Thanks for sharing...the outside flange that holds the tank to the wall does not have screws. I’m thinking it’s just caulking sealed to camper. This video does not work for unmounting’ the Cougar tank! I did this change on my Crossroads Zinger back in 2009... but not the same.

If you remove the outside door, in the corners you'll find THREE (3) door frame screws that hold the assembly to the trailer. You'll need to also remove/disconnect the hot/cold plumbing, the 120VAC and 12VDC lines as well as the connections to the inside control panel (if there is one in your trailer).

Easy to do, just don't go "pulling or prying with a crowbar." It's designed to pull away fairly easily, so if it seems "stuck" chances are it is and you'll damage the trailer using a "bigger hammer approach"....
