We both purchased the new valve system from a reputable dealership in the area for $56 with tax and installed it ourselves.
Imagine how much you would've paid if you couldn't do it yourself? And they would probably take days or weeks to get to it, to boot! LOL In that sense, you got off cheap! :R

Next year we will both due a better job and use the pink stuff throughout the entire system rather than simply blowing it out.
I've never used the pink stuff in our water system. The manual which came with our motorhome states to blow the water out of the lines to winterize. So, I have always blown out the lines and never had a problem.
Does your toilet also have a spray hose connected? You need to blow EVERYTHING out. You also have to make sure your air compressor can maintain the proper pressure and you keep each valve open individually until little, if any, water/mist is blowing out. I usually go around a second time to make sure, which only takes a few minutes after the initial blow out.
I also engage and run the water pump with the compressor connected which I'm assuming blows out any water which might be kept in the pump. Again, never had an issue with the pump.
I do usually put a bit of the pink stuff into each drain, but that's it. Never in the fresh water system.
