New to site, but Family Tradition
Greetings from NorthWest Indiana. Inherited B-Van from Mom and Dad several years ago and tried real hard to sell it but now very glad we didn't. Perfect set up for couple and a Boston Terrier (another family tradition). Have picked up many tips lurking, so figured I'd better join up to contribute a tid bit here or there. BTW, also have four Airstream trailers, for one reason or another. I guess that's yet another inherited trait.

Welcome, I'd say you have some rare Airstream addiction or some thing. Always nice to have another B owner to bounce idea's off of.

How nice that you inherited your B190 and now an appreciation for this legacy is growing. There is a wealth of information and support on this site and it has kept me reading posts on a daily and weekly basis. It has really helped with fixing up my B190 and the plans for travel are growing and growing each day. Welcome to the B190 Enthusiasts!

Re: New to site, but Family Tradition
Welcome Chichengrease! I'm sorts of new here myself, pretty much in the same boat you are being a new here except I'd never heard of an Airstream van til we found "our". oh yeah, we found one, a real one, but that's another post.
Anyhow, we found a wealth of knowledge here in the archives and hope to be adding our own 2 cent to them. Hard to believe there are only about 1400 of these vans made over a 10 year span, just wondering how many are still on the road.

Re: New to site, but Family Tradition
Hello and welcome!
My wife and I are going to B in NWI this Summer. A two month long trip to Lowell -near Crown Point and Cedar Lake. Maybe we’ll see you then!
This is our first Airstream. We hope to get another soon
