What you're asking can be very coach-specific. We have a different coach and I hesitate to reply, but it may help...
On our 2008 HR Admiral there is a small hatch in a compartment on the opposite side of the coach from the wet bay. If that hatch is open, the wet bay becomes a "pass-through" compartment. The hatch is small- maybe 18 inches wide and 12 inches high. I can squeeze through it if I put my arms in first. The black tank valve is about two feet from the hatch. I believe the hatch also gives access to the Ford's fuel pump.
I can get access to the grey tank valve by removing the white valve panel in the wet bay. The black tank valve is way up in there, and I could get at it the same way, but it's almost impossible to reach the cable clamp from that approach.
As are yours, both valves on our coach are cable-driven. And we have a very small leak-by on one of the valves (probably the grey) that will have me working on them when warm weather returns. I'm also thinking of ways to replumb the drain piping to eliminate the valve cables.
I rebuilt the wet bay in our coach last summer. Here's
