The Range Hood vent (outside) is made by Jensen for Airstream and can only be purchased from Airstream....they are poorly made and crack very easily, I've made new ones out of aluminum. Seems like at the old site someone posted a phone number for Airstream Parts direct because they had good luck the...

RJ..... keep in mind that mis-matched rear tires is not a good thing. The possible difference in diameter of say a brand new tire and maybe a tire with significant mileage on the other makes the axles rotate and slightly different rates.....that can be very harmful or fatal to the gear assembly.

Tables....

Through the span of 10 years that Airstream built the B190 vans we've seen 3 attempts at tables... 1990 thru 1996 had a table with a center post that plugged into the floor and the table had a slider so you could move it toward the couch to walk by it... ( pictures to follow ) 1997 & 1998 had th...

The first generation of clones didn't have Ford embossed in the center-piece These newer clones at eBay from Nation Wide Hubcaps look to be a big improvement and with metal clips also.... OEM Ford, 1995 & 1996 have the stainless trim rihgs around the perimeter of the hubcap and also the stainles...

yep....the lug nut pattern on the hubcaps is just for looks and they fit right on the 8 lug wheels... The new style hubcaps, to me, are a huge improvement http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/alaskan/SSCN7369.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v300/alaskan/SSCN7373.jpg http://img.photobucket.co...
