I was told that apparently Winnebago / Itasca design of the grey / black water tank is such that the tank needs to be dropped in order to replace the valve??
NO!
Do NOT let them take your tank down. In fact do NOT even take your MH there!
Call a CG near you and ask who they use for RV Mobile Repair or ask them to take the number of one of their business cards they post on the bulletin board. Or if you are lucky you can google 'RV Mobile Repair' in your area. They will come out to you where your RV is even if it is at your house and they will tell you the TRUTH about what needs to be done. AND will have all the parts needed right on board their truck to fix it.
I've never heard of any MH that the valves could not be accessed from the outside. The valve that might need to be replaced is 'right above,part of' where the pull handle is.
This is PB Blaster found at any hardware store, walmart or big box store.
darn photo editor won't let me reduce pic sorry
THIS is what the valve gate looks like that might need to be replaced if you don't get the pull rod freed up.
They are 'outside' your tank. NO need to drop tank.
Good Luck. Call the RV Mobile Repair guy. They won't lie to you! :W
