Air Conditioner

The roof A/C used on Airstream Touring Coach's
are one of the most popular on the market today� In
your owner's packet is a set of literature covering all
operating and maintenance instructions� If the literature
is misplaced, contact the A/C manufacturer or your
Airstream dealer for replacement�
Proper voltage to the A/C is critical� A volt meter
check may find voltage much lower at a campground
shoreline outlet than the needed 110 to 120 volts�
Your A/C may not function if the current drops below
105 volts� Low voltage is usually associated with
older or poorly maintained motorhome parks� Many
motorhome's, built only 20 or 30 years ago, may
not have air conditioners capable of operating on
some receptacles� Parking your touring coach so the
power cord can be plugged in to a receptacle close
to the fuse or circuit breaker box can alleviate low
voltage problems� Avoid extension cords and adapters
whenever possible� If an extension cord must be used,
it should be rated at 30 amps and as short as possible
to provide the most current�
If high temperatures are expected, make an effort
to park in a shaded area� Starting the A/C early in
the morning also helps. It is more efficient to hold
a comfortable temperature than it is to lower the
temperature after the interior of the touring coach is
already hot�
NOTE
Review the air conditioning literature supplied in
your owner's packet before proceeding.

has been well known in the motorhome industry for
many years� The furnace burns LP gas, and is powered
by 12-volt current from the batteries or power converter
when plugged in to city power� Operating instructions
are located in your owner's packet� If they should
become misplaced, new literature can be ordered
directly from the manufacturer or your Airstream dealer�
The manufacturer also offers a detailed service guide
for your furnace�
The reset button, depending on model, is located on
the furnace behind the access panel or behind the
panel next to the furnace� Remove the panel to gain
access�
Carefully read all the manufacturer's instructions
prior to operating. NEVER store flammable material
