Finally got the tank bolts replaced, so I put 5 gallons of gasoline in it and tried to fire it up...no good. Unfortunately I split the 5 gallons between the two tanks, and it's parked on a pretty severe slope, so I was wondering if it was a fuel starvation problem. I got 5 more gallons and put that ...

Please add me to the database. 1998 B190 Airstream VIN 1B9KGVA25WJ301293 Ford VIN 1FDSS34S0WHA02062 Is the database searchable or posted as public somewhere? Thanks, Tom Added! It's not online yet - it's the goal, but I haven't made it there yet. Too many projects! If you're wondering, though, this...

I just bought this camera setup for my B190. Use code SAFER25 to save $25. I chose this one after doing lots of research. I wanted one that was on all the time and took the place of the rearview mirror. You want the "standard" mount for a Ford. Camera Link A bunch of things from this weekend: Fuel ...

I got the new board for the furnace (fast shipping by PPL Motorhomes) and just installed it...works perfectly! The furnace didn’t smell great as it burned off almost 10 years of dust, but that’s to be expected. Pretty much lit immediately, too.

Why do private messages I try to send end up sitting in my Outbox? Sometimes the messages go through and end up as "sent". Sometimes they just sit in the Outbox. I would like to be able to communicate with other forum members. Thanks, Tom They stay in the outbox until the recipient receives them, t...

I feel like I should know who owns that one, but I can't place it.

I don't know exactly? I guess a 12-volt only would have worked fine. I don;t know if the NovaKool 4500 comes in 12-volt only? After months of use, I can tell you it works REALLY well on either power source. I've accidentally exploded a few sodas and beers... I notice no difference in temperature or...

Is there an advantage to the 120 volt mode over the 12 volt mode?

I'd be tempted to get the 12 volt only model...when I'm plugged in or running the generator, the power for it would come from the converter. Or the engine would be charging the 12 volt system.

A bunch of things from this weekend: Fuel tanks: I got new T-bolts from Summit Racing and modified them to fit (cut the "T" to be shorter). I then put a coupler on the end with some threadlocker, then cut some threaded rod to go in the other end to serve as the "bolt". More threadlocker, plus a nut,...

If necessary, but would ideally just replace the shutoff valve.

I haven't looked closely, but are you sure you need to remove the tank to do that?

Thank you for the step by step procedure. My shutoff valve didn't close completely, so draining the tank first was necessary. It was quite helpful to learn that using a jack helps handle the tank, but isn't required to lift the camper. On with the removal! I'd be extra careful in that situation, be...

Thanks, Skater. I’ve needed this fix for one of my burners since I bought my van 10 years ago. What a helpful write up! Looking forward to completing this repair during my “spring van project season”. Go for it. The writeup probably makes it look like it'll take longer than it actually does. Hardes...

I got this PM from a user, and I thought I'd answer here so the info was available publicly. The '91 came out of winter storage today, and I'd like to follow in your footsteps and either repair the propane valve or replace the tank. The propane must be drained yet, and physical limitations have kept...

It's cold and wet out this morning, so I took a few minutes to work on the stove and fix the stiff knobs. Writeup here. Hopefully that helps someone else.

When we got our B190 back, the knobs on the stove were very stiff, and two didn't want to turn at all. Today I pulled it apart to figure out how to fix that issue...it turns out to be extremely easy, unfortunately, I learned that after breaking one already. And I haven't yet found a replacement for ...
