ExTERIOR
The exterior includes plated medallions. Use mild soap and water on a soft
cotton cloth to clean. The finish is soft metal and will scratch, If that does not
work, use a mild metal polish such as PEAK METAL POLISH applying lightly
with a clean soft cotton cloth.
It is recommended that the caulking and sealant used in external seams and
D
joints such as end shell segments and around window frames, light bezels,
beltline and rub rail molding, etc. be checked regularly. If this material has dried
out and become cracked or checked, or if a portion has fallen out, it should
be replaced with fresh material to prevent possible rain leaks. Caulking and
sealing material is available from your Airstream dealer.
Precautions should be taken to prevent excessive sealant from getting on
the coated surfaces. Remove excessive sealant before it cures using DX 330
Acryli-Clean made by PPG Industries as explained above.
nOTiCE
: It may be possible for solvents other than those recommended
to extract materials from sealants that could stain the coated surface or
could prove harmful to the sealants; therefore, these possible effects must
be considered. Test a small area first.

door lock. The door lock in engaged from the inside by a lever and the dead

the door to the side of the trailer. When opening the door, push it gently into the
spring operated slide. To release the door, slide the hold back bolt back.
A little grease in the striker pockets and slight amount of household oil in the

sparingly and remove any excess from exterior akin immediately.
