Winnebago Micro Minnie 2108DS FLX Water Tank Support RESOLVED! $50 Fix

If you own a Winnebago Micro Mini FLX series, you know that the water holding tank is prone to fall out while traveling on rough terrain. It's actually no wonder these water tanks fall out when traveling. We own a 2022 Micro Mini FLX 2108 DS model.

The water holding tank is simply sitting up on two pieces of very thin angle iron. The water holding tank is not held in or secured at all and the angle iron they use from the factory on these tank holding systems is thin. Very thin. When you add 31 gallons of water to your Winnebago Micro Mini FLX it turns that water tank into a 300lb bomb waiting to drop!

Well, not being able to travel with water in the RV tank is first of all, STUPID and second of all, inconvenient. When I pay nearly $40,000 for an RV I expect it to work as it should.

The factory at Winnebago isn't going to jump through hoops to fix this problem so, Joelle and I decided we'd fix it ourselves.

Given the fact that we will be traveling across a number of very rough terrains with our Micro Mini 2108 FLX camper, we wanted to reduce our stress some by adding some extra support to the tank.
In this video, I am going to show you exactly how we did this for less than $50, some elbow grease, and a little time.

I am pleased with how this camper modification turned out and I hope through this video you too are inspired to do your own repair and get your RV ready for some serious off road travel. The way is SHOULD be to begin with.

The parts I used are as follows
