Added a couple more clamps just for good measure.
While I was under there, I replaced the black blade valve which was jammed (...after getting to it, I saw it was just some toilet paper that was easily removed, but since I had the new blade valve I decided to just change it.
There's one thing I would do differently...the 3" rubber coupling that I used was 4 inches long. This actually pushed the whole valve/drain assembly over by about 2 inches. I have since found that they make these couplings in sizes less than 4 inches. So if I replace the other one I will probably use one of these instead since it isn't as long...

Did a small water leak test and so far so good.
Happy Camping!
