We have a 2009 Jayco Travel trailer, in 2015, had to replace the hot water heater. The tank had split at the top rear. I was certain I had performed all the winterizing tasks as I normally did in the past, However, be it as it may, replaced it with another Atwood unit. Because I had drained the tank and placed the plug back in, perhaps it was the cause, but knowing how much water would be needed to cause this to split, I doubted it. So, replaced it, and now this last weekend, found it split again, I am baffled by what could cause this, this even has friends of mine that work with metals baffled.
And yes, it was drained, I know this as I forgot the drain was open when filling the tank and had to go out and close it.
Anyone else have this issue? Any ideas?
