I agree with Steve. I replaced our fresh water tank drain spigot in just a few minutes. You'll just need that $3 spigot (buy 2 more + pipe clamps while you're at it at your nearest RV parts store) and some bedding caulk (I used 3M 4200 through-the-hull marine bedding compound) available at most hardware stores.
I had enough water tube inside the camper to pull out about 1.5 inches of slack. The only problem I had was: I had to cut the plastic water pipe at the spigot barb, because the tiny metal pipe clamp had a patina of oxidation, and I didn't want to chance destroying too much of my 1.5 inches of slack LOL! Make sure you have a pipe clamp to retain the water pipe to the new spigot barb (available at the RV parts store nearest you). Our water pipe at the barb end was in excellent condition, and not brittle at all. Make sure you verify yours.
