O\"ER)JIGHT STOP
,\irstream owners have parked virtually every place imaginable from filling
stations to farm lands.
In time you will develop a knack for spotting
wonderful little roadside locations by turning off the main highway and
exploring.
There are many modern trailer parks including State, County and Federal
parks with good facilities where you may obtain hookups of electrical, water
and sewer connections.
Directories are published which describe 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 run down the
battery which supplies the 12 volt current.
It's always a good idea to fill
your water tank with "home water".
There are some beautiful campgrounds
with water you may find objectional.
The city water fill is on the curbside,
behind the double door.
Pull the plug out of the vent hole when filling.
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 list these dumping stations.
When stopping for the night your Airstream is built to be safely parked in
any spot that is relatively level and where the ground is firm.
Your
facilities are with you.
You are self-contained.
Try to pick as level a parking spot as possible.
Although your refrigerator
may operate off level, the longevity of the cooling unit will decrease.
Keep
the bubble of the refrigerator level within the circle and it will be fine.
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.
