CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation that, if not avoided, could result in property damage. NOTE: Important information regarding the maintenance of your recreational vehicle. (Optional) This denotes items that may be an option on all or particular models.
  • Page 4 INTRODUCTION Appliances and Equipment (See section F, pages 1-4) The appliances (stove, refrigerator, outdoor grills, etc.) and equipment (hot water heater, furnace generator, etc.) typically operate on propane gas. Propane gas is flammable and is contained under high pressure. Improper use may result in a fire and/or explosion.
  • Page 5 INTRODUCTION Ventilation To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing it is of utmost importance that you ventilate your recreational vehicle. Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity. Open windows, exhaust vents, and doors.

    Airstream, Inc. (“Airstream”) warrants that it will repair or replace defects in mate- rial or workmanship in any components of a new Airstream trailer purchased from an authorized Airstream dealer in the United States or Canada for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date the trailer is first delivered to the original retail purchaser.
  • Page 9 The entire Limited Warranty provided by Airstream is set forth herein. Airstream will not be responsible for any additional representations or warranties made by any person or entity other than Airstream, and Airstream’s obligations are solely as set forth in the terms and conditions of this Limited Warranty.

It should be kept in the trailer during the warranty period.
  • Page 11 Owner’s Manual or gross vehicle weight rating plate. The Airstream axle is manufactured to a tolerance of 1-degree camber and 1/8” toe-in. These tolerances will only change if the trailer is subjected to abuse, such as dropping off a sharp berm, striking a curb, or hitting a deep hole in the road.

  • Page 12: Reporting Safety Defects

    If you believe that your vehicle has a defect, which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Airstream, Inc. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.

    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 tow vehicle manufacturers. These include such things as a heavy-duty alternator and radiator, heavy-duty springs (See Note), shock absorbers, transmission cooler, heavy-duty fan and flasher unit and others, depending upon the make of the vehicle.
  • Page 18 TOWING IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENTAL SEPARATION of the tow vehicle and the trailer, the BREAK-AWAY SWITCH will set and lock the trailer brakes for a sufficient length of time to stop the trailer. The switch is activated when the wire attached to it and to the tow vehicle pulls out the small pin in the front of the unit.

  • Page 20: Weighing Your Trailer

    TOWING WEIGHING YOUR TRAILER The diagram below shows how to weigh the trailer on scales. When loading heavy objects such as tools, skillets, irons, and boxes of canned goods, etc. keep them as low as possible - preferably on the floor. Try to hold additional weight behind the axle to a minimum.
  • Page 21 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. When passed by large trucks or when exposed to sudden crosswinds the trailer will be “pushed” and this action will be felt in the tow vehicle.
  • Page 22 TOWING Steps for Hitching Up The following steps are for a typical hitch system and are not meant to supercede instructions and training provided for the hitch installed on your tow vehicle. Please follow instructions and training pro- vided with your hitch and its installer. The next page is provided for notes as needed on your hitch.

  • Page 24: Towing Tips

    TOWING TOWING TIPS 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. After thoroughly inspecting your hitch, brakes, and tires you should be ready to tow.
  • Page 25 Passing ON FREEWAYS OR EXPRESSWAYS try to pick the lane you want and stay in it. Always maintain plenty of space between you and the car ahead, at least the length of the tow vehicle plus trailer for every ten miles per hour.
  • Page 26 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 27: Suggested Pre-Travel Check List

    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.

As always, safety should be one of your top priorities. Make sure you, and everyone traveling with you is familiar with and follows these cautions and warnings.

  • Page 31: Overnight Stop

    If you must park on a slope, PARK FACING DOWNHILL. It is easier to level the trailer this way. 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 32: Extended Stay

    CAMPING EXTENDED STAY Making a long trip in your Airstream is not very different from making a weekend excursion. Since everything you need is right at hand, you are at home wherever you go. When packing for an extended trip, take every- thing you need, but only what you need.

  • 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 kept on 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 50 degrees Fahrenheit then attempt to raise it to a comfortable level.

  • Page 37: Effects Of Prolonged Occupancy

    EFFECTS OF PROLONGED OCCUPANCY Your trailer was designed primarily for recreational use and short-term occupancy. If you expect to occupy the trailer for an extended period, be prepared to deal with condensation and the humid conditions that may be encountered. The relatively small volume and tight compact construction of modern recreation vehicles mean that the normal living activities of even a few occupants will lead to rapid moisture saturation of the air contained in the trailer and the appearance of visible moisture, especially in...

  • Page 38: About Molds

    CAMPING ABOUT MOLDS What are molds? Molds are microscopic organisms that naturally occur in virtually every environment, indoors and out. Outdoors, mold growth is important in the decomposition of plants. Indoors, mold growth is unfavorable. Left unchecked, molds break down natural ma- terials, such as wood products and fabrics.
  • Page 39 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.

These differences are important and require special attention to wheel nut torque both while the trailer is new and throughout the trailer’s life. Trailer wheels must carry much higher loads per wheel than passenger car or truck wheels.
