There is no reason why an empty tank would affect the knobs.  Since you
haven't a lot of experience with such repairs recommend going to an RV
dealer for servicing.  Learning on things that go " boom" is not a good
idea.

To replace my screen with no-see-um screen, I removed the pop top and then
removed the canvas cover.  Took me about two hours to get the top off.  A
canvas shop repaired two worn spots in the canvas and replaced the screen
for around C$75.  Took about four hours to put the top back on.
