Thank you to all. I do have a motorcycle jack and will see how to work it under the tank. Challenge is that the tank is 55 gallon and seems quite flexible when pushed on (thumped) from the bottom. It appears flush-mounted to the underside of the RV, so there's no peeking up there with a cell phone camera to get familiar with the layout/pump/lines. I have cleaned and/or replaced both of the frame to body grounds, but will look today if there is a specific ground on the tank.
You might want to lay a 3/4" plywood on top of the jack. use some 2x2 or 2x4 attached to the bottom of the sheet with screws (Down into the sheet) to make sure it does not slide off the jack if there is a possibility of that. Spread the load over the entire bottom of the tank (not sure how big the jack's top is) I've done much the same with automotive tanks using a standard floor jack and lumber to support tank.
But you want to be 200% sure it won't slide off cause that's a 1st class pain in the operating system.
