Toilet

Standard RV Toilet

The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has
been used for many years� One pedal is used to open
and close the slide mechanism, as well as, open the
water valve�
In normal use, depressing the pedal dumps the
sewage and fresh water flushes down the side of the
bowl� Water will continue to run into the bowl for a short
time after the pedal is released�
When you wish to conserve water, hold the hand-spray
head (if equipped) over the bowl and hold down the
thumb-operated lever� When depressing the pedal, all
the water is routed through the hand-spray�
NOTICE
When you dump the bowl of the toilet, make
sure all paper and solids have cleared the slide
mechanism before you allow it to close. Failure
to do so can cause the groove for the slide to
become jammed and the slide will no longer
close completely.
Please see the toilet owner's/user manual for warranty
and user tips, and maintenance information�

Deodorizers and Biological Chemicals

There are many deodorizers and processing chemicals
on the market in tablet, liquid, and powder form� These
not only combat odor, but also stimulate the bacteria
that works to dissolve the solids and tissues in your
waste tank� These chemicals should be introduced
through the toilet prior to use per the manufacturers
directions� It's also important to always add a few
gallons of water by filling the toilet bowl a few times
and depressing the foot pedal�
Optional Composting Toilet
A composting toilet separates liquids from solids by
diverting liquid to the combination gray/black water
tank (REI 16) or the black tank (REI 20) to effectively
reduce solid matter volume, which allows the user to
remain off-grid for extended periods� For instructions
on using, cleaning, and maintaining the composting
toilet, refer to the user instructions provided in your
owner's packet�
Turn the battery disconnect switch to ON before using
the composting toilet� The battery disconnect switch
activates the built-in 12-volt vent fan, which provides
a constant negative pressure to expel moisture and
odorous air through the vent tube on the back of the
2024 REI Special Edition
toilet to an opening on the roadside exterior� The fan
must remain on until the container is emptied and
cleaned to ensure proper composting and to avoid
undesirable odors inside the trailer�
NOTICE
For proper composting and to avoid undesirable
odors inside the trailer, the ventilation fan
connected to the toilet must remain on and run
continuously until the container is removed and
emptied.

Faucet Cleaning and Care

All that is needed to clean your faucet is a soft, damp
cloth� Airstream does not recommend the use of scour
pads, cleansers, or chemicals� The abrasive nature of
these substances could damage the faucet's finish. A
non-abrasive car wax will help to protect the finish.
