Campground Setup - Airstream A-Series 2006 Owner's Manual

LONGER TRIP
On a longer trip, when you have stayed where sewer connections and utility hookups
were not available, it will be necessary for you to stop from time to time to dispose of
the waste in the holding tank and replenish the water supply. Many gas stations (chain
and individually owned) have installed sanitary dumping stations for just this purpose.
Booklets are available which list these dumping stations.
When you stop for the night, your Airstream motorhome is built to be safely parked in
any spot that is relatively level and where the ground is firm. Your facilities are with you.
You are self- contained. Try to pick as level a parking spot as possible.
All you need to do to enjoy self-contained luxury is to:
1. Hook up to a shoreline power source..
2. Turn on the water pump and open the faucets until the air is expelled from
the system.
3. Level the motorhome and deploy the slide outs.
Before moving on, turn off the water pump, make sure all hookups have been discon-
nected, check you campsite, both for cleanliness and also to be sure you haven't left
anything behind. Make sure everything is properly stowed.
EXRENDED STAY
Making a long trip is not very different from making a weekend excursion. Since every-
thing you need is right at hand, you are at home wherever you go. When packing for
an extended trip, take everything you need, but only what you need. Some models are
equipped with Hydraulic Leveling Jacks that can be deployed. Complete instructions
are included with the Owners Packet. Be sure to read the directions completely prior
to operating the jacks.
When you plan to stay in the same place for several days, weeks or months, you will
want your motorhome to be as level as possible. Check the attitude with a small spirit
level set on the inside work counter. If a correction is necessary, then you must first
level from side to side. This can be done most easily by driving up a small ramp con-
sisting of 2" x 6" boards tapered at both ends. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND PLACING
TIRES IN A HOLE FOR LEVELING.

CAMPGROUND SETUP

Hook Up to Water by attaching a ½" minimum high-pressure water hose to the city
water service located on the utility panel in the lower compartment.
The 110-volt power cord is an electrically operated cord reel in the first compartment
located behind the roadside rear wheels. Turning the switch to "out" will extend the
power cord so it can be plugged into City Power Service.
When you stay for extended periods where electric or water hookups are not avail-
able, you must make regular checks on the condition of your 12-volt battery and the
contents of your water tank. Carry drinking water in a clean bucket to refill your tank.
When your waste tank nears capacity, move your motorhome to a dumping location.
WARNING
: If adapters are required make sure the polarity is correct
and the "ground" function is not lost.
