How can I access the front black water tank?

I have a 2012 Cedar Creek Silverback 35 QB4. How can I get to the front black water tank?

Front or rear? To do what? You can drop the Chloroplast bottom plastic and come at it from the bottom.

If it has the 4 foot panels like most do, they can be unscrewed and removed. It is a bit of a bear to do on some panels. Unscrew the panels, screws run from one side to other. Pull panel down in middle and it will eventually pop out of the I-beam flange. Then you'll have to deal with the foil backed insulation. I got mine off, but you'll probably have some choice words in the process.Click image for larger version

At least in Heaven, RVs will be perfect, and I won't have to keep fixing them.

Thanks. I figured I would have to remove an underbelly panel. My water level sensor only shows low even when the tank is full of water. I have flushed it using different methods including ice and water with no luck. I want to check the sensors on the tank itself. Thanks.

Yep. Mine shows 3/4 full all the time. Some have had doing the 48 hour "cleaning" with the RV Digest it stuff. That's my plan when we get where we can stay out of it for a few days.

Sensors on yours should be on the off door / drivers side. Black tank should be the most forward tank of the bunch.

If you can get to your sensors, replace them with these:
Amazon.com: Horst Dynamic BL232 Black Water Tank Probe, (Pack of 4): Automotive

End of problem
