We flushed out the anti-freeze and sanitizing water system. Blew out and cleaned hot water heater and furnace, Then lit both, things are looking good We are going rain or shine because it's time.

Just got back from our Maiden voyage. We recently purchased a 2004 Gulfstream Friendship G7. It was a good learning experience, with the biggest problem getting hot water to flow. After we returned home we learned that the water manifold needs to have valve #9 off on the hot side and #9 on on the cold side, problem solved.

We had a great time. We are putting new tires on tomorrow, and we should be comepletely ready for an exciting summer. Good luck with your first outing.

We are going on our maiden voyage of the year after getting the old gal out of storage. Been camping for about 30 years, 4 travel trailers,1 5'er, and on our 3'rd MH. We are going to a local county park to walk in a right to life fund raiser on saturday. Hope we have better weather than what we been having.
