Low Point Drain repair

I am doing the winterization on my 2016 178 and have run into a snag. At the tail end of the winterizaton process, I was tightening the low point drain plug and it snapped off. I removed the hose clamp, and have attempted to pull out the end of the drain plug  that is still inside of the blue hose coming from the trailer. It (the broken end of the drain plug) will spin inside the blue hose, but I cannot get it to come out.

Somebody has to lead the way!!!

The hose is flexible, right? Can you use a pair of pliers to squeeze the stuck part until it breaks, then remove the pieces?

Perhaps more than you want to deal with, but I would replace the length of hose from the t fitting just inside the floor located inside the kickplate panel under the sink. Carefully use a razor blade or exacto knife to cutout the caulking around the drain hose. While you're at it, replace the clamp t-fitting under there with a proper Pex fitting. Two compression sides to one bayonet side. If your dinette is in the slide out, have it extended for an easier reach.

If you don't want to replace the whole fitting you can simply release the clamp from the top, replace the hose with any length of hose you want from the local RV repair tool counter, clamp it again at the t-fitting, and re-caulk. Then put a better quality Pex style drain valve on the 'business' end so this won't happen again.

Life is all about choices and I've found some of Forest River's choices to be peculiar. I plan on replacing these drains with a better quality fitting in the spring.
