AIRSTREAM INTERNATIONAL TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL
Main Door
CAUTION:
When towing, the door lock and deadbolt must be secured. If they are 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. Foe easier
access to the interior main door handle, remember to leave the screen door plastic closeout in the open
position when closing the main door.
Step
To operate the step, lift up and pull the step towards you, then lower the step down into position.
WARNING:
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
WARNING:
section under Safety in this manual.
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, stowed and travel locks engaged. Awnings should be extended
at an angle to encourage the run off of rain. Awning damage such as a bent tube, torn canvas, or broken
arms due to high winds or water standing on the canvas are not covered by warranty. Use the center support
bar if your patio awning is so equipped.
Caution
:
Travel locks on all awnings should be engaged before traveling.
Once the step is lowered, press down on it to make sure it is secure.
