Also, be aware that the newer parts may not be as robust as the old parts. I have a 23 year old Norcold fridge still running well. I doubt that a similar unit build today would last half that long. We got one of the new Dometic AC/DC compressor units in the store last year and we were running it on the floor for demo. It died after 4 months.
The OP is obviously handy. Why not do a little PM? THe more you know about your rig, the better off you'll be when something breaks.
If you do this and your piping isn't a straight shot from the outlet to the valves (like the OP's is), then I would drill a hole in the downstream side of the piping and put an 1/8" pipe plug in it so I could squirt some silicone spray in there once a year.
