Re: Deep cycle battery info

I was able to get a group 27 AGM into the tray on my 91 with just a slight modification of the tray with my Dremel. Tray on end closest to firewall was a 90 deg. near fender but cut in sharper on engine side, preventing the battery from fitting flush. I just cut the lip off that corner and it fits p...

My Table Solution

My rig came with a table that looked hardly used, probably because it is hard to use, at least in my opinion. I thought about creating a dinette where the couch is but like the couch and the extra sleeping arrangement. We seemed to eat many meals on the fold down middle section so I thought I would ...

And yes, I believe it was large enough.

Re: Accessing water pump

I went back to my Amazon orders and found that it is numbered 182-200. I mounted it on the inside of the curb side bath wall with decorative washers and stainless bolts so the new holes looked ok from the bath, and only connected one side of the air tank, sealing one. You don't have to put these in ...

Re: Accessing water pump

I have the original pump on my 91 and last summer removed the "bump in the closet" panels and squeezed in a ShurFlo air tank so it doesn't cycle on and off as much. I had one on the 61 Tradewind and felt it was worth the effort. But it turned out to be a tricky job getting the Pex tool in ...

Re: Another sway-bar post...

I picked my 91 up in Phoenix 3 years ago and drove back to the east coast thinking there must be something wrong with the steering. A number of "white knuckle" moments. Since then I've been following the advice on this forum, slowly replacing or adding suspension parts and taking long trip...

Re: Fuel Selector Switch....

Ok. It may be a while if I decide I can do it because it isn't undriveable and I'm on to sealing windows and repairing bed over cab.

Re: Fuel Selector Switch....

Congrats Alaskan for purchasing back your old rig. You confirm what I've always thought of we B190 lovers, we are all nuts! Anyhow, the fuel selector switch on my 91 is bad and will pump gas out the fill hole of the opposite tank selected unless I switch back and forth, just as you describe. Local F...

Re: Seasond traveler

Just returned from wonderful trip up the Gaspe peninsula, around the top and down to New Brunswick. Perfect trip for B190 even though some grades were as steep as 14%. On one of these uphills we blew the "O" ring in the tank transfer valve and started leaking gas. It stopped after the pres...

Re: Finding replacement parts and complete van rebuild?

Hey, Good luck with your project. I've rebuilt 2 vintage Airstream trailers and it's a bit different but I found some basic items on Vintage Trailer Supply for my B190. Fantastic fans, water heaters, pumps, , bathroom fan, electrical needs, are all about the same. May want to consider a stove top to...

Re: Excessive heat warning!!!

This may be a "closing the barn door after the cow got out" response but I've been able to reduce heat (and cold) by buying a roll of 1/4" foil backed insulation from Lowes and cutting out pieces to fit over all my windows and the fantastic vent. Curtains pretty much hold them in plac...
