   I have them on my Jeep but not the Pod!  I never thought about doing that but it is a good idea.  I have taken my camper off road so really I should have thought of doing that.  Thanks for coming up with the idea!

	I have not heard/read where anyone has done this. Can you describe what happened? It sounds like a custom welding/metal work job is in order. I am toying with the idea of upsizing my water tank from 27 gallons to a 40 or 50 gallon size. There are several web sites where these can be purchased. If/when I do so, I intend to take the camper to a local welding shop and have them fabricate 1 or 2 cross braces of 1" steel square tubing for center support. Or, being ever thrifty, I may just bolt something together here at home. If you were to do something like this, I would think that putting a metal or diamond plate "skin" fastened to the supports would be fairly straight forward. My Pod had no center support for the water tank and bulged downward quite a bit when full of water. My neighbor did something like this to his 5th wheel and is pleased/more comfortable. My Coleman does have one center support, but it is very flimsy and bent downward after the first use. Sorry to hear about the problem. I wish I could be of more help.

	Has anybody installed skid plates or belly armor? I have to replace my fresh water tank and would like to avoid doing that in the future.
