Service - Airstream Basecamp 2007 Owner's Manual

delivery for any damage caused by accident while being delivered to the dealer, or
while it is on the dealer's lot. Damage of this nature becomes the dealer or customer's
responsibility upon acceptance of delivery, unless Airstream is notified and the person
making the delivery verifies the damage. Glass breakage, whether obviously struck or
mysterious, is always accidental and covered by most insurance policies.
Abuse
Lack of customer care and/or improper maintenance will result in early failure for which
Airstream cannot be held responsible.
Exposure
Not unlike a car, the steel parts of a trailer can and will rust if subjected to prolonged
exposure to moisture, salt air, or corrosive air-borne pollutants without repainting.
Aluminum oxidizes when unprotected under similar conditions, and refinery chemicals
of a sulfurous nature are harmful to finishes if not washed off periodically. Extremely hot
or direct sunlight will deteriorate rubber and fade curtains and upholstery. Conditions
of this nature, although they may be normal for the area, are beyond Airstream's control
and become the responsibility of the owner.
It is the responsibility of the owner to take such preventative measures as are neces-
sary to maintain the exterior caulking and sealer of your unit. It is the responsibility of
the owner to use reasonable, prudent care to prevent foreseeable secondary damage
from rain, plumbing leaks, and the natural accumulation of moisture in your unit, such
as a delaminated floor; stained upholstery, carpeting, or drapes; mold formation and
growth; furniture damage, etc. Mold is a natural growth given certain environmental
conditions and is not covered by the terms of the Limited Warranty.
Overload
Damage due to loading, either beyond capacity or to cause improper towing be-
WARRANTY AND SERVICE
cause of improper balance, is beyond Airstream's responsibility. The Airstream trailer
is engineered to properly handle the gross vehicle load rating on the certification
label. Load distribution has a definite effect upon the towing characteristics and
attitudes of the trailer. Level hitch installations are a necessity, and very important
on a tandem axle trailer. There are limits to the amount of load that can be safely
transported depending upon speed and road conditions, and reasonable cause to
believe these factors have been exceeded could void the Airstream warranty. For
additional information on the loading of your trailer, consult your 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. Such damage could
be considered as resulting from an accident which risks are not covered under the
warranty. Abnormal tire wear and/or wheel alignment resulting from such damage is
not covered under the terms of the warranty.
Chemical Gassing
Chemical gassing is not a "Defect" in your recreational vehicle and is not covered by
the Limited Warranty. Please follow the recommendations in this manual to address
this concern.

SERVICE:

Before leaving the factory, each and every vital part of the trailer is tested for perfor-
mance. Each test is signed and certified by an inspector. After the trailer arrives on
your dealer's lot all of these vital parts and systems are again tested. When you take
delivery of your new trailer you will receive a complete check out.
At that time a specified list of performance checks on your trailer equipment will be
