Interesting. There were a bunch of companies making Class Bs in the late 80s through the mid-90s!

Good luck! Keep in mind those windows are different than what Airstream usually used - so a lot of the advice on here about them may not apply (different gaskets, etc.). Most of us have Hehr windows with black trim, not aluminum.

Thanks! Good luck with your sale.

Please add the VIN per the site rules.

Thanks.

You may have noticed the Old Gallery isn't working (the link was in the top right, but I'm removing it). I think a database upgrade finally killed it. Unfortunately the software hasn't been updated in over 10 years at this point, so the odds of getting it fixed are low. It relies on an outdated vers...

Boy am I having fun. Do we have any idea of where to get an estimate of the original MSRP on a 1989 B-190?

Check this thread. Also I think some people have posted their window sticker, but the old gallery doesn't seem to be working at the moment, so they might be hidden in there.

Any idea of what percentage of B190s have the microlite generator? Did it become a standard feature? Good questions. I'll have to look at flyers to see if it was always optional. It seems most of them do have it, but now and then we come across one that doesn't, and of course at this point some of ...

So I would like to revisit this thread. I did previously purchase a generator and carried it around on my car trailer to the races, which worked well. However, I've now sold the race car and we plan to flat tow a vehicle, without the trailer. I just purchased an Onan 2800 microlite and am wrestling...

Hey, I went to grad school in Athens!

Good luck with your sale.

Welcome to the site!

The answer to this is going to vary based on the water heater you have. The B190s came with a direct spark ignition model, so there's a switch inside the van that (in theory) when turned on, will let the water heater light. The other type of water heater uses a pilot. For those, you have to go outsi...

Looks great! Where are you located?

The state title will show it as a Ford, using the chassis VIN. I want to say one state had it listed as a Ford Airstream.

The Airstream VIN isn't the VIN used to register it.

The early Okanagan/Airstream B190s definitely do have that mix of Okanagan/Airstream build.

So this one is now on eBay, for a lot less money, with many of the same pictures that were used in that ad... Even the odometer. In a different location - the earlier ad was in North Carolina, this one is in Texas.

Potential scam!

I've failed to update this again. This picture shows one of the window frames glued and clamped in place. All three are done now. 20240614_131024.jpg Over the weekend I took apart the headbanger ("cornice" is the correct term, I'm told) above the couch. The other one was disassembled a lon...
