Well, I tried to dump my tank for the first time - it is completely full. But it is like the waste valve (standard for 26' '73, rear bed) is welded closed. I doubt anybody has tried to open it for a year.

Now what? Do I apply a slide hammer to pull the handle? Jury rig some kind of gear puller thingee for the handle?

Should I have a sanitation service pump the tank *before* breaking the valve?

Enquiring minds need to know!
