ROOF VE:-.iTS
Some of the roof vents include a 12 volt fan.
The fan should not be
operated for long period of time without the vent cap being opened at least
a small amount.
There is no regular maintenance required.

If any new parts are ever
The vents have been installed so the side of the cap that raises is toward
the rear of the motorhome.
This allows you to leave them partially open
when you travel.
RVers have argued for years about driving with the vents
partially open.
Some say the vents exhaust hot air when they are driving
so the motorhomes aren't stuffy.
Others say the vents cause a vacuum in
the unit and tend to suck in dust.
RANGE EXHAUST
The range exhaust has two switches.
One for the fan blower motor, and
the second for a light.
The filter should be washed on a regular basis
according to usage.
Sliding the filter toward the outside wall will allow
the front edge to come down out of the frame.
Soak the filter in dish
water and let it air dry.
To change the 12 volt light bulb (#912) slide the lens down and it will
come free from the frame.
The bulb pulls straight out of the base.
MONITOR PANEL
The Jensen Micro Monitor panel is used so you can easily tell how much
water is in your tanks and the state of charge of the coach battery.
Since
Airstream has elected to use one large holding tank instead of two small
ones, only one of the holding tank monitors will be functioning.
Included on the panel is the water pump switch.
Information on water
pump operation is included in the plumbing section of this manual.
The switch directly below the monitor panel is for the electronic ignition
Atwood water heater.
When the switch is depressed the red light will flash
until the burner is ignited or the "try" cycle is completed.
If the water
heater hasn't been used for a while it is normal for a few cycles to be
required since air in the gas line will have
