Looks like a great trip, and perfect timing for the fall colors. Congrats on the anti-sway upgrade, and on the successful shake-down cruise that proves your B190 is even better than stock.

Thanks, Eric--great info on the fluorescent-to-LED conversion from Thin-Lite.

Hi all, here's another B-190 transmission replacement story. I think I've known since shortly after buying our B-van in 2009 (at just 37K miles) that the original transmission was living on borrowed time. I've posted about ATF fluid spills upon overheating, adding a cooler, and also experienced some...

Wow, that solar system looks great! Thanks for posting. I really like your adjustable, tilting mounting system for the PV panel. And, it sounds like you have energy management under control with your monitor. Like you, I found that swapping out the original incandescent lamps for LEDs made a huge di...

I decided to replace my entire furnace rather than try to rehab the blower motor. It was about $500, plus another $50 for the right vent kit (the kit included in the furnace was too short). Kentuckian's tutorial was really helpful in working through the steps of pulling out the old one. Finally fini...

Nice upgrades on both projects. I look forward to seeing your photo of the solar system, too. Curious--where did you put the charge controller?

Just to add to the discussion--I installed the PD4635V in my 1994 B190, a "35A replacement/Upgrade converter section with Charge Wizard" back in 2012 (purchased 9/11 from Best RV and Truck Supply for about $200). I think it was a new model at the time--and mine was "fresh", with ...

The cleanwaste bags definitely fit--perfectly. I have used them for the past three years for winter trips in my 1994 b190.

Add my name to the list of grateful "Fuse T replacers". That 60-A fuse blew recently, resulting in no alternator charging of the coach battery for about 600 miles. Was completely dead-on-arrival at campsite since we'd been (or thought we were) running fridge on 12-V. Sigh...Once again, I'v...

Finally installed my new ac power connector today--the adhesive is curing as I write this. Huge thanks to Alaskan Dave for the nifty adaptor plate with stainless fasteners and to Wakeslayer Mike for the detailed instructions with photos. Now, at last, we can access shore and campground power without...

Bug deflector---Brilliant!!! ;-) Seriously, I'm interested in the results of your effort with the 3m wheel. I had some decals removed from my Tacoma when it was brand new ("Toyota Racing Development" slathered on both rear quarter panels didn't suit me...), and I think they used the same k...

I have an approach with the cracked, hazy stripes on my '94 that I'm happy with, but it may not be "pro" enough for you. First, I tried a few products that did NOT work (for example: wax did nothing, and a heavy oxidizer remover that took off a ton of the stripe color) and did not last lon...

Wow! Awesome tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to describe the procedure in such detail. Knowing that this worked for your furnace, I'll give it a try.

Hi Kentuckian,
Would you kindly post a photo of the furnace lubrication locations that solved the screech? And maybe a little tutorial about how to get at them? I finally pulled off the furnace supply vent cover, but it was not obvious to me what to do next.

Thanks,
Keystone

Sorry to hear that! After a second ATF spill in another pristine, remote location, I had my mechanic install an aftermarket transmission cooler. $200. That seems to have cured the problem.
