Well I got the bottom off. Thankfully it’s not the tank but the plastic nipple that screws into the tank for the drain. There is about 5 inches of plastic water pipe down to the valve. Stupid of Forest River to not use copper for something very exposed to the elements.

Copper is not a good choice for some water chemistry. I know it’s not allowed here for houses on well water, as the water will corrode it pretty quickly.

Best bet would be to replace it with pex line. It rigid yet flexible.

I can remember when trucking industry used copper for air lines; From that experience I would not want to use for water on a vehicle.
And can't understand why use for propane lines.
