Hi everyone,
I have been lurking on this forum for some time and keeping my eye out for a B190 in good enough condition, for sale at a reasonable price. I ended up finding the mother of all B190s, A 1985 Okanagan with a number of upgrades, downgrades, and well.. Sideways-grades? If that’s a word.. lol. Anyhow, the Okanagan runs great, gets terrible Mpg with an old 351W. Seems leak proof and keeps warm enough to handle the Pacific Northwest.
My list of maintenance items, upgrades and fixes is growing by the day, but I’ll save those for more specific threads in the forums.
I’ve read a few threads here in the forums about how Airstream spun the B190 off of the Okanagan, and would love to know anything you historians can tell me about my Okanagan and it’s origins.
Thanks skater for registering my account. I love that there is still community support for these adorable old beasts.. Glad to be here.
