Here's the Plumbing Diagram for your coach. Unfortunately, this valve isn't shown very well on the diagrams. The pipe you are referring to is the fresh water tank drain, controlled via a cable operated blade valve. This valve is described on page 88 of the Operator's Manual for your coach.

Valterra T1001PBC 1-1/2" Valve Body
Here's a replacement seal kit: Valterra T1001-9VP Bladex 1-1/2" Valve Seal with Hardware, (Set of 2)
I just replaced that valve on my 2005 Vectra last year because it developed a leak--I initially replaced just the seals, but ended up replacing the entire valve because I still had a leak (so now I have the spare seals available for next time). On my coach access was straightforward from underneath, after removing the insulated sheet metal panel from under the water tank. (I made some large wooden ramps/blocks to drive the front of the coach up onto to give me adequate height to work safely underneath without danger.)
