"Graceful" force.
If I was in this situation, and it was this stuck, I would be looking very hard at removing the inlet from the RV first. Doing so just might save your bacon from damaging or twisting off the water line on the inside of said RV in a bad place to get to. Pex can take a lot of abuse but the stress of twisting it could cause leaks at other joints and connections.
Those outlets are screwed into virtually nothing but the thin sidewall with a couple of short screws, basically 1/16" thick fiberglass and maybe 1/8" plywood.. Won't take much to rip out the screws causing a much more expensive repair in the end.
If the waterline on the inside is connected via a crimp, cut it off allowing some space for a splice and when you put it back in you can use Shark Bite connectors to put it back together..
