Overnight Stop - Airstream 2001 Bamby Owner's Manual

AIRSTREAM SAFARI –BAMBI TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL 2001

OVERNIGHT STOP

Airstream owners have parked virtually every placing imaginable from filling stations to farmlands. In time you'll
develop a knack for spying wonderful little roadside locations my turning off the main highway in exploring.
There are many modern parks including State, County and Federal parks with good facilities were you might obtain
hookups of electrical, water and sewer connections. Directories are published which described in detail these parks
and tell what is available in the way of services and hookups.
On overnight or weekend trips chances are you will not use up the capacity of the sewage holding tank, deplete the
water supply or rundown the battery which supplies the 12 volt current.
On a longer trip, when you have stayed where sewer connections and utility hookups were not available, it will be
necessary for you to stop from time to time to dispose of the waste in the holding tank and replenish the water
supply. Many gas stations (chain and individually owned) have installed sanitary dumping stations for just this
purpose. Booklets are available which lists these dumping stations.
When stopping for the night you Airstream is built to be safely parked in any spot that is relatively level and where
the ground his firm. Your facilities are with you. You are self-contained. Unless the tow vehicle is needed for
transportation, it is not necessary to unhitch.
WARNING: Do not parked in a manner that would prevent the escape windows from opening.
Try to pick as level a parking spot as possible. Stabilizing jacks or blocks probably won't be required run overnight
stay. However, if you put the jack pad on the hitch jack and run the hitch jack down to take the weight off the cars
springs this will provide some stability. If you must parked on a slope, PARK FACING DOWNHILL. It is easier
to level the trailer this way.
All you need to do to enjoy the self-contained luxury of your Airstream is to turn on the LP gas and light any
appliances with pilots.
Before moving on, check your campsite both for cleanliness and also to be sure you haven't left anything behind.
Turn off the gas supply and make sure everything is properly stowed. Use your PRE-TRAVEL CHECK LIST and
you are ready for more travel adventure.
