Exterior

Windows

Clean your touring coach windows the same way you
clean the windows in your home� Clean the seals with
a damp cloth and mild detergent every 3 to 6 months�
Do not 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 touring coach�
Failure to properly clean and lubricate the window
seals could result in the window sticking to the
jamb. Window seals that become stuck to the
window jamb should be released by a qualified
technician trained in the procedure. Do not force,
pry, or apply great pressure to open the window.
Failure to heed this warning may cause the window
to shatter and/or cause personal injury.
For replacement of a damaged window, contact an
Airstream Service Center�

Alcoa Dura Bright Rims

Cleaning Instructions

These rims require no chemicals to clean them� Simply
use a mild soap, water, clean towel, and rinse� Follow
these steps for an easy clean and shine�
1� Rinse the wheel prior to washing with a brush� This
will prevent scratching�
2� Mix a mild detergent and water� Any car wash or
household detergent will work�
3� Using a soft clean brush and soap solution, clean
the rims� (Do not use any abrasive-type brushes or
pads�)
4� After cleaning the surface, rinse thoroughly to
remove all soap so it will not spot� Towel drying will
help this as well�
CAUTION
When using a power washer, maintain a proper
distance from the touring coach. The proper
distance is approximately 2.2 ft. when using a
round jet nozzle, and 1 ft. when using a 25 degree
flat spray jet nozzle. Never point the jet nozzle at
moldings, hoses, electrical components, seals,
plug connections, etc. Never use round jet nozzles
on tires, the pulsating water can damage the sub-
structure of tires.

All units are equipped with an exterior shower� This
shower consists of a shower hose, shower head, and
water valve inside a lockable exterior door� Water is
supplied by the pump or city water hookup� The shower
head/hose assembly is stored inside the rear doors� To
use: insert the hose into the wall inlet, pull back slightly
to verify it is securely connected� Press the spout
button and rotate the faucet handles to the desired
temperature� To remove hose assembly, hold back
the water inlet fitting while simultaneously pulling out
on the hose fitting. Be sure to press the spout button
to relieve any residual pressure before removing the

Shoreline Power Supply

The Power Cord hookup is located on the side of the
touring coach� The cord may be stored in the rear
exterior compartment� The power cord is plugged
into the touring coach receptacle and the City Power
Service�
NOTE
Use only power cords recommended by Airstream.
Many campgrounds provide less than 30-amp service
and your hookup may blow their fuse or circuit breaker�
If this happens, reduce the load and replace the fuse or
reset the breaker�
