Water Valve problems

RE: 2000 Coachmen Leprechaun
These early units were equipped with a water valve panel: 5 knobs each for fill, use, drain, winterize and the middle one "Winterize/Suction Fill". They have since discontinued the 'panel' use. Each valve is pressure-fitted, and two have blown out on me.

Coachmen told me that they would have to be removed and replaced and I suppose retro-fitted back on. I do not know where to find replacement valves, and have no idea whatsoever how to remove the leaking ones.
(I'm new to RVing in general, and RV's in particular.) Meantime, I'm hauling water daily. I have a picture of the unit but can't seem to insert it here. Any brilliant thoughts?
