New to RVing

Just purchased my first ever RV, 1987 Ford Telstar 23 footer. Watched a ton of you tube videos regarding winterizing. All the videos are for newer clearly marked rigs. My girl ( yeah it’s a she) although well loved not much is marked. I’ve purchased the supplies just am not getting the pump to draw the pink stuff from the jug . Any help would be appreciated! Not sure how to post pictures on here so help with that would be nice too!

    Good for you! I would sure like to see some pictures of your rig some day.

    If I were to ever buy a motor home made between 1986 and 1995, the Telstar would be at the top of my list because they seem to be very well engineered with excellent materials. I especially liked the 1993-1995 model years. They were made in various lengths and floor plans, some with over-head sleeping quarters, some with entertainment systems up there, rear walk-around queen bed in the longer lengths, rear corner bed in the shorter lengths, something for almost everyone.

    Barbara Streisand owned what recall being a 1986 Telstar for some years. I think it had a purple interior motif. It was for sale on the internet some years ago.

    CLICK HERE to see one in the last year made in 1995.
  • I need to attach the pump to the jug with a section of hose but the connector doesn't fit right, so I have to hold it tight to make sure the pump draws from the jug. Then it works fine.
