Any idea how much stuff is in the tanks? I might suggest pumping out the black tank through the toilet to get most of the stuff out. If there is any way to pump out the gray tank, try to empty that through a sink drain somehow.
Then your valves should be screwed on to the pipes. I would put a big Rubbermaid container under the pipes and remove the valves completely. See if you can fix them or else just replace them. If you're able to pump most of the stuff out through toilet and sink drains, there shouldn't be too much spilling out.
Best of luck. Situations like this are tough, which is why I cringe when I see people trying to use campers to "save money". Unless you park it someplace cheap and can fix things yourself, they are going to consistently cost money. Hate to see people live beyond their means when the luck runs out. Hopefully you can find a way to fix this situation for her in the short term.
Merry Christmas.
