AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL
Main Door
CAUTION
: When towing, the door lock must be secured. If it is not locked, the constant vibration of
travel may cause the door to open with possible damage.
Screen Door
The screen door secures to the main door by means of a slide bolt type latch. It can be operated
independently by releasing the slide bolt and swinging the screen door away from the main door.
Step
To operate the step, lift up on the latch bar and the step will drop down.
WARNING
: Once the steps are lowered, press down on them to make sure they are
secure in their notches.
CAUTION
: Never travel with step lowered or extended
Exterior Windows
The windows in your trailer are safety glass. To open: release the two lever locks at the bottom, lift up on
the two side operator handles until the window is in the desired position, and place the operators into one of
the three positioning slots on the side of the frame. To lock the windows reverse this position
Note: Some windows are designed as an emergency escape exits. The rubber Spline holding the screen in
place is looped so it can be pulled out in one swift motion.
You and all your family should practice escape procedures so they can be rapidly accomplished even in
total darkness.
WARNING
: Never park your trailer so the escape windows cannot be easily used for
emergency exits.
Clean your trailer windows the same way you clean the windows in your home. Clean the seals with a
damp cloth or mild detergent every three to six months, taking care not to 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 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.
Note: They will melt at the point of contact if touched by a cigarette.
Awnings
Complete instructions have been provided with your awning. You should make sure your traveling
companion is familiar with the operation of the awning. If a sudden wind should come up, or if high wind
is forecast, the awning should be retracted and stowed.
