Not a chance that I would wait for that time period. Can we assume (there's that word) that you are speaking of one of the two handles in the service center? If so, locate the subject black tank under the RV. Remember, the most likely exit on the tank will be at the driver's side or the rear of the tank. You will need to make a small cut in the coroplast initially to first locate the offending valve, and then a large opening so you can work on the valve and find out what the problem is. Your first cut should be about 6-8" long by 6-8" wide, just an 'L' cut so you can pull it aside and see with a flashlight the exact location of the valve. Have a second party try to operate the valve while you watch the action at the valve. If it something that you can repair, make your cuts longer, now in a 'U' shape, leaving the front of the flap towards the front of the trailer. The flap is easily repaired with a number of goodies, most common being black Gorilla tape. You may very well have some insulation on top of the coroplast.
At this point, have your wife get her hands up in there and move the insulation out of the way. She's done very little at this point, so let her suffer!
Yes, I'm just having a little fun here. Better that no one fools with the insulation without some disposable latex gloves!
You will possibly find a binding cable or something simple as this. You also may find this cable being 9' long and just too stiff to work properly. Keep us up on your progress.
