Shari, ask your better half if there is ever, or ever has been, an inadequate excuse for buying a new tool!

Plus, I am in no mood to take the double dump valve apart, the rest of the belly under the tanks, and then get the black tank (in the Sovereign) out. I'd much rather putz around for a month and figure out if I can do this the lazy guy way!

The fresh tank (in the Safari) will be easy in comparison. It's just a straight 4" crack and is totally accessable from above through an existing cutout in the floor.
