My Anger Meltdown over Service Dept.
Today,I had a nice leisurely drive to the dealership where I purchased my travel trailer. I was just taking it to have the antifreeze flushed out of the water lines. All went well until I got home....

Personally? I think you should find a mobile (or stationary) RV technician, explain what you went through, pay them to guide you through the process of winterizing/de-winterizing (and possibly making a few upgrades that would make this process easier for you) so you can do this yourself.
While you're with this technician, have him/her look at your sewer vent pipe - rain CAN fill your black/gray tanks if there's no cap on the vent.
Most RV maintenance is pretty simple if someone will just explain the hows and whys.

On edit: actually, knowing how to winterize could be critical: if you are happily camping up in the mountains this summer and a cold front comes through, you *might* need to winterize; and not have time for a service person to do this for you. Or, if you are enjoying a sunny place during the winter, and a freak snowstorm heads your way... I've seen it happen many times. Not everyone is lucky enough to have heated, enclosed tanks and plumbing lines.
