Should be no problems , keep an eye on the waste tank for foam build up .
If you wanted , you could buy silicon lubricant spray from your local toolshop ....it will defoam also ,  you can use the spray then to keep your brass quick connects lubricated .

I don't use defoamer all that often however its always on the van since i had a job where the entire lounge had been cleaned with vanish foam  :o. I use prochem powdered defoamer as it can be sprinkled on really bad spots too.
