I use our 4 way tire iron. One of the sockets fits perfect no muss no fuss.

DUH!!!! I didn't have to replace any bolts. I loosened both bolts slightly and rotated the clamp slightly to the left which raised the bolt closest to the drain plug enough that I can get a socket extension through. Sometimes the simplest option is the least obvious. Go figure!

Here's my issue. Bolts on clamp are too long. What is this wire that's clamped on here?
That clamp is an electrical ground wire clamp. If it is on the gas line ,Remove it and seek another area(like on the frame) to ground the wire. That will allow you access to the drain plug when you remove the clamp from that gas line. Using a dissimilar metal plug from what the heater tank is made of will setup electrolysis and erode the aluminum heater tank and could even******up the plug and threads so bad that you cannot remove it.

ckwjl, I would install a plastic fitting in the tank and then use the brass check valve.
10forty2, that is unnecessary as the iron gas line is grounded to the chassis through the mounting brackets.

The hollowed out nylon Atwood plugs, according to Atwood tech, may blow out rather then rupturing tank if freezes.
