Should be no water lines outside the camper. They would freeze in a minute if so.

"camper" = travel trailer?
Hot water line is usually a red PEX line inside, i.e. above the floor. It goes from water heater to bathroom and kitchen. It has no business being outside.
Both you gents should hold off on making such definitive statements which BTW ARE INCORRECT unless you know for a fact what you are saying is true. It is common for water lines that cross from one side of a trailer to the other to be UNDER THE FLOOR when you have an enclosed underbelly. This appears to be the case (the underbelly part) with the OP since he is referring a plastic type material (maybe coroplast).
For the OP there have been several recent threads discussing how to seal up this area if one has to open it up for repairs and I doubt you will find any sort of diagram of the line layout for your particular trailer readily available. Because of the underbelly mods I have done I don't have to worry about this issue, but IMO I would want something other than some sort of tape to repair any holes I might have made since I just think tape might not last long term down there. However, IIRC a lot have used things like Gorilla tape and I think there is even a special tape for things like coroplast to repair that. I have even see a recommendation for Eternabond, but that is definitely something I would not use.
