Re: Early B190s

The document is nothing more than another avenue to search. Nothing to trust, or distrust. The 'search' has to start, and go, somewhere. Plenty of dead ends out there but worth the travel to me. The document was enough for you to mention Airstream Heritage Center which gave me another rabbit hole to ...

Re: Early B190s

Thank you. I messaged the Airstream Heritage Center which I believe is the 'museum' you reference. I'll share if I learn anything.

Re: Early B190s

I understand I am in a minority as most have later model units. However, I find the history interesting. This document supports my belief that 1. The B190 actually started in late 1988 and 2. The units built in the Canadian Plant were not given the sequential serial numbers.

And yes, I do have an ...

Early B190s

I've tried searching but do not specifically see what I am looking for. While the build data and history seems fairly complete regarding the units built in Jackson Center, Ohio. My questions refer to the very first built by Okanogan. From what I have found, it does not appear these early units were ...

Airstream SN Tag and Build Sheet

I've been going through the database, trying to find the oldest B190 (1989) registered in order to compare it to mine. In looking at the Airstream Serial Number Tag, it looks like the very top was cut off from a tag they used for something else? Is this tag available for restoration? Is there anyone ...

Re: Towing a vehicle...

Went a different route. Towing an '87 Suzuki and it pulls very well. Drug it over the North Cascades Mountain Pass a couple times without issue, with my 351. Presently doing some body work and plan on matching stripes.

Pop out window gaskets

Happy Holidays.

I have an '89, older than most, but it works well for us....for now. I just purchased a set of pop out windows (side and rear) and need to figure out what I need for gaskets. Can't seem to find a part number and don't have a sample to go from. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Window Weep Hole (drain vent) covers

And we have an update. Just a follow up to my post regarding weep hole covers. I did reach out to Ryan Swinney (Facebook) and his response was as amazing as his talent. He created replacements which I am very excited about. I still have a little scrubbing to complete...

Extra Storage

Just thought I'd share this as we never have enough storage. I went to the local home improvement store and bought some aluminum flat bar to bend and attach to my ladder. Then I went online to Covers & All and had some custom storage bags made. Very inexpensive but very nice. I can now store two ...

Close but no cigar...but interesting...

Ran across this today. It has some interesting adaptations, almost ahead of its time. Maybe this is where the Revel was born from, with the little kick-outs. Its called an Odessey.

Re: Window Weep Hole (drain vent) covers

I've got someone who is going to try to 3D print them. Says it may take a couple prototypes, but is willing to try. I'll update with any progress.

Re: Window Weep Hole (drain vent) covers

They look to have been discontinued some time ago. Now I'm looking for some type of replacement....How dare they!

Window Weep Hole (drain vent) covers

Re caulking the windows and am looking for replacement window vent covers. Guessing they were once white plastic. Approximately 1/2" x 2". Any direction is appreciated.
