Heated Tanks; Safety - Airstream Tommy Bahama Interstate Nineteen 2020 Owner's Manual

Heated Tanks

The Interstate Nineteen Touring Coach has 12-volt
heat pads installed with the fresh and gray water
tanks to help prevent freezing� The tank pads can
be controlled by the main Multiplex control panel
located near the side entry door or the one above the
TV� On your multiplex screen, press "control" to get
to the main control list� Scroll down to the bottom to
find "Tank Heaters". When the outside temperature
is near freezing, simply switch "ON" the holding tank
heaters� Built-in sensors will activate the heat pads
when the contents of the tanks drop to 44°F� Once
the liquid is heated and rises to 64°F the heat pads
will automatically deactivate� Switch the power "OFF"
when the ambient outside temperature remains above
freezing or if the tanks are empty� Battery power will
last about 4 hours unless the unit is plugged into an
external AC power source or the generator is ran
to operate the inverter/charger� To conserve battery
power, RV antifreeze may be used to protect the gray
and black tanks�
NOTE
The black tank is installed above the floor where
heat from the furnace will keep it from freezing.
NOTE
Drain and winterize all models if the water systems
are not being used during winter traveling. Refer
to Section 9 - Maintenance in this manual for
winterizing instructions.

General Information

Safety

As always, safety should be a top priority� Ensure
that you, and everyone traveling with you, can quickly
operate the main door and the emergency exit window
in the dark� Plan for other means of escape in case
these designated exits are blocked�
The escape windows(s) are identified by their red
release handles� To release the escape windows, lift up
on both latches, push on the glass, and swing it clear�
The window operation should be checked before
each trip and the latches lubricated with silicon
spray or an equivalent lubricant every 3 months.
Read the directions on the fire extinguisher
carefully. If you have any doubts as to its
operation, you and your family should practice,
and then replace or recharge the extinguisher. Your
local fire department will be able to assist you and
answer any questions.
Do not smoke inside the touring coach. Keep
matches out of reach of small children. Do not
clean with flammable material. Keep flammable
material away from open flame. Always shut off the
LP gas at the bottles when fueling a tow vehicle.
We have all heard the above warnings many times,
yet the situations or occurrences they discuss are still
among the leading causes of fires.
Safety information concerning the LPG system of your
touring coach is located in Section 6 - Exterior of this
