Exterior
know the condition of the power coming from the
campsite power pedestal� Please refer to the provided
SmartPlug owner's manual for more information on
reverse polarity and the light codes�
Many campgrounds provide less than 30-amp service
and your hookup may blow their fuse or circuit breaker�
If this happens, reduce the load and replace the fuse or
reset the breaker�

120-Volt Outlet and TV/Satellite Inlets

Inlets for TV/Satellite and an outlet for a 120 volt
receptacle is located on the curbside of the travel trailer
and is labeled for your convenience� The trailer must
be plugged into a shoreline power supply for the outlet
to operate�
The TV and satellite inlets can be used to connect a
campground cable source or portable satellite antenna
for viewing inside the travel trailer�

Hitch/Coupler

The EZ-Latch coupler features a simple-to-use latching
mechanism� Hooking up is as easy as dropping the
coupler on to your hitch ball� Simply make sure that the
coupler is properly lined up with the ball, then lower
the coupler� The coupler will automatically open and
latch into place when lowered onto the hitch ball� To
disengage coupler, pull up on latch and raise coupler
off of hitch ball� Return the coupler latch to the latched
position to ensure that coupler is ready to be latched
again�
The coupler features a strong composite handle, If the
handle does get damaged or becomes missing, the
coupler is still completely operational until the handle
can be replaced� Replacement parts can be purchased
through your Airstream Dealer� See additional
information included in your owner's packet�
Always make sure coupler is properly attached and
latched before towing.

Axle and Running Gear Assembly

Each rubber torsion axle is aligned during
manufacturing, and double-checked on a random
basis� Alignment after delivery is the customer's
responsibility�
Hitting chuck holes or rough railroad tracks while
traveling straight will only cause misalignment after
the tire has struck such objects many times� Of
6-6
WARNING
course, a deep enough hole can affect the alignment
immediately�
The worse culprit is a curb because they are normally
struck at an angle� Rear axles are occasionally
damaged when people are attempting to park beside a
curb while backing up their trailer�
The trailer axle(s) is bent upward in the middle� This
bend is normal and is how the camber is obtained�
Also, toe-in is built into the axle by very slight bends in
the axle tube on each end�
Tire wear indicates misalignment� Check with your
dealer for the nearest location having the proper
equipment to correct the trailer's alignment�
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for camber and toe-in
specifications.

Nev-R-Lube Drums/Bearings

All Flying Cloud models are equipped with Nev-R-
Lube bearings� Dexter's Nev-R-Lube bearings are
comprised of opposed tapered roller bearing cones
sealed inside a precision-ground, one-piece, double-
cup arrangement� These bearings are designed with
a small amount of axial end-play� The end-play is
essential to the longevity of the bearing's service life�
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for Nev-R-Lube
Bearing inspection�

Power Jack

A switch located on the bottom of the housing operates
the power jack� When the jack is fully extended or
retracted, internal limit switches automatically shut off
the motor�
The jack is wired directly to the battery and has a
spade fuse between the battery and the power head�
For fuse information and part number, refer to section
8 - Maintenance of this manual�
• Use the jack for lifting the trailer only�
• Never get beneath the travel trailer when only the
power jack supports it�
• Support the vehicle by appropriate means�
Avoid the risk of injury to yourself and others.
Keep hands and feet from under the foot plate
when using the jack. Do not use or install dolly
wheels on the power jack. Failure to comply could
result in serious injury
