boots1950 What Brand of trailer is it ?? What type of trailer is it, TT or 5th wheel  What model trailer is it ?? Where are you going to place the screws How long of Screws ?? All these need to answered do to the fact different trailer have different locations where black an gray tanks are located not only that but fresh water tanks as well  Safe Travels Chuck |

Before running screws in anywhere, you need to investigate. There are water lines and wiring to be concerned about as well as tanks. You will never find two trailers exactly alike so don't expect anyone to be able to positively identify safe screw locations.

boots1950 Fresh, black, gray water tanks are located between metal/steel cross members under the trailer an held up ny metal straps in most case's ... If you follow the black an gray water bump tubes these tube are located in the center of each tank most times an the under belly will have a hump or drop in it indicating were such is ... There will be some screws holding the under belly up, these screws are attached to cross members holdin such up so you pretty much know where those cross members are ... Most time but not always you can push on the underbelly an tell were a cross members is, but as lynnmor stated do more investigating to make sure you know where you tanks are before drilling ... As stated the tanks should be between cross members an not across any cross members ... If you are going to drill down thought the floor I would measure were your cross members are an then make such inside your trailer this you have a pretty good idea where they are ... Once you know where the cross members are you cam measure either from the front or rear of the trailer to see were your tanks are sitting more or less thus not drilling into them from the top down ... Of course you more or less know where your black water tank is do to the fact most toilets but not all sit directly over the black water tank Hope this helps Safe Travels Chuck |

If you look under your trailer you should see some tubes hanging down, they may be red or blue or both, these
tubes with petcocks on them are the drains for your fresh water tank along with your hot water heater ...
This will give you a pretty good indication of were your fresh water tank is, most but not all the time as
I have see such the petcocks are on the left side of the tank an between two metal cross bar supports ...
You should see a black drain pipe coming from your black water tank to the drivers side of the trailer,
most but not all the time this drain line is attached to the center of your black water tank ... Off to
the side either left or right should be your gray water tank, there should be a smaller black tube coming
from it an that tube is connected to the center of the gray water tank ... Ther should be some type of hump
or drop in your under belly to indicate were these are ...
Remember that all these tanks are strapped an supported between to metal cross members so once you find the
center of such your cross members should be to the left or right of the tank ... There should an I should
be some type of screws holding the under belly material up an thus you can see were a cross member is in some
but not all case's ...
I say this
