RV city water connector..

To remove the hose portion you cut off, you will need to work from center of the hose towards the outside of the RV fresh water connector.
You do not want to break or damage the plastic part inside the RV fresh water connector, that is the check valve which prevents water from spraying out when you run your on board water pump.
Depending on if your hose that you cut off was brass or plastic removal would be accomplished by crushing the brass portion of the hose you cut off and then using needle nose pliers to to try to turn the hose portion.. Plastic would require cutting out with a pretty small saw or perhaps a hot plastic cutting knife..
Alternately, you could remove the RV fresh water connector from the RV, then you could submerge that entire part in vinegar or CLR for a few days and see if you can get it to move.. Once removed, reinstall the RV fresh water connector..
Once you have this fixed, to avoid this from happening again, make sure this connection is not dripping, seeping or leaking at any time.. Depending on age of the RV, sometimes you need to replace the rubber gasket that fits inside the Fresh water connector as they do wear out or get hard.
Replacement gaskets are cheap, 30 count for less than $5..
