Umm, those pictures make it clear that this is a job way above my pay grade. 
I'll have DH look at 'em. They'll probably make perfect sense to him, since he's a logistics dude for a plumbing supply distributor here in the South.
Did you remove the lines that have the caps on them which are underneath the RV?
Sounds like cpaulsen just installed valves at that point.

Makes sense to me but maybe not to others until it happens and you get caught in a deep freeze camping. There is now no water in the exposed area under the belly, No water no freeze.

Well DUH! <whackin' my self upside da haid.
Of course that makes sense now! I was thinking singularly about storage/winterization....not while actually camping!

But, we camped in 22* weather in the V-Lite, and with the Rubber Tex on the low point drains they didn't freeze.
Not saying they wouldn't freeze in single digit temps!
Your mod is one definitely worth doin'. DH is gonna be busy! He's got awning poles to polish and install, now this.
Oh, and he's got the TV to install/mount in the BR.
Granted, the low point drain mod can wait a while. But the other two need doin' before April 4th.
And I'll give ya three guesses (first two don't count) where he's at and what he's doing this AM.

You may add Shark connectors to each drain. Then add valves.
