AIRSTREAM SAFARI –BAMBI TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL 2001

EXTENDED STAY

Making a long trip in your Airstream is not very different from making a weekend excursion. Since everything you
need is right at hand, you are at home wherever you go. When packing for an extended trip takes everything you
need, but only what you need.
When you plan to stay in the same place for several days, weeks or months, you will want your trailer to be as level
and steady as possible. Check the attitude with a small spirit level set on the inside work counter or the trailer hitch
"A-Frame". (See Diagram Below) If a correction is necessary then YOU MUST LEVEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE
FIRST This can he done easily by backing the trailer up one or more 2" x 6" boards. (See Diagram) We do not
recommend placing tires in a hole for leveling.
LEVEL FROM FRONT TO REAR by disconnecting the hitch from the tow vehicle, putting the jack pad under the
hitch jack and adjusting the jack up or down until you are level. Block or chock the wheels to keep the trailer from
rolling. Use STABILIZING JACKS at all four corners as shown in the diagram to eliminate the natural spring action
of the axles. Optional STABILIZING JACKS, whether manual or power, should only he used to stabilize trailer.
WARNING: Whenever the trailer must be lifted with a jack, as when changing a tire or leveling on very
rough terrain, ALWAYS PLACE THE LIFTING JACK UNDER THE MAIN FRAME RAIL. A label is
provided to indicate the proper position for the jack. NEVER USE STABILIZING JACKS TO LIFT THE
TRAILER.
