Interior
The Airstream interior has been designed for
comfort, convenience, durability and appear¬
ance. An understanding of the operational
procedures and maintenance techniques of
the interior appointments will add to your
pleasure as well as the long life of your trailer.
Drapery, upholstery and mattress covers must
be professionally dry cleaned with a mild,
pure, water-free solvent. However, a water
based cleaning agent or water based foam may
be used on the upholstery.
Your Airstream upholstery is treated with
Scotchgard® and will repel moisture. Minor
spills may be removed by blotting. Avoid
rubbing as this will work soil into the fabric.
To convert the lounge into a bed, pull the
back cushion down toward you onto the seat.
Grasp the front rail of the seat in the center,
lift it slightly and pull it out until it stops.
Lay the back cushion down to finish the bed.
To return, reverse this process.
The bunk beds (optional), located in the
bedroom, serve as the bolster for the bed
when not in use.
In order to place bunk into sleeping position:
1. Depress latch (A) located on the center
back side of the bolster.
2. With latch depressed pull up on fabric loop
(B) located on the center front bottom of
bolster. This will allow bolster filler to
hinge down.
3. Bring bolster filler up to horizontal posi¬
tion and attach both straps onto bracket
on ceiling.
To lower bunk:
1. Release straps.
2. Rotate bolster filler into latched position.
3. Lower bolster down against wall.
Make beds in the usual way, using fitted
sheets % bed size. The space behind the rear
cushion is ideal for storing bedding for both
front travel lounges and side pull-out beds. An
easy method of storing bedding is to remove
and store pillows and then fold back the ends
of the bedding neatly to expose about 2" of
the mattress; then, starting from the edge
nearest to you, roll up the bedding as tightly
