Hi Dan,
Assuming it's a stock wet bath, yes you do have to remove the toilet and
flange there is a short plastic pipe that is threaded into the top of the
tank and the flange. IIRC the sink drain is pushed into a rubber "grommet"
and will pull out. Other than the sensor wiring and the output pipe it's
just 2 straps to remove. I think there are pix somewhere, Gene Fisher may
have them, I'm sure someone else will pipe up with additional info, good
luck.

when I got a new black tank, I did not let them open the sender hole, When
the fresh water tank is empty, the black tank is full -- time to dump ;>)

Dan,
I am in the process of redoing the dark tank as well. Well yes you take out
the screws and unscrew the flange from the dark tank. Make sure the two
metal straps that secure the tank are off and then you should be able to
manipulate the tank out. BEWARE when taking the metal straps off try to save
the carriage bolts that come through the floor! If they are rusted somehow
get the nut off. I made the mistake and cut the bolt off. Well the one
closest to the front passenger side of the coach is under the bath module
and impossible to get to unless you want to remove your entire bath which is
not fun. If you save the bolts you should be able to do this easily, cut the
bolts and thats another story.
Hope this helps.
