I've only spent 4 or 5 hours looking at this thread, so I haven't read it all. Anyone reposition the handles on their waste tank valves to someplace where you don't have to kneel in who knows what kind of ick and goop to open and close them? You would think this would be a common modification. I really want to do it, but there doesn't appear to be kits available with mounting brackets and cables and such. Tell me how you did it. Thanks.
I did something to get around that. Let's see if I can get a couple photos in here. They're sorta self-explanatory, but I'll add a bit of narration:
This first one is how the handles are WAY up under the skirt. I was in your situation and needed a fix, quick! (lost a handle and got it replaced later)

I had a couple access doors cut in, and now I can easily reach the handles. Here's a shot of how it looks all completed.

Hope that helps.
