Water tank security

Last weekend we went camping with no hookups and filled our fresh water tank to nearly full. I didn't really pay attention to it until we made a stop and I did my normal walk around. I looked under the trailer and then noticed that the water tank had a considerable sag in the middle. A full tank weighs about 224 lbs, which is far amount of weight at the back of the trailer. A bumpy road would put a fair amount of stress on the attach points. In the future, I may consider dropping the tank and welding angle brackets in the center to add another strap. Anyone else notice this and have any concerns? Maybe I just think about things too much! The picture is shown with the tank nearly empty and is attached to just show the location of the straps. Thanks, Bob
