WARNING
Airstream recommends shutting off the gas
supply at the LPG tanks before refueling the tow
vehicle or entering a refueling station.

Maintenance

Follow the instructions and warnings noted in the
respective appliance and equipment owner's manuals,
as well as those mentioned below�
Annual maintenance should be conducted on propane
gas appliances and equipment by an authorized dealer
or repair facility�
Insects can build nests in the burners of various
appliances and equipment� The burner and burner
orifice of the propane gas appliances and equipment
should be cleaned out by an authorized dealer or repair
facility anytime circumstances or conditions warrant,
but no less than on an annual basis�
DANGER
Most LPG appliances used in recreational
vehicles are vented to the outside of the vehicle.
When parked close to a gasoline pump, it is
possible that gasoline fumes could enter this
type of appliance and ignite from the burner
flame, CAUSING A FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

Air Conditioner

The roof A/C used on your Airstream has the lowest
profile of any A/C on the market today. Coupled with an
industry exclusive fiberglass basepan this lower profile
and lighter weight means less drag and improved fuel
efficiency. In your owner's packet is a set of literature
covering all operating and maintenance instructions�
If the literature is misplaced, contact the A/C
manufacturer or your Airstream dealer for replacement�
Proper voltage to the air conditioner is critical� A
voltmeter check may find voltage much lower at a
campground shoreline outlet than the needed 110 to
120 volts� Your air conditioner may not function if the
current drops below 105 volts� Low voltage is usually
associated with older or poorly maintained trailer parks�
Parking your trailer so the power cord can be plugged
into a receptacle close to the fuse or circuit breaker box
can alleviate low voltage problems� Avoid extension
cords and adapters whenever possible� If an extension
cord must be used, it should be as short and heavy as
possible to provide the most current�
If high temperatures are expected, make an effort to
park in a shaded area� Starting the air conditioner
early in the morning also helps. It is more efficient to
hold a comfortable temperature than it is to lower the
temperature after the interior of the trailer is already
hot�
Never run your air conditioner with the vents closed�
Doing so could cause the air conditioner to freeze and
may damage the unit� The manufacturer recommends
having at least 3 vents open when running to prevent
any chance of freezing up� We recommend that you
clean out the filters at least every two weeks when
running the air conditioner on a continual basis�
WARNING
Review the air conditioning literature supplied in
your owner's packet before proceeding.
