Ron, since it needs to be replaced anyway, a pry bar might be the answer. I
believe the Univolt is attached to the floor with wood screws. I had a '71
and a ' 73 Airstream but don't remember the Univolt set up on either. The '
72 might have been different anyway. I would find an alternative to taking
out the bathroom. The Univolt isn't worth that much effort. Big hammer?
Whatever it takes.

Dan,
Here's the web page for the only on demand I've found that is rated and
designed for RV's. Also fits into same space as original tank.

I too have the Univolt behind the tub (1974 rear bath, 29' A/S). I have
been contemplating the replacement of the LOUD Univolt for 2 years and have
decided that the easiest way to get to the back screws is to cut the access
hole larger. If someone has a better way please let us know.
Thanks

Subject: Re: tongue set-up
HI JIm
Your message set off an alarm in my head and I went out and checked the
tongue on my A/S and I found 8 (3/8") holes drilled in one side of the "A"
frame. I assume, this was where an anti-sway mechanism was installed at one
time.
I can not see inside the the channel to check for damage. I scratching
around, thru the holes, with a length of coat hanger & could not detect any
rough spots. What would be the best way of closing up the holes to prevent
any future damage?
Thanks
