Viking 12000 ROK water tank fell out

I have a 2025 Viking 12000 ROK, and last week the water holding tank fell out. The support bracket is held in place with 4 (2 on each end) self tapping sheet metal screws, which obviously failed. I didnt hit anything and the road was smooth. When I purchased the camper from the dealer there was a recall for the tank straps, they checked it said it was good. Yestersay talking to Forest River I learned the recall was to ensure the straps wrapped around both support brackets and the tank. It clearly does not. I asked the rep if they could share with me the recall and the remedy which was supposed to have been done they told me they could not. So I went online and found the recalls. There is two for the holding tank. One to ensure the straps are properly installed and the second for the brackets not being strong enough to support the weight of the tank (thin guaged steel). Tomorrow I have my appointment to drop it off for inspection and repair. If you own or are thinking of buying one of these campers. Check the tank yourself.

Tapered sign edge help

How do I create a tapered edge on a sign like this? Ive read about doing an offset but all that does is create two lines and does not remove all the material. Any help would be appreciated

ACDF C3-6 advice and personal experiences

Im a (m46) potentially facing fusion on 2 or 3 levels, depending on the doctor. Id like to hear your thoughts, personal experiences and what are your limitations of motion in your neck and how it affects your daily routine?

MRI from October 2025 shows:

i have disc degeneration

C3-4 normal

C4-c5 some paracentral osteophyte/disc complex projecting posteriorly and latterly by 2mm in that narrows the AP dimension of the spinal canal to approximately 7.5mm and does result in some left sided neural forming stenosis

C5-c6 Broad based disc bulging and osteophytic spurring slightly asymmetric to the left in that it narrows the AP dimension of the spinal canal to 7.6mm with some left sided neural foraminal stenosis related to some ungovernable spurring

First surgeon I met with (orthopedic) suggested doing those two levels, c4-5 and c5-6, in and out procedure no neck brace.

Second surgeon I met (neuro surgeon) requested a ct scan prior to appointment, the ct scan shows the narrowing starts at c3-4. suggest doing fusion on three levels starting c3-4, c4-5 and c5-6. One night in hospital and neck brace for 6-8 weeks. He feels that would give me maximum relief of my symptoms. The NP said the doc is a stickler for one night stay in hospital and neck brace being overly cautious.

I believe if I only did the two levels 4-6, the next level I would need potential surgery on the 3-4 level but im worried I might be jumping the gun doing the third level. Maybe I might need it the future maybe not. And how long until I need a second surgery. Please share your thoughts or personal experiences. Thank you in advance.
