Re: swivel passenger seat

If it is a flex steel seat the swivel lever is on the arm rest with <--> arrows on the lever. Pull up on this, sometimes hard, and it should swivel for you. Moving the seat forward or back is to clear obstacles if your seat hits something.

Re: DISC BRAKES!?!

My '91 with a 460 engine has rear drum brakes. They did not swap out on you. The mountains can put a lot of strain on brakes, more than you might realize. Your unit is 9000#+. Drive a couple miles on fairly level road and see if your brakes get hot if they do your brake system may be keeping pressur...

Re: best way to get out of overhead bed

Since you had no problem getting into the bed the best way to get out is to install a bannister rail from bed ending between the refrigerator and stove. Slide down the rail and Plop onto the toilet as this is your first destination when getting out of bed.

Re: DAMMIT... I found a leak... and now have some moldy carp

The mold can be killed with vinegar or bleach solution. Vinegar will not bleach out color. Be thorough and get it all. The window is bolted through the wall of the unit. Remove it and clean thoroughly and put putty tape around the outside frame and bolt the window back in place and cut off any exces...

Re: Adding fans to upper outside refrigerator side vent

In hot weather when the refrig has a problem keeping things cool enough one way to help it is to fill 1 qt ziplock bags with crushed ice and put them in empty spaces in the refrigerator. It will insure that the temperature stay cold. A plus is you have ice for drinks.URS.

Re: Newbie to B190!

Hi
Welcome to the site. I don't use stabilizer jacks. The unit is pretty stable. Have some 2x6 plank blocks to level the unit if necessary.
If your friend is successful with the stuttering cure please post as this seems to be a prevalent problem with our B190s.URS

Re: Cracked OEM rim on recent trip - Anyone had one?

The wheel that I dented was on my E320 Mercedes. I hit a deep pot hole and it dented the rim badly. The rim was alloy rim. New ones cost about $400. There is a repair guy that regularly calls on tire stores and dealers in the area. I had the tire store have him repair my rim. Cost $125. After about ...

Re: Cracked OEM rim on recent trip - Anyone had one?

Beware of repaired rims. I had bad experience with repaired rims. They don't always hold up. I spent $125 to have one repaired and had to replace it within 3 weeks.

Re: Sway Bar Installation.....

Air pressure in the tires of the B190 is indeed 80psi for the rear tires but only 51psi for the front. And if the pressure is off it makes for one squirrel y vehicle.
