Re: Any Photos of 1997+ upper bed

I modified my cabinets to increase the upper bunk size. It will sleep two easily. Feet or head at the glass front window. PM me your phone number, and I will text you some pictures. All of my mods involved removing parts of the existing cabinets. I also removed the plywood base over the cab. I built...

Re: Has anyone replaced the fridge with a compressor-type? Like Vitrifrigo? Or NovaKool?

Ok. I'm ready to replace my fridge with either a Vitrifrigo C130(130L), or Novacool 4500(122L). I am thinking I would use a 12V only model if available to save some money. Does anyone have experience with these models specifically and have any reasoning on selecting one over the other? I am thinking...

Re: Exhaust manifold bolts broken

If they are at the rear, I would think they could repaired from the cab access. Welding a nut onto the end of the broken bolt is an option, or drilling them out and tapping the holes. You would need a right angle drill most likely.

Re: Buying it back...

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 weeke...

Maximizing the Upper Bed in my 1998 B190

The upper bed in my 1998 B190 was really small. I did some research and determined that Airstream made a design change for late 98-99 models that increased the upper bed size significantly. I decided to try and incorporate those changes into my B190. The changes are pretty straightforward, but they ...

Sending Private Messages?

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
