General Information and Operation

Main Door
The main door of the trailer is manufactured with a
built-in keyed dead bolt and door lock� The door lock is
engaged from the inside by a lever and the dead bolt is
engaged by turning the knob�
A main door hold-back is mounted on the trailer's
exterior side skin� The hold back secures the door to
the side of the trailer� When opening the door, push it
gently into the spring-operated slide� To release the
door, slide the hold-back bolt back�
If the door handle becomes inoperable and the door
will not open from the inside, it can be opened by
manually lifting the door latch release tab� Fold back
the velcro adhered to the door frame to access the tab�
Lift the tab upward to release the latch and open the
door� Use the photo on the right (taken with the door
open) as a guide to locate the tab�
For lubrication and out-of-adjustment issues,
Door Care on page 8-19�
NOTICE
When towing, the door lock and dead bolt must
be secured. If it is not locked, the constant
vibration of travel may cause the door to open
resulting in possible damage.

Screen Door

The screen door is secured to the main door by a slide
bolt-type latch� It can be operated independently by
releasing the slide bolt and swinging the screen door
away from the main door�
NOTICE
Always reattach the screen door to the main
door prior to closing the main door; otherwise,
damage may occur.
2024 Classic

Door Bell

The Classic is equipped with a door bell system that is
powered by 4 C batteries� The door bell is located on
the entrance wall� The button to operate the door bell is
located right outside the main entrance door�

Emergency Escape Windows

To remove the screen, pull out the screen cord by the
cord loop at the bottom portion of the window� Turn
the two red latches inward and lift the two red arms on
each side, in unison, to open the window and push it
out for clearance�

Front End Protection

Window Stone Guards

The tinted solar plexiglass window stone guards on the
front of your Airstream provide added protection from
road debris while traveling and reduce the effects of
sun rays�
Raise the center window guard to allow air to flow
when the window is open� To raise, unhook the
two rubber T-handles on the bottom of the guard,
lift the guard to the desired height, and tighten the
thumbscrews on each support arm� Be sure to lower
and fasten the guard when high winds are approaching
see Main
and before travel�
The corner window guards are removable for cleaning�
Airstream recommends removing the corner guards
from the unit when cleaning to avoid damaging the
guards� There are two screws on each corner guard
near the center guard� A quarter-turn will loosen the
screws, and the guards will swing outward on their
hinges� Lift the guards off the hinges to remove them�
Close window guards before high winds and
storm conditions approach, or when towing to
avoid damage to the trailer and window guards
that cannot be covered by warranty.
