couldn't find one. ended up ordering cheap plastic replacement style off Amazon.

I believe I am the original post -- one of my first modifications, have never regretted it! My only change from the original, was that I ended up converting to 2 catches-- the catch was not quite strong enough to prevent the occasional shift of stuff in the cabinet (mostly folding chairs for ...

Zuntic is a person who made several YouTube videos about his B190 tear out. This might be that same van as shown in his videos at:

Awesome! Good luck with your trip! I also purchased mine long distance after flying in and then drove it cross-country to get home!

Things I would check (or have the seller demonstrate) before purchasing:
Schedule an RV mechanic to give it an inspection . Failing this, at least have a mechanic ...

Wheels or hubcaps?

(And still available?)

Looking for a set of hubcaps (or at least 1 to replace my single missing hubcap.

Anyone got just one for sale? Will buy a partial set if you don’t have all 4!!

Nice work! I am especially jealous of your back up camera!


follow-up to an old thread... we had the stereo shop put in a new stereo, front speakers, a viper alarm with remote locking, and a backup camera, the display for which is a rear-view mirror that fits over our OEM rear-view mirror. The ...

I tried the Supco SPP7E SoftStart capacitor... that's been discussed at: https://www.b190.com/viewtopic.php?p=13432#p13432

I bought it new from Amazon in December 2019 for about $40. It operated just fine.. but didn't quite give me a "soft enough" start and would sometimes still trip circuits if I ...

Good luck!! I found mine by posting a WTB ad in these forums! Hope you have as much luck as I did!

your research is exactly why I bought the Airstream version. I found an old Ford Falcon (same layout, much poorer build quality) and it led me to researching the exact issues you point to.

Airstream did a solid build on these. They are made with real wood, not papermache and pressboard. They have ...

Any tips on how to stay cool while boondocking? Where both heat and bugs are an issue?


I picked up some cheap Walmart sliding door bugscreens, the kind with magnets to auto-close it again after you walk through? Then got some magnets to stick around the outside edge of the doorframe for the ...

I'm sort of at a loss for what to do next. Any thoughts?


The easiest fix that I did, and it solved it instantly, was to install a MaxxAir fan which has reversible airflow. So, I open a window inside (usually the window behind the couch) and set the roofmount fan to suck air in as opposed to ...

I tend to trip 15amp circuits, unless it is a VERY short wiring run.

This is usually solved by connecting with a 20amp circuit (typically identified by a slightly different looking outlet)
