Heated Tanks; Safety - Airstream TOMMY BAHAMA 2020 Owner's Manual

Heated Tanks

The Tommy Bahama Touring Coach has 12-volt heat
pads installed with the fresh and gray water tanks to
help prevent freezing� The tank pads are controlled
by either of the touch screen Multiplex control panels
located in the front or rear of the touring coach� 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
