I like this suggestion, easy to do and inexpensive. Is that Dawn dish soap?

The best lubricant for rubber is soap. Once a year I split a bottle of Dawn between the two tanks, let that brew until my first dump station visit. We also use extra soap to wash dishes & bathe, & for the black tank, we just add some dawn between trips to the dump station. I've never had a problem in many years, and the valves operate like Goerge said, a hot knife through soft butter... ;D

Wyatt,
Dawn is a brand of liquid dish detergent.  It is even used to remove wax from the fiberglass.
