This van is now sold to a lovely lady in close proximity to me (meaning I might be able to buy it back in couple of years ).

Thanks for all the help and info. Circumstances change obviously, you never know, so... I'm still around occasionally, keeping an eye on the 'next one'.

Email elma071@hotmail.com or call 831-6zero1-62six7 About 2-3 weeks ago I bought this van from this forum. Drove it from Dallas, TX to Monterey Bay, CA with many detours along the way. It was SO great, but my personal circumstances have changed so I decided to re-sell it before its registration expi...

Hi Skater, so I've been told you're the man to ask: now that I have that b190 vin# (1b9....) what do I do with it? I read in other topics that last digits are production / unit numbers and such, but is there a database somewhere where you enter your vin# and out pops all kinds of info? Kinda like Ca...

Ok thank you both. One step at a time, I guess...

BUMP! Couch will be the first thing to go when I start working on mine (1995). Has anyone taking it out, and how? Thanks.

Yea the ford vin # just gives you basic information about the chassis being they were sold incomplete. I believe there's a link on the site to find out more about airstream vin# Sent from my SM-G360T1 using Tapatalk I just bought a Carfax report for the Ford Vin # but still cannot figure out what t...

Done!

Repairs add up quickly three months ago $2700 for a transmission last month $500 shocks a year ago I replaced exhaust manifolds with a tune up and belts and hoses was $2900. Ok, now I AM scared! $3K for belts and hoses? When can I expect transmission to go? I wish I had a good, trustworthy mechanic...

I don't know much about auto-repairs and engines, but my thinking all along was that mileage is not going to make that much difference in a 22-year old vehicle. Thank you Cliff. In the end, I went with option (A) just because it looked better maintained, and was able to agree to a price which would ...

Thanks, D. Well, money is tight so it's definitely a consideration but I'm trying to figure out if there's enough value in it. So you're saying (assuming airfare & trip back ads up to +-$1,500) that those 50,000 miles are worth $4,500. I honestly have no idea, would love to hear from more expert...

I need some advice as to what is a better option: Both 1995, assuming everything works and all else being equal, is it better to go for (A) the one with +-60K miles one, or (B) with +-110K miles for $3,000 less? (A) is a little better kept, prettier, and better condition inside, but does need couple...

I do like how it's all stealthy, metal gray. No stripes or decals. And I like that funky top front shape, before they went all straight and flat.

How would I go about checking the VIN #? From google search, I found several websites that you can insert a vehicle's VIN# and it gives you back some basic info, unless you pay for the full report. But what do I do with the b190's "1B9..." number?
Thanks.

Hi neighbor, thanks for your reply. I was actually gonna erase my original post, because it was written out of desperation and frustration over something, but oh well.. there it is. Yes, I'm still undecided on the whole bathroom layout, but the little tub is just kinda cute. Plan is to spend 6-12 mo...

I've already mapped out my return trip...
