Windows
Clean your touring coach windows the same way you
clean the windows in your home� Clean the seals with
a damp cloth and mild detergent every 3 to 6 months�
Do not use strong solvents, as they will damage the
seals� A coat of natural silicone lubricant applied after
the seal has dried will keep it flexible. Spread the
lubricant evenly with a brush or finger, working it into
the surface� This is a good practice for all rubber seals
in your touring coach�
WARNING
Failure to properly clean and lubricate the
window seals could result in the window sticking
to the jamb and should only be released by a
qualified technician trained in the procedure. Do
not force, pry, or apply great pressure to open the
window. Failure to heed this warning may cause
the window to shatter and/or cause personal
For replacement of a damaged window, contact an
Airstream Service Center�
Gravity Water Fill
The gravity water fill is located on the backside of the
galley cabinet. It is used to fill the fresh water tank with
potable water� A small vent is located next to the port to
allow air to expel from the tank as it is filled.
Fill the water tank by opening the sliding door� A high-
pressure RV/Marine FDA approved drinking water
hose of at least ½-in� diameter made from material
that is tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic can now be
inserted� It's a good idea to let the water run through a
hose for a short time to flush it out. RVers sometimes
fill their tanks with "home" water to avoid strange
water that may be distasteful to them on short outings�
Remember, the more water you carry in the Fresh
Water tank, the less cargo carrying capacity you have
for other items� The amount of water in the tank may
be checked on the Multiplex Control Panel�
NOTICE
Since the fresh water tank fill is essentially in the
interior of the unit. Please monitor the amount of
water you are putting into the tank to ensure that
you do not have overflow into the coach.

City Water Hookup
The city water hookup is located on the roadside of the
touring coach. For consistent water flow and plumbing
line safety, an in-line regulator limits pressure to 50 psi�
Use a tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, high-pressure
hose of at least 1/2-in� diameter designed for touring
coach use� The city water inlet is a standard garden
hose thread� We suggest you carry two lengths of hose
in order to reach hookups farther away than normal, as
well as to have a spare�
After hooking up the hose and turning on the city water
valve provided in the park, slowly open a faucet� There
will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all the air is
expelled from the touring coach system� It may take
some time before all the air is expelled and a steady
flow of water occurs. Once a steady flow is achieved at
one faucet, the others should be opened long enough
to expel the air in the lines going to them�
Exterior Shower
All units are equipped with an exterior shower� This
shower consists of a shower hose, shower head, and
water valves inside a lockable exterior door� Water is
supplied by the pump or city water hookup� To use:
insert the hose into the inlet, pull back slightly to verify
it is securely connected� Press the spout button and
rotate the faucet handles to the desired temperature�
To remove the hose assembly, hold back the water
inlet fitting while simultaneously pulling out on the hose
fitting. Be sure to press the spout button to relieve any
residual pressure before removing the hose�
