Fresh and black water tank removal

I am about to take out and replace the subfloor in my 1970 overlander. Can I take out my fresh and black water tanks from above and replace them the same way. I'm not planning on removing my belly pan. Was really hoping to do this from above.

Probably not. There are probably 1" square steel tubes that run parallel to but between the main frame rails that help support the floor between the wide span between the frame rails.
You don't have to remove whole belly pan to get the tanks out, just the pieces below the tanks.

We just pulled the fresh water tank and the cover of the grey and black tanks. It was surprisingly easy. Ill post pics.

This was an 87 excella mid bath but it looks like it might be impossible to pull from the top. If you're going to pull the floor out anyway then you'll know right away. And if it doesn't look like it will come up, its maybe an hour job to drop them from the bottom.
