Enjoyingthejourney,
As someone else asked, did you get heat BEFORE you did the flush?
If not, I can tell you that a lot of units in that era had cut-off valves which allowed some hot coolant to leak through the heater core even when off. The problem with this is that during the summer months, the A/C would not be cold...cool at best due to the hot coolant in the heater.
How long have you had this motorhome? If since new, then the following probably doesn't apply. But if you just picked it up this past year, then perhaps the following might apply.
To solve the issue, many of us (me included) installed a manual value inline with the other heater valve to completely stop the flow during the summer months. Works GREAT...during the summer. That first trip in the Fall when you need heat, you have to remember to turn the valve back on. LOL
Good Luck and welcome to the Forums,
