Background: I'm a photographer who shoots at night, based on East Coast; I was invited to join gallery in Palm Springs, CA - so I bought this Airstream B190 in VA and then headed west to ensure that when I saw something during the day that I wanted to shoot at night, I could pull over, set up camp, and wait for the night. It was perfect. I always wanted to spend time on the road like this. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a home on wheels that's the right-size - in all ways. Please see my website at www.eileencounihan.com and you'll see some of the recent photographs from this trip.
Just after buying, I had mechanical work done, including:
New transmission
New brakes
New tires (H/T)
New seals/gaskets on fuel tank
Repacked wheel bearings
Passed rigorous Massachusetts Safety and Emission Inspection in September
Description: This Airstream B190 has been extremely well maintained and it is in excellent condition. There were only approx. 1,100 of these motorhomes ever manufactured. (I'm the 4th owner). I have all paperwork from mechanical work that I just had completed, and paperwork from prior owners.
Exterior and interior in great shape. Everything in the RV is functioning as it should - with no problems. The appliances, lights, and switches all work properly . The refrigerator is a gas/electric so you can run it while driving. Furnace and the A/C heat and cool the RV very quickly. It has a 3 burner stove/oven that is great for preparing meals. The captain chairs swivel and recline.
Layout
Overhead bed can sleep 2-3 people; approx. 8 to 10" clearance to ceiling if lying on side. There is also ample headroom for standing throughout the motorhome. Sofa also converts to bed for 1-2 people. Lots of storage space; cabinetry is original Oak in excellent shape. Also storage areas in back that can hold big luggage; also has clothes hanger. There is a stowable table that slides into the floor in front of the sofa and can swivel back and forth. The middle of the sofa also folds down into small table.
Vehicle Specs Highlights (I have original documents from Airstream, all appliances, etc - from dealership)
