Re: House Battery turffle shuffle

If you are referring to my pics, those were showing the loose wires. The "house" battery is non existent in my passenger side compartment where it should be. The picture you show is the battery on the driver's side of the engine compartment. In my 1993 Airstream 190 (and, I believe in 1992...

Re: Spotted another B190 on the George Washington Bridge Tod

If it was in May of this year it might have been me, leaving NJ for FL after buying my 190 from a family up in Fairlawn.

Stripe removal and prep for gel coat refurb

Here is the progress I have made in removing my lower stripes and a test patch of the upper stripe. Once they are off and the top has been refurbished and the body gone over with a good clay bar and buffing I will decide whether or not to try and have a graphic/wrap shop recreate the original airstr...

Re: Need help buying a very ODD B190!!!!

I am in the process of getting my B ready for a gel coat refurbish, was wondering if there was a rubber bumper wrapped around the upper and lower half of your clam shell top, if so did you have to do anything to it to get it to look so finished? I am using the 3m eraser wheel to get rid of the strip...

Re: House Battery turffle shuffle

It's a 94, I measured the space and it seems a bit to narrow 6 1/2"(front of engine to back)for a normal size group 24, it is also fairly long 12+"

Re: House Battery turffle shuffle

Here is what I found when trying to figure out why my house battery system is finicky at best. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/15/be4eaacc2e91578426a93a899f8fdb08.jpg Hmmmmm, that doesn't look right let me "jiggle" it!!!! http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/15/7b859daa1b8d6e705...

Re: Winterizing your B190

Winterized the Hippo last night and learned that I should have taken the time to install a complete bypass system not just the fresh water tank. Well live and learn and as my buddy said, don't worry the smell of the antifreeze will be gone by the time you are ready to winterize next year [emoji53] h...

Re: Engine sputters under load and more- Victim of the ECM?

Sorry to hear that the ECM was not a quick fix. On a side note, SOLO is on my Happy list because it did fix my problem. Mine was not s sputter, more of a jerk or hesitation, maybe its a fuel sender issue? At any rate I wish you luck in a speedy and cost effective fix!

Re: Engine sputters under load and more- Victim of the ECM?

Just for reference, I did not throw any codes but my ECM was the culprit. The expansion board inside the ECM is the issue they swell and then there is a loss of connectivity, or so I was told, not sure as I did not open the ECM only took it out and sent it. (FWIW, I did a full tune up hoping the sam...

Maybe next time we can get a weekend secured and find a camp spot/ground and do a multi day event for those that are traveling a distance.

Re: Gel coat reconditioning in Denver or the Western Slope??

X-2 for wanting to see pics, it would be awesome. I am not super excited about paying what they are asking to do a gel coat refurbish when it seems that the gel coat is really not in need of repair but just a good long lasting buff job which never seem to last.

Re: Engine sputters under load and more- Victim of the ECM?

ECM update is easy, fast, and relatively cheap. Like Keystone said, if it does not work then you can start knocking off the myriad of other items. I was really pleased with the results and the service. http://www.solopcms.com/
