Like steel pegs.
Does anyone have experience/suggestion as to what type of tool works best to remove the steel pegs.
Thanks

You didn't mention what year your rv is and it isn't in your signature.
My 2019 Montana High Country 384 br is doing the same thing. I noticed it over the weekend when I saw the icicle. I didn't even know there was a drain there. much less one exposed to the cold. Sure wasn't pointed out to me when I bought it and nothing in the useless owner manual.
I used as much water as I could with the water pump and then I thawed it out with a heat gun and opened the valve and drained the tank. Left the valve open. That was Saturday. It's still dripping, at first it was dripping out of the drain valve, now it's like yours, dripping down the drain pipe and out of the foam they foamed around the hole in the coroplast.
I initially thought that the freezing of the drain valve had traveled up into the pipe above, and cracked the pipe or a fitting, and when the tank emptied completely it would stop. Since it's still dripping I'm wondering if it's coming from the useless outside shower at the rear of the unit. That's the only plumbing close by.
I know it's aggravating. I'm not touching it, will take it in for warranty when I get laid off and haul it home or sooner if it gets real bad.
I'll be interested to see what you find in there.
