Water Heater Seat Belt

Maybe it’s just me but it seems the water heater should be strapped down? I know it’s secured to the outside wall but some type of strap to prevent excess movement would be helpful IMO.

I have to strap my water heater down in my stationary house but I guess in an RV it’s not needed?
I added a ratchet strap and lightly snugged it up. Maybe it helps? Who knows?

Doubt the extra strap is needed, as water heater is mounted from outside. But, the extra strap won't hurt anything.

I kinda thought the same thing but hey, why not. I was already in there.
