Page 15 TOWING YOUR AIRSTREAM TOW VEHICLE EQUIPMENT If you plan to buy a new vehicle to tow your trailer we suggest that you include in your purchase the towing options offered by most vehicle manufacturers. These include such things a heavy-duty alternator and radiator, heavy-duty springs, (See Note:) shock absorbers, transmission cooler, heavy-duty fan and ﬂasher unit and others,...
Page 16 TOWING e. Calipers and Brake Lines – for evidence of brake ﬂuid leak. Preventive Maintenance 1. Visually check brakes before each trip. See item 4 in safety Information. 2. After each hook-up, always check trailer brake operation before attaining normal driving speed.
Page 17 Breakaway Protection The breakaway system is required to supply power to the ActiBrake system in the event the trailer becomes uncoupled from the towing vehicle. Failure to maintain adequate charge in the breakaway battery will result in the breakaway system not functioning properly. This may result in physical injury and/or property damage in the event of a breakaway! The breakaway battery is the trailer batteries.
Page 18 TOWING will hear the motor engage if the tow vehicle and trailer are properly connected. If the ActiBrake does not function, immediately discontinue operation. Determining and Setting Proper Trailer Braking Force Become Familiar with Braking of the Coupled Tow Vehicle and Trailer. After the system installation has been veriﬁed, the operator should take the trailer to an empty parking lot to become familiar with the operation of the braking action of the combined tow vehicle-trailer.
Page 19 Which Tow vehicle Controller Is Best? IMPORTANT This trailer is equipped with an electric-hydraulic brake actuator. Before you plug the trailer’s electrical connector in to your tow vehicle ensure the following: 1) Verify that an approved brake controller is properly installed in the tow vehicle, per the brake controller manufacturer’s instructions.
Page 20 TOWING Settings and Use of Tow vehicle Controllers The settings of the tow vehicle controller are set by the driver. When properly set, the braking force of the trailer will provide sufﬁcient braking so the brakes of the towing vehicle are not required to provide any braking force for the trailer. Variations in the controller settings may be required for different road conditions and for changes in trailer load.
Page 21 Failure to maintain proper charge in the breakaway battery will result in the breakaway system not functioning properly. This may result in physical injury and/or property damage in the event of a breakaway! Charge Battery When Necessary If battery’s charge is low, or if the trailer has been parked for a prolonged period, charge the battery by connecting the trailer 110-volt shoreline or running the tow vehicle with the 7-way cord connected.

Page 23 LOADING Below is a sample of the weight information chart provided in all Airstream vehicles. This information can be found in your vehicle on the back of the ﬁrst wardrobe door on the curbside of the vehicle about 60” up from the ﬂoor.
Page 24: Weighing Your Trailer
TOWING WEIGHING YOUR TRAILER The diagram shows how to weigh the trailer on scales. The allowable personal cargo must be distributed in your trailer in such a manner that the Gross Axle Weight Rating is not exceeded. To determine this it is necessary to load all of your allowable personal cargo and variable weights.
Page 25 Your hitch installer should provide your hitch rating information to you. Sway Control Device Although Airstream has not intruded into the hitch manufacturers ﬁeld of expertise and preformed formal testing, we ﬁnd the vast majority of Airstream owners purchases sway-control devices.
Page 26: Towing Tips
TOWING TOWING TIPS We want every owner to be a safe and courteous driver. A few hours of towing practice in a large empty supermarket lot will make pulling your trailer over the road much easier. Line out two corners for left and right turns. You may also use these corners to practice backing and parking.
Page 27 speed. It is both courteous and sensible to signal, pull onto the shoulder, and let them pass. Your trailer is designed to be towed easily at any legal speed, so if you are not careful you may be inclined to forget it is there. Passing ON FREEWAYS OR EXPRESSWAYS try to pick the lane you want and stay in it.
Page 28 TOWING Backing Up In BACKING UP the important thing to remember is to DO EVERYTHING SLOWLY and to correct immediately if you see the trailer turning the wrong way. Concentrate on the rear of the trailer. With your tow vehicle and trailer in a straight line back up slowly and turn the bottom of the steering wheel in the direction you want the trailer to go.
Page 29 Controlling Sway or Fishtailing Sway or ﬁshtailing is the sideways action of a trailer caused by external forces. It is common for travel trailers to sway in response to strong winds or crosswinds or when passed by or passing a semi-tractor and trailer or driving downhill. WARNING: Excessive sway or ﬁshtailing of your travel trailer can lead to the rollover of the trailer and tow vehicle.
Page 30: Suggested Pre-Travel Check List
CAMPING SUGGESTED PRE-TRAVEL CHECK LIST Interior Turn off water pump switch. Check battery water level. Close windows and vents. Lock all interior cabinet doors. Latch refrigerator door. (Seal containers ﬁrst.) Hold down or stack securely all loose, hard and sharp objects. Fasten sliding and foldette doors.
Page 31 Trailer Equipment and Accessories Water hose, 5/8 in. high pressure, tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, (2 -- 25 ft. sections). “Y” connection -- water hose. The sewer hose with clamp. Drain cap with hose drain. Holding tank cleaner and deodorizer. Power cord adapter 30 --amp Capacity. 50 ft.
Page 32 CAMPING SAFETY As always, safety should be one of your top priorities. Make sure you, and everyone traveling with you, can operate the main door and emergency exit window rapidly without light. Contemplate other means of escape in case the designated exits are blocked.
Page 33: Overnight Stop-Extended Stay
Unless the tow vehicle is needed for transportation, it is not necessary to unhitch. All you need to do to enjoy the self-contained luxury of your Airstream is to turn on the LP gas and light any appliances with pilots.
Page 34 CAMPING Leveling and Stabilizing When you plan to stay in the same place for several days, weeks or months, you will want your trailer to be as level and steady as possible. Check the attitude with a small spirit level set on the inside work counter or the trailer hitch “A-Frame”. (See Diagram Below) If a correction is necessary then YOU MUST LEVEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE FIRST This can he done easily by backing the trailer up one or more 2”...
Page 35 HOOK UPS City Water Hookup HOOK UP TO CITY WATER by attaching a minimum 1/2” high- Water pressure water hose to the city water service. The 110-volt shoreline cord is stored in the rear storage compartment. Remove the cord and plug the trailer end into the receptacle on the side of the trailer.
Page 36: Winter Traveling
CAMPING WINTER TRAVELING Traveling in sub-freezing temperatures will require certain precautions to protect the plumbing system and your personal belongings from being damaged by freezing. Whenever possible the heat should be kept on at a constant temperature. It is easier for the furnace to keep a constant room temperature than for the trailer temperature to be allowed to drop to 50 degrees Fahrenheit then attempt to raise it to room temperature.
Page 37: Tips To Controlling Condensation
TIPS TO CONTROLLING CONDENSATION To avoid condensation problems, try to follow these tips to help alleviate excess moisture. • Allow excess moisture to escape to the outside when bathing, washing dishes, hair drying, laundering, and using appliances and non- vented gas burners. Always use the vent hood when cooking.
Page 38: Slide Out Room
CAMPING SLIDE OUT ROOM The trailer should be level prior to extending the slide out room. The front stabilizing jacks MUST be deployed. If the front jacks aren’t down when the room is extended the side to side imbalance will twist the body of the trailer if it’s only supported by the front hitch jack.
Page 39 If a substance is found on the coating that cannot be removed by normal washing procedures, Airstream recommends using DX 330 Acryli-Clean made by PPG Industries. Follow all directions and warnings on the product container. Acryli-Clean should be used by trained personnel only, using the proper equipment under controlled conditions.
Page 40 ﬁnger, working it into the surface. This is a good practice for all rubber seals in your trailer. For replacement of a damaged window contact an Airstream Service Center. Your PLASTIC SCREENS are easy to maintain. Clean occasionally with a damp cloth.
Page 41 COUPLER The standard RECOMMENDED HITCH BALL HEIGHT for an Airstream is 18” on all models except the slide outs which are 19.75”. If you plan long trips with the trailer heavily loaded you should check your trailer, after loading, to determine the optimum height.
Page 42: Power Jack
EXTERIOR POWER JACK A switch located on the bottom of the housing operates the power jack. When the jack is fully extended or retracted internal limit switches automatically shut off the motor. Another switch operated the convenience light. Should an electrical failure occur, remove the power head by loosening the two Allen set screws.
Page 43 TIRES Your trailer is equipped at the factory with name brand trailer tires. Airstream dealers cannot make adjustments to tires. A dealer who handles that particular brand must do this. If you ever have tire problems check the local telephone directory for the nearest dealer.
Page 44: Tire Rotation
AXLE AND RUNNING GEAR ASSEMBLY Each Airstream RUBBER TORSION axle is aligned during manufacturing, and double- checked on a random basis. Alignment after delivery is the customer’s responsibility. Hitting chuck holes or rough railroad tracks while going straight will only cause misalignment after the tire has been struck many repetitive times.
Page 45: How Overloading Affects Your Tires
TIRES Load/Inﬂation Information for Your Tires Maintaining proper tire inﬂation pressure is essential for both tire safety and performance. Proper Tire Inﬂation The level of air in your tires affects your vehicle’s overall performance. Not even the highest quality tire will perform well if it’s not inﬂated properly.
Page 46 Bearing end play inspection, drum removal/installation, and bearing replacement procedures are described in the Dexter Operation Maintenance Manual enclosed in you owner’s packet. Airstream recommends that these procedures are pre- formed by a qualiﬁed Dexter service technician due the need of specialized tools and training.

Page 48: Tire Care
EXTERIOR WEIGHING YOUR TRAVEL TRAILER OR TOWED VEHICLE Since a trailer or towed vehicle adds to the load on your RV’s tires, it is crucial to properly weigh towed vehicles. A travel trailer should ﬁrst be weighed with the tongue, while detached from the pulling vehicle. The actual weight of the trailer must be less than or equal to the GVWR for safe operation, otherwise contents must be removed until the weight is within maximum GVWR...
Page 49 The Importance of Proper Air Pressure The amount of air pressure in a tire determines the load that can be carried safely. Every tire will have the maximum load and inﬂation molded into the sidewall of the tire. This load and inﬂation ratio should never be exceeded since this can cause handling problems, irregular wear, and component failure.
Page 50 EXTERIOR actual loaded conditions. Under inﬂation of a tire can cause poor handling, irregular wear, and decreased fuel economy. It also causes extreme heat build up within the components of the tire, which can lead to failure. Over inﬂation of the tire causes a deformation of the contact patch resulting in crowning of the center tread.
Page 51 Proper Inspection and Storage of Tires Before taking your RV on a trip or when removing from an extended storage period, make it a practice to inspect the overall condition of your tires. Check for any type of condition or damage that might result in failure. A thorough check should include both inside and outside sidewalls, tread area and the condition of hardware such as valve stems, valve caps, and wheels.
Page 52 EXTERIOR Lug Nut Torquing WARNING : WHEEL SEPARATION CAN OCCUR 1. On ﬁrst trip, tighten wheel lugs at start and at 10, 25, and 50 miles. 2. Thereafter, check wheel lugs before each trip. 3. Following winter storage, check before beginning a trip. 4.
Page 53 Customers replacing original equipment that has not been tested for compatibil- ity must ensure the replacements are compatible to the hub and drum assembly installed. Such elements of compatibility include, but are not limited to: · Diameter of the hub-mounting surface. ·...
Page 54 INTERIOR INTERIOR The interior of all Airstream trailers has been designed for comfort, convenience, durability and appearance. How you use it and how you take care of it naturally depends on you. However, if you learn to operate the interior components and take care of them and the trailer properly, this knowledge will add to your pleasure as well as the long life of your trailer.
Page 55 The leaf then unfolds and rests against the leg support. Airstream recommends that during travel the table be folded up and stored. It has pressure catches to hold it in place during travel.
Page 56 INTERIOR Water Pump Switch Fresh water pump switches are located on the monitor panel and in the lavatory. Once the switch is turned on the pump will run until the water pressure reaches about 65 psi. At this point an internal pressure switch will shut it off.
Page 57 Storage The kitchen cabinet should have the heaviest items on the bottom and lighter items overhead. After loading you should have the skillets and can goods on the ﬂoor or bottom shelf, and the cereals and crackers in the overhead roof locker. Use the unbreakable type plates and saucers, and consider storing your dish towels around them.

Page 62: Fill Valve
PLUMBING PLUMBING SYSTEMS LIQUID PETROLEUM GAS (LPG) FILL VALVE Your trailer is equipped with LP tank ﬁll valves called “RV Type I Acme” connection. The large, green, nylon swivel nut is a right hand thread and is designed for hand operation only. The valve features an internal spring-loaded module that will not allow gas to ﬂow from the cylinder until a positive seal has been made at the connection.
Page 63: Automatic Gas Regulator
AUTOMATIC GAS REGULATOR All models are equipped with a two stage automatic change over gas regulator that offers the convenience of automatic changeover from empty to full gas cylinders. Both tanks are connected to this regulator. Make sure there is propane in both tanks before you start.
Page 64: Basic Rules For Safety
PLUMBING BASIC RULES FOR SAFETY Many things can be construed as safety related, but the most important is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, ﬂammable material or any other hazardous material, we are sure you realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased.
Page 65: Water System-Self Contained
WATER SYSTEM-SELF CONTAINED Fill the water tank by opening the exterior access door and remove screw cap. A garden hose can now be inserted. It’s a good idea to let the water run through the hose for a short time to ﬂush it out. Experienced RVers usually ﬁll their tanks with “home” water to avoid strange water that may be distasteful to them.
Page 66 PLUMBING SANITIZING Potable water systems require periodic maintenance to deliver a consistent ﬂow of fresh water. Depending on use and the environment the system is subject to, sanitizing is recommended prior to storing and before using the water system after a period of storage.
Page 67: City Water Hook-Up
CITY WATER HOOK-UP The city water hook-up is found in the underbelly untility compartment on the trailer. A short piece of hose has been provided to extend the city water hookup. Use a high-pressure hose of at least 1/2” diameter. It should be one that is tasteless, odorless and non-toxic designed for RV use.

Page 71: Drain Valves
WATER VALVES Your Airstream has 6 in-line water shut off valves. One is for the water puriﬁer, two are for shutting off the cold water supply to the toilet and exterior water service, three are for bypassing the water heater when winterizing using the anti-freeze method as explained in the winterizing section of this manual.
Page 72: Winterizing And Storage
PLUMBING WINTERIZING AND STORAGE When storing your trailer for short or long periods use the same precautions as you would in your own home in regard to perishables, ventilation and rain protection. In addition, for prolonged storage periods ﬂush out all the drain lines and the holding tanks.
Page 73: Drain And Waste System
14. Remove any items (food, cosmetics, etc.) from trailer interior that might be damaged by freezing - or might damage the trailer if containers break. For additional winterizing protection add a non-toxic antifreeze (approved for drinking water system) to the water lines using the following procedure. 1.
Page 74 PLUMBING Monitor Panel Check your monitor panel frequently. When the BLACK WATER HOLDING TANK is completely full, sewage cannot be emptied from the toilet bowl. If the GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK is overﬁlled, drain water will “backup” into the tub and cause an unpleasant cleaning job.
Page 75 313-769-6000 1-800-321-9866 The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years. There are two pedals. The large pedal opens and closes the slide mechanism, and the smaller pedal opens and closes a water valve.
Page 76 ELECTRICAL ELECTRICAL The major portion of electrical power in your Airstream is 12-volt. The 12-volt current powers the fans, furnaces, water pump, and water heater ignition. The exception would be the air conditioner and microwave oven. All 12-volt current comes through the battery system in the front of your trailer.
Page 77: Volt System
12-VOLT SYSTEM BATTERY The battery (batteries) are located inside doors on the exterior front plate of the trailer or insidie battery boxes in the trailer A-frame. NOTICE: A normal battery can discharge by itself in 30 to 40 days when not in use, therefore, IT IS NECESSARY TO PERIODICALLY CHECK THE BATTERY AND CHARGE IT AS IS NECESSARY.
Page 78: Power Circuits
ELECTRICAL WARNING : The gases generated within a storage battery cell may be ignited by an open ﬂame or spark in the vicinity of the battery. Do not use a match or ﬂame to provide light for checking the level of the water. During the winter the battery should be removed from the trailer and stored in a cool, dry place, where there is no danger of freezing.
