Replace vacuum lines
Has anyone replaced the vacuum lines around the engine?!? Specifically the small colored (pink, green, red) PVC plastic hoses?!? What did you use?!? I'm gearing up to replace all the vacuum lines - just as a point of maintenance - and I'm stumped on how to replace these. Leaning towards getting some...

Re: What did you name your camper?
Mine was sorta named for me. The first picture I sent my buddy, he said "it looks like a Triceratops" - and it is dubbed "The Tritops"

Re: The gray running boards
My running boards were in pretty bad shape as well. Lots of spider cracks and greyed to the point of almost white.
I took them off, sanded them down, used some bondo to fill in the spider cracks, and hit them with the Rustoleum Bumper and Trim paint. Looks great!

Re: Seal around the perimeter of the top
That does look a little different...
I will say, on my '90, that was just a blue vinyl stripe. The top is all one piece of fiberglass.

Not sure what you mean - could you give a little more detail what you're trying to fix?

Re: Gasoline smell
One other point - I had a strong gas smell a year ago as well. It turned out to be a broken hose on the emissions evaporator canister. On my '90, it's under the passenger door. A hose runs from the gas tank emission valves (on top) to these two canisters. For me, the hose from the first canister to ...

02 sensor location
I've got a '90 B190 with the 460 engine - does anyone know if there is more than one o2 sensor?!?
I replaced one that is just before the catalytic converter. I've seen references online to one or two more, but can't find anything.

Re: New Owners--need some help
Can you post some pictures of the existing configuration? It would be much easier to offer suggestions knowing what you're working with. It may be easy enough to make the dinette convertible to a bed, and use the overhead bed as storage for whatever you end up building. Just my initial thoughts...

"Missed connection in Orlando"
Two friends have told me another B190 is in the Orlando area. I was just coming home from work in my B and saw a B at the intersection of University and Goldenrod. I waved, you honked... it was awesome... you on here?!?! Would love to see another B in person!!!

Re: TV Antenna suggestion
Another alternative is building a "fractal antenna" - lots of DIY sites explain it. I made one out of tin foil - works better than any store bought HD antenna I've tried!

Re: Tips for spark plug removal?!?
Update:
Complete Success!
And thanks all for the suggestions. The wheel well access was crucial for plug #2.
The most difficult was #5 - front driver's side. As Skater said, just had to jam my hand down there and do it. The skin will grow back...
And she's running great!
