Is whatever it is tied to going to hold it. There is a real safety issue if the tank lets go.
    Check with your insurance and find out if you are covered or need more coverage.
    There are lots of things to think about.
