Appliances
1. I am planning for a trip in my Airstream. How
should I get the refrigerator cooled down?
Answer: Turn the power on and set the thermostat
between 3 and 4� You can make further adjustments
to suit your personal requirements after the box has
cooled down� Allow the refrigerator to come down to
temperature before loading with product� Setting the
thermostat to a higher setting, e�g� 7, will not decrease
the time required for the unit to cool down to its normal
operating temperature� AC/DC units cool at the same
rate on DC as on AC� Normal refrigerator operating
temperatures are 34ºF to 40ºF�
2. My air conditioner freezes up. What is the
problem?
Answer: In high humidity conditions, the AC
manufacturer recommends you operate your AC
(manual mode) on the high fan setting and all vents
should be open to have maximum air flow over the
coils; this helps reduce icing. Also, dirty AC filters can
restrict air flow and cause the AC to ice up.
Maintenance
1. Can I have my awning out with heavy winds?
Answer: No this may cause damage if it is too windy�
However, the awning does have a built in sensor that
will automatically retract the awning�
2. I want to clean the exterior of my Airstream.
What do you suggest?
Answer: Airstream recommends washing the touring
coach using a mild, auto detergent, safe for clear
coated surfaces� Airstream recommends washing
based on operating conditions, and waxing a minimum
of twice a year� Any automotive wax designed
specifically for clear coated surfaces will provides good
wax protection�
