Lubing the open and shut valves for the gray and black tanks, the valves seem to be sticking as they by the previous owner keeper them open when winter camping then closed up when in storage so they did not see much moving action. So how and with what should I lub them?

what do you do with that, give your sink shower and toilet a shot before your next dump?

Except if you have an enclosed underbelly.

A petroleum based lube (WD40 et.al.) will likely not hurt ABS plastic but it will hurt rubber seals. A silicone i.e. Liquid Wrench Silicone Spray or a plumbers silicone grease.

No WD40 on plastics. Use something like Pledge spray, works great on plastics.
