When I replaced my valves, I empty the tanks... then used the jacks to tilt my motorhome to the right. That eliminated any "dripping" that can occur. Overall, a pretty easy job... just keep the gaskets in place and straight!

I replaced both valves on our 07 Exec. All the above advice is good.
I thoroughly rinsed both tanks first. Make sure you have a comfortable work place with good light as it's easy to pinch the O-rings. I raised the coach all the way up on the air ride and sat on a small stool.
If this is your first attempt you might want to purchase spare seals.
These are the valves I used.

Anyone have any thoughts on replacing only the seals? The mechanisms look great as do the handles. Maybe just the seals need to be changed.

You can certainly replace only the seals... but the valves aren't that expensive and only want to do this job once every few years... so I just replaced both entire valve assemblies.
