[VAC] Re: black tank removal



Can someone outline the process for removing a black water tank on a 60's
model AS?  My specific concerns are how it should be done so as to avoid
damage to the tank and the stuff connected to it (dump valve and toilet).  I
want to rebuild the supports that hold the tank.

My tank is fine (I think), but the steel cross-member on the rear of the
tank is so rusty that I'm afraid to put a load on it.  I suspect the front
is similar.  The galvanized pan beneath it is also quite rusty and it bulges
slightly at the bottom.   

For what it's worth, I have frame separation, too.  Perhaps the two projects
should be done in tandem--I don't know.
