Tank valves
The tank valves on my cedar creek silverback are cable type. The one for my black tank is getting hard to open. How do you lube it as it is hidden? Do I have to drop the belly pan?

Dump a bottle of mineral oil in the tank after it is emptied, and let it sit a bit if possible. It's cheap, and works quite well to lube the valve, as well as the mechanism in the toilet itself.

X2 to this. Have done the Thetford valve Lubricant, but it does not last long. Could only find Baby Oil at Wally world, which is mineral oil with fragrance, but it has worked well. Have had several dumps/cleans and valve still operates easily. Also, the baby oil was one quarter the price of the Thetford stuff.
