Sounds like you have it under control, if you ran pink stuff into your fresh water tank, it will need flushed as well. Turn winterize switch off in the convenience center. I flush everything before turning on the water heater (after switching the water heater valve back on since there will be pink in hot water lines also) and turning both hot and cold water on. If you have a washer, you will have to run a couple of rinse cycles through it as well. We flush kitchen sink (including spray), bathroom sink and shower, toilet, and the outside faucet in convenience center, (while there crack open low point drains to get pink out of them as well). In addition we cycle washer rinse a couple of times and have to cycle dishwasher a couple of rinse cycles as well. Even if you miss some of the pink, it is non-toxic and will not hurt you. All of this is assuming you do not have water filters on your rig that were removed prior to winterizing.
