How bad did i screw up???
Yesterday i was winterizing the Hybrid, everything was going good. Then it happened, i made a major blunder, :S as i was gently unscrewing the drain plug which i do every fall, it broke off completely...

Not enough information, but, sounds like your plug was plastic and you broke of the part of the plug that the wrench catches? So the threaded part of the plug is still in the tank and now there is no where to unscrew it?
If so, just go to any Home Depot type of store and get an easy-out. The plug is plastic, so it should drill in very easy (not like a metal broken bolt). And the easy out should just continue unscrewing the broken plug.
If this is what happened, its really easy to get that plug out, especially if the plug is plastic.
Suggestion, when you replace it, go to Home Depot or Lowes and get a PVC version rather than the plastic one from the camper dealer store. And then... remove it often and don't tighten so much, replace every year too.
Yes that is exactly what happened. I was hoping i could use an easy out and get it out without too much problem but didn't tackle it yesterday.
Now i should ad that the part that is left in there is hollow if that makes sense as the plug is solid towards the end of the plug but the end that is still in the tank is hollowed out. I was hoping and thinking an easy out would get it out without much problem but wanted to ask you guys first.
