Re: My first Class B 190

Hey, thanks! Every time I take it out for a drive something pops up. Last time it was the driver side window motor. Before that it was the alternator and regulator. Luckily they were fairly easy fixes and I did them myself. I guess It's better that they happen now than on a road/camping trip. But ...

Re: My first Class B 190

And the floors. Ripped up the nasty carpet and replaced with some left over pieces of fake wood flooring, with trim. Also pulled what they call the nightstand that was screwed to the floor, with a warped piece of chipboard that supported part of the bed. Made it hard to get in and out through the ...

Re: My first Class B 190

Thanks! I'm really happy with how it turned out. Wasn't sure I'd be able to pull it off since it was my first time doing anything like that. But it was easier than I thought it would be, just took a little time.

Forgot to mention one tool that has come in very handy, an eraser wheel. Works great on ...

Re: My first Class B 190

So, finally was able to finish up the vent and saggy roof rot damage last week. Among some other minor things.

As you can see in the pictures there was quite a bit of mold and rot, in both the particle board bracing and hardboard. So had to pull it all and replace it. Was able to replace the ...

Re: Battery Isolator?

I think you might be (partially?)right, weekender. Was finally able to get back to work on the camper after being in the glass repair shop for two weeks and then on vacation for another week. Was trying to figure out why I'm not getting a reading on either fuel tank. So followed the wires (red and ...

Re: My first Class B 190

Thank you all for the warm welcome.

So finally picked up the camper the day before we had to leave for vacation. Was in the glass repair shop for the past two weeks. They were able to track down a 1/8 x 1/8 gasket. Unfortunately, they cracked one of the plexiglass windows while putting it in ...

My first Class B 190

Hello,

Been a member for a couple weeks now, and thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself while the camper is in the shop (getting the split window rubber replaced). Got the camper almost 4 weeks ago, and taking care of the major issues, so we can take her out on her first camping trip. She's a ...

Re: Question on weatherstrip/seal/gasket

Yeah, it's weird, whoever installed the one on mine put the seam on top as well.

Battery Isolator?

So, been wondering what the key switch on on the side (front left corner panel) of my B190 was for, since I bought it a couple weeks ago. While I was flushing the radiator I followed the wires from the key switch to a strange looking thingamajig . I'm new to the camper world so bare with me. I ...

Covered her back up since it's threatening to rain again, and forgot to take pictures. Had her out today for an vehicle inspection. I'll be sure to take pictures before I start working on them, but in the meantime I'll use images from the internets to ...

Re: Question on weatherstrip/seal/gasket

Hey Keystone,

Checked out the thread, really cool custom build, but wasn't able to find anything relating to my particular issue. Decided to hold off on glassing it over until I exhaust all options. Ideally I'd like to keep the windows. My step dad had an interesting idea, he suggested fabricating ...

Re: Question on weatherstrip/seal/gasket

Lol, that's awesome lido14co!

Thank you Alaskan. Unfortunately I couldn't get my hands on an Airstream B190. My Intervec B190 is really hard to find parts for since Intervec no longer exists. Although, a hand full of the people that worked at Intervec started up another company called Phoenix and ...

Re: Question on weatherstrip/seal/gasket

No worries, and thanks. I have a 91 Ford Falcon 190 TBF with the split window. I would have taken a picture but had to tape the hole up and cover it with a tarp since it might rain. I do plan on showing before and after pictures at some point though.

Re: Question on weatherstrip/seal/gasket

Thanks, Mike! Sounds like the last poster on that thread has the same window problem...with the "permanent" windows. Was thinking of using some sort of shim or filler to make up for the 1/8" gap, sounds like that butyl tap might work. I'll ask if he was successful. And if that doesn't work, on to ...

Re: Question on weatherstrip/seal/gasket

Haha, me too. Thought of the name when I was driving it back home. Mine's a Ford Falcon B190, made by Intervec.

Looking, but can't seem to pinpoint one with useful info yet. Seems that it's a common issue though...which leads me to believe that I might have to go with Plan B, just pulling the ...
