Re: Transmission Temp & Vacuum gauge install

A bit late but I wanted to post the success I had installing the transmission temp and vacuum gauges and transmission cooler. The guages went in with no troubles. The information in this thread made it possible for me to even attempt this: 495268B7-CCCF-4D54-8949-9C6A603B3883.jpeg The transmission c...

Bath Time!

So, I’m just finishing giving Grace, our B190, her bath - we are taking her to visit the California RV Show in Pomona tomorrow - and I just had to share this shot:

Bringing Back the B190?

Looks like the allure of an under 20 foot-long motor coach was too great for Airstream to resist. Presenting the “Airstream Interstate Ninteen”!

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

I’m sure you’ve heard the old adage “measure twice - cut once.” I’d remove your old refrigerator and measure the heck out of the opening. Pay extra attention to the depth and height. The walls of the b190 are curved and you want to be sure there is adequate space at the top/rear for the refrigerator...

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

Yes! We did and love it. It was easy to install and much quieter than we expected. The model we went with was the Vitrifrigo C130RBD4-F By far, the best upgrade we made! I think the refrigerator hole in my ‘99 is bigger that your ‘94 so I needed to trim less but you might want to measure the inside ...

Re: Tables....

There is a long narrow shelf with a flip down door - under the couch - that the table top slides into for storage. Here is a pic:

Overall it is very stable when placed on top of the doors and does not tip in the slightest.

Re: Air Conditioner Capacitor

Which AC unit did you end up getting? I got an 11,000 btu Dometic Penguin II. I wanted to keep it within the specs Airstream used with the original AC so it would still work with the 2800kw Onan generator. https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-Penguin-Low-Profile-Conditioner/dp/B00FNI3JPW I was able to re...

Re: Generator Removal for 1998 B-190

This is what it sounds like right now: https://youtu.be/eRGV7Jzm4IA Let me know if that sounds and looks normal to you. Yup. That sounds pretty good. I pulled the original Onan generator on my 99’ due to it failing and installed a 2012 Onan. That was the last model year that was compatible with the...
