Howdy :-). Any 1990 b190 owners able to verify if their generator has an inside or outside hour meter for their generator? Maybe neither? Thanks.

My 1991 had an hour meter mounted on the wall inside the camper, next to the start/stop switch. I believe it was optional, and I don't think the generator itself has one.

I have a 1990 and have yet to find an hour meter in the van or on the generator.

I have a 92 with no meter. I don't use the generator that much but do run it an hour a month under load to keep it healthy. If you're concerned with time on the gen just write useage times down, or maybe there's an app!

FYI, our 1998 has an hour meter inside adjacent to the on/off switch. I don't recall the manual indicating the hour meter was an option but who knows - maybe it is an option - or was an option on earlier year models.
