Sharksndwich - I'm not going to be much help with the waste valves,
I still haven't serviced them!
The waste valves on our unit are still working pretty well and I have just been kicking that can down the road...
This thread is a good reminder that I need to get them done..
The last time that we were at the factory I asked the tech who was working on our trailer about servicing the waste valves. He said that they usually just cut and patch the plastic pans.
If you decide to cut the pans just be careful not to cut too deeply since there is only about an inch between the plastic pan and the tank.
Our fresh water tank was cracked due to an over-tightened fitting so I did remove that pan and tank. I added the sensor for the See-Level Tank Monitor system on the fresh water tank so I'll probably drop the pans on my waste tanks for access to install the SeeLevel sensors on the waste holding tanks when I service the valves.
If you decide to remove the straps and pans, the only thing holding the tanks will be the plumbing - make sure the tanks are
completely empty.
