The bar and overhead roof locker is a central point
which holds glassware, mixing utensils and storage for
all sizes of bottles� Make sure everything is secured for
travel before driving�
Clothes hung in wardrobes should be kept on hangers
that snap over the clothes rods to keep them from
bouncing off on rough roads� Try to avoid large bulky
coats� Layers of lighter clothing will usually keep you
warmer, are more versatile, and are easier to store�
Keep flammable material away from the furnace.
Power Blinds
All Tommy Bahama models come with remote operated
power blinds� The blinds feature a mechanical limit
switch to prevent accidental loss or change of limits
due to power surges or power outages� They will
retain their pre-set limit stops even if the blind is pulled
down manually by mistake� These presets are set at
Airstream and shouldn't need adjusted� The power
remote is also programmed beforehand and should
only need reprogrammed if a blind has been replaced�
Refer to the Power Blinds owner's manual for operating
and cleaning tips�
Remote Instructions
1� Select the channel for the blind to operate using
the + and - selector on the remote�
2� To lower the blind fully press and hold the DOWN
arrow for about 3 seconds or more, and then
release�
3� To stop the blind in mid travel press the STOP
button�
4� To tilt the slats in the blind press briefly and release
the UP or DOWN arrow� Repeat until the desired
tilt of the slat is reached�
5� To raise the blind fully, press and hold the UP arrow
for about 3 seconds or more, and then release�
NOTE

WARNING
Electrical
12-Volt System
The major portion of electrical power in your Airstream
is 12 volt� The 12-volt current powers almost every
thing except the roof A/C, water heater, 120-volt
receptacles, and microwave oven� Some of these
appliances have 12-volt electronic boards�
All 12-volt current is routed to a 12-volt pass-through
power stud mounted on the battery box� The power
stud is the hub of the 12-volt system� It ties together
the inverter/charger, house battery, and battery
separator�
Power from the stud goes to a buss bar with four
breaker positions holding Type 2 thermal breakers�
The thermal breakers feed the rear lounge motor, the
tank heater pads, and the battery disconnect switch�
A position is left open to add a breaker for an optional
solar panel� The breaker buss bar with breakers is
located under the roadside rear lounge�
Power is then routed from the battery disconnect
switch to the 12-volt distribution panel, located inside
the rear center lounge door, and through its branch
circuits to the rest of the touring coach�
CAUTION
Thermal breakers break contact when overheated
by a short or overload in the wiring. These
breakers automatically reset when cooled down.
A breaker continually overheating and breaking
contact should be investigated by a qualified
service technician.
12-Volt Operation
The only thing you have to do is make sure the house
battery does not run down� In normal usage this
shouldn't be a problem since you would normally be
plugged into an external AC power source at night or
when camping� When you're plugged into shoreline
power or running the generator the inverter/charger
charges the battery and carries much of the load�
Some nights you may not find a place to plug into
city power� This should not be a problem; you can
comfortably run your lights, water pump, and vents in a
normal fashion without depleting the battery�
