Coachmen Freelander low point drain valve

Dear RV'ers. You all have helped me so much in the last year, and I so appreciate it. I have put over 10,000 miles on my Coachmen Freelander and even took a solo trip this month. Everything is going great, except for one little problem, I can't get the low point drain valve open to drain the fresh water tank. The manual says it needs to be parallel to the hose, but it will not budge. Now, it is behind a drawer so it is difficult to access. Does anyone have any advice for how to get it "unstuck". I have a picture of it but can't figure out how to add a picture to my post.

    I have a Coachmen 2018 Prism with the same problem. The is a knob in the back wall of the bedroom and it says, "Low Drain Point". Can't seem to find any info in the owner's manuals.

    I see water dripping out just below this knob outside and at the bottom of the coach. It is coming out of a pipe. When I run the water it increases, so, might be the drain is slightly opened on the gray tank. However, can't budge the knob. Will try so WD-30.

    Any one else has ideas please advise. Thanks in advance.

    Success! I sprayed more WD40, put on gloves and viola, I was able to open the valve.

    NO ONE has any ideas for me??? I've tried tapping it with a hammer, unscrewing the little tiny screw on top, spraying it with WD40 and it will not budge. I hate to take my RV in just because I can't drain the fresh water tank, but I guess I'm going to have to.
