Bob,
IIRC, all Coachmen tanks' connections were slip joints (grommets with
inserted pipes). If that's the case, seems to me all you've got to do is
remove the straps holding the tanks up and lower them. For peace of mind,
I guess the thing to do is get a hold on any stubs you can reach and pull
them up first.

Coachmans did different things, so it's hard to know till one looks at it
from the top.
