Re: Buying it back...

Well the old tarp wore out and was leaking, and I don't want to talk about how much water I vacuumed out of it yesterday. I did get a new waterproof tarp on it. Don't cheap out on your tarps, people! Today I removed the old phone jack and coax connection and installed a new ethernet jack and coax co...

Re: B190 database

Hey @skater, I feel like I've seen this somewhere on this forum, but what's the latest airstream VIN number you have in your database? Mine is 1378 and I'm just a little curious roughly how many were made after mine. We know the sequence numbers go up to 1,393, because a B190 owner who sells Airstr...

Re: Buying it back...

I haven't had a lot of time to work on it lately, as we were out of town for almost a month at the Airstream Club International Rally in Rock Springs, WY. However, since we got home a few weeks ago, I've put in a few hours. First, I refurbed the last window. I don't know what I was thinking about on...

1994...1998...I'm not sure - Grand Junction, CO, $15k

1998 Ford E350 Airstream B190 - $15,000 (Grand Junction) I'm not sure what to make of this. The VIN and Ford info plate in the one picture shows pretty clearly it's a 1994. But the title and the ad both say 1998, and I see a V10 emblem on one corner. The interior has the earlier separate toilet and...

Yeah, normally you wouldn't want to turn that off. I wonder why someone did, maybe they accidentally set it off too many times.

My guess would be a fan for the back of the fridge. That's just a guess though. I don't think it's original.

Re: Refrigerator lighting up but not cooling

On the fridges if your fridge is on the right and the front of the B is over 20*+ tilt, the fridge will not work correctly. Same with it on the left but it would be the rear down. You need to get the vehicle level and let the fridge sit off for 8 hours to allow the liquid to settle back where it be...

Re: Airstream B190 brochures and manuals

I'm working on a basic operations manual for driving, parking, and camping, so I can lend her out with an easier mind and confidence that people will know how to treat her right. :-). I will share with the group once the 1st draft is finished, and ask for advice on editing. First question that I do...
