Re: 1990 B190

I may have spotted a difference I've never noticed before. On my '91, the sewer connection is facing out the back. In this ad, it's right behind the left rear tire. I wonder if that’s due to having a single tank for waste water. I know Airstream combined the grey and black water holding tanks into ...

Upgrading Headlights & Adding Fog Lights

Thanks to another forum member (TJ) I was inspired to upgrade the stock headlights to LED HID Projector assemblies and 2 - LED fog lights from Vantage Optics & Diode Dynamics. The headlights are made to fit the Ford E series vans so they look amazing when installed, and the fog lights were place...

Installing Pop-Out Windows.

I’m finally getting around to refurbishing the rear doors. The seal on the rear, drivers side window had failed and was leaking - big time! Since the window needed to come out to have the seal replaced, I did a bit of hunting to see if I could replace them with the ever elusive pop-out kind. Thanks ...

Re: converter

Yes, the 35 and the 60 were the only ones to fit in the current opening. The 45 is too tall.

Re: converter

Isn’t there a danger in running more power through wire harnesses that are rated for far less? Not sure Airstream installed wire harnesses that could power more appliances simultaneously.

Re: Whats it worth?

Strong motor, very little surface rust, quality wood inside, low price, great layout, and oh, yeah - Fiberglass roof! Try getting your money back fixing up one of these rubber roofed jobs with leaks, mold, nothing but veneers and cheap hardware in 3-4 years, never mind 30 years! What's not to love?...
