I capped two of the vent hoses with rubber plugs, then used the third one to hold a one-way check valve, which will let air in (preventing collapse if I forget to remove the rubber plug) but will not...

I don't care what mv means, but I'm definitely worried about why it isn't capitalized. :)

I fill the hole with Gorilla Glue, let it cure overnight and then drill a small pilot hole in the glue. It allows me to use the original screws in the original location and has held up well.

I'm guessing that accidentally leaving the on-demand hot water heater switch on is no big deal, since there should never be any flow (anti-freeze or "air") sufficient to start the burner?

You hook it up through fresh water fill, and just open the faucets to let air replace the water.

My spin is that there is always some water left behind, and some condensation of air in the lines as ambient temps drop. If that's enough water to collect in a low point then you do risk pipe...

I did nearly the exact same in our 29mv, also adding a toggle switch to the 12v line to disconnect it when not in use. I just put the Jetpack inside the cabinet for best wifi reception within the MH.
