Newbie in Seattle
I've been lurking around here for a couple of years while I've been looking for a B190. Seems like I'm always the second person to call. Then it sells to the first person to come look at it. This weekend I was actually the first person to call on a van for once. It wasn't an Airstream or an Okanagan,
but it was close enough. I Couldn't pass it up. So at least I have a van to work on now. Its a Country Villa. I have never seen another one, but I'm excited to have a van to work on now!

Nice, that looks great. I like the solid door for the bathroom - the B190s have a semi-solid folding curtain. The ladder storage is interesting, too!
I love how similar all of them are - yours has a dinette instead of a couch but otherwise the layouts are nearly identical. I guess there are only so many ways you can cram all of the things into a 19' van.

Thanks. I like dinette. The only downside is you lose the generator compartment. I guess it was mounted behind the axle? Looks like there is room for it there. It just doesn't seem very convenient if that's where it went.

For those, I have no idea. It's possible they didn't have them at all, too.Roofingman wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 12:11 amThanks. I like dinette. The only downside is you lose the generator compartment.
