Maintenance
For additional winterizing protection, add a non-toxic
antifreeze (approved for drinking water system) to the
water lines using the following procedure:
1 Reconnect all lines, except the hose, to the pump
inlet port. Close all drain valves.
2 Turn water heater bypass valve to bypass position.
Refer to Water Heater Bypass Valve illustration.
3 Replace the galley faucet filter with the bypass pipe
(refer to Galley Faucet Filter in the Interior section).
Store filter in a warm place.
4 Attach a length of hose to the pump inlet port. This
piece of hose should be long enough for the free
end to be inserted into and reach the bottom of the
antifreeze container.
5 Dilute the antifreeze solution in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
6 Open all water faucets.
7 Insert hose length into the antifreeze container,
turn the pump switch on, and run the water pump
until the antifreeze solution fills all water lines.
Flush toilet. Work hand shower spray while holding
down in tub.
8 Shut off the pump and close all faucets.
9 Disconnect the hose length from pump inlet fitting
and reconnect water system inlet line.

Water Heater And Bypass Valve Locations

The water heater and bypass valve are located under
the lavatory sink and can be accessed by the lower
cabinet door, or by the exterior compartment door.

Main Door Care

Lubrication

Apply a little paraffin or grease to the striker pockets
and a slight amount of household oil to the lock
mechanisms to keep the locks operating smoothly.
Also, lubricate the hinge pins periodically with
household oil. Use the lubricant sparingly and
immediately remove any excess from exterior skin.

Adjustment

Main door adjustment can be affected by:
• The trailer being improperly leveled (causing twisting
of trailer body/shell).*
• Striker bolt alignment being out of adjustment, (striker
bolt is adjustable).
• Screen door being out of adjustment, resulting in a
situation of the door rubbing the frame, or not closing
flush (which will create pressure on the door).
• Main door has come open at some point, introducing
a change to the contour of the door frame (check for
sheared rivets on interior skin of door).
* When using the stabilizers (for eliminating movement-
not leveling) on your Airstream, be sure to check
the fit of your main door before and after extending
stabilizers. The fit of the main door can be affected if
trailer is not level side to side and front to back.
