faux finish replaces deteriorated wallpaper of bathroom
With the aid of the heat gun removal of that blister and peeling wallpaper from the tub walls was acomblished. The contact adhesive came off but left the stain behind; such a pity because the wood underneath the wallpaper had a nice grain to it that a couple coats of polyurethane would be all it nee...

Re: Water Heater Door Replacement
The color code on our 95 B190 is YN. The color name is silver metalic. I looked up the color for the 1994 B190 and the color name and code appear to be the same. Here is a link if you want to look up the color code and name for your airstream. http://www.paintscratch.com/touch_up_paint/Ford/1994-For...

It is happier looking now and just passable for its age. hot water port door.jpg I should have used sand paper to prepare the surfac...

Re: Making fluorescent lights LEDs
It a is much like a grade school science project; off of Amazon or eBay one may obtain a 5 meters of LED lights on sticky tape, strip the guts out of ones existing fluorescent lights and replace them. We found the results very satisfying. What was your total cost/time invested to build? Gee, that i...

Re: Oven pilot works but no heat
I had the same problem with the Wedgewood oven in my 88 van. I did quite a bit of searching on the internet and most post were saying that the problem was the thermostat. The posts were saying that this is a know defect/problem with the older Wedgewood ovens. They suggested workarounds to fix the pr...

Re: 1990 Airstream 190 -Fort Collins Co 4K
they go so fast that the listing is down by the time one reads your post. Just putting up a "screen shot" so folks will know what you have posted about. Odd, it doesn't say it is running, only that is was running at one time.

Re: Starting my search!
Welcome Lucy. It's frightening buying house on wheels, especially an antique one which airstream B190 are now. Being at the mercy of any mechanic who tells you the juju fell out of your beanstalk is a shaky feeling. If I tell you to check double check and triple check you'll still miss something. So...

Anyone going to the RTR, Rubber Tramp Rendezvous, January 11-21, 2018 in Quartzsite, AZ? It might be nice to see a breakout group of b190s.

Looks to be in good shape and fairly low miles 61...
