1997 B190 For Sale Atlanta Georgia

Post by vanbytheriver »

It is with a very sad heart that I am listing my beloved Airstream B190. The following is some information on the van. It was bought off this forum in 2016 and am hoping to sell it to someone that will love it as much as I have. The only reason I am selling is that, we have just out grown it, with a 6'2" 19 year old and 2 other adults its become a bit tight. Additionally, I am planning to take my elderly mother and father on a trip out west next summer to Yellowstone and the Black Hills next summer and need a larger motorhome. Van is located in North Georgia, 60-miles north of Atlanta.

Price: $19,000 (negotiable within reason)

1997 Airstream B-190 Ford V10
Mileage: approximately 104,000 (odometer stopped working November 3, 2016. However, I have kept very detailed records of all the miles driven since then and can provide them at time of sale)
Vin number:1FDJS34S5VHA89340
Oil changed every 5,000 miles with Mobile 1 full synthetic. Previous owner used Amsoil.

Van was purchased in September 2016 from Houston Texas and has been kept under cover ever since.
It is in excellent condition. You will not find a better driving B190 out there. It is the first year of the shorter overhang, V10 motor, and one piece fiberglass shower/bathroom. The layout is as follows kitchen on left with counter space, 2 basin sink, 3-burner stove w/oven, TV with built in DVD above stove. Rear is one piece shower, with built in sink and toilet (new toilet 2016). Loads of storage in kitchen, above sofa and rear closet. On right is Jack-knife sofa, 3-way refrigerator new 2016, microwave, over microwave storage. Everything works as it should.

I installed front an rear heavy duty sway bars, new Shocks installed 2016, larger Aluminum Rims 2016, Michelin Tires. Tires have 30,000 miles and them and need to be replaced mostly due to age. New tires will be installed before the sale or can be negotiated from my asking price.
2-AGM Sealed batteries wired in series for House batteries new 2018.

All windows have been resealed. A new windshield was installed March 2019. The upper window was cracked, because we hit an owl in the fall or 2019, it also was replaced and resealed March 2019.

Small rust area on rear gutter corners was repaired and repainted to blend with paint in March 2019

Front end totally rebuilt March 2019.

New brakes March 2019

Helper Springs were installed on rear axle March 2019. This was done to eliminate sagging rear end. Additionally, water tank had to be reinstalled. It had been damaged by a large speed bump and had to be removed. The helper springs help lift the rear to prevent this from happening again. The metal insulated tank was damaged beyond repair and removed. The plumbing was repaired for both the water and tank and black tank.

Has a built in 2800 Onan generator that was removed, oil changed, fuel lines changed and tuned March 2019. New carburetor was installed when I purchased it in 2016. It runs as it should. However, it is sometimes difficult to get running if it hasn't run in a while. Carburetors on these tend to clog easy and require monthly running to keep clear. If you know anything about these generators you will already understand what I am talking about. It will run the whole van and AC no problem.

Interior upholstery is original and in good condition. It definitely could use an update, Jack-knife sofa is comfortable to sit on however, it could stand to re-upholstered. I use a 3 inch memory foam mattress to sleep on. I constructed an extension for the sofa that can be removed that makes the bed wider. I have 2-memory foam mattresses one for use with the extension and one to use without. Bed is about 50-inches wide without extension and 56-inches wide with extension. With extension, bed comfortably sleeps 2 people. Upper bed can sleep up to a 2-5'10" people cross ways or one taller person diagonal. The carpet is original and in excellent condition, it has been covered by waterproof matts since I have owner it. I will leave these in place or remove them.

We have travelled extensively in this van. We have been to the Florida Keys, Black Hills South Dakota, Colorado, Utah, Texas, outer-banks of North Carolina, Blue Ridge Mountains. We average about 10,000 per year since we bought it. It is a very powerful engine that has no issues with any grade cross wolf creek Pass 2-summers ago pulling a CJ-7 and you barely knew its back there. It gets 11-12 miles per gallon without Jeep and 9-10 with. This van is road ready and I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. Please PM if you are interested. I would like to sell it to another enthusiast that will continue to take care of this van. We have loved it and hate to see it go. I have some photos in my gallery and will add additional photographs as soon as I get by the storage Facility. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Thank you,

The van has sold. It will be headed to U-Joint Offroad, in Fletcher North Carolina, to get turned into a beast of an offroad expedition vehicle next Friday. Then returning to its original home state of Texas. Hope EricaS enjoys it as much as we have. Excited to see how this turns out.
