Window Operation
The Extension Step is permanently attached
to the main step and when needed it is simply
flipped out. Never travel with step lowered.
Your Airstream has a new High Strength
Safety Glass Front Window that is stronger
than car windshields. Inside this window is a
second window of tough acrylic plastic. The
combination represents a great improvement
in safety and convenience as it eliminates the
need for a rock guard and also acts as a
thermo pane for better temperature control.
The windows in your trailer are of tempered
safety plate 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 frames. To lock the windows,
reverse this procedure.
These windows
are
cleaned in the same
manner that ordinary windows are. 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 Airstream. For replacement of a dam¬
aged window contact an Airstream Service
Center or the factory.
The thermo pane side windows include metal-
ized mylar tint. With the thermo pane, storm
windows will not be required for winter
operation, and will improve the efficiency of
the air conditioning system. This also elimin¬
ates the need to remove the screens in order
to install storm windows.
Screens are made of plastic for hard wear and
easy maintenance. Clean with a damp cloth.
Note: They will melt at the point of contact
if touched by a cigarette.
Vistaview Windows, an exclusive Airstream
feature, allow for interior lighting while main¬
taining privacy and are equipped with integral
shades.
Factory recommended awnings give shade
during trips and rallies. They are easy to
operate and can be installed by your dealer.
The aluminum construction of your trailer
creates a radio-shield and you will need
outside antennas for perfect reception.
A police-type telescoping whip Radio Anten¬
na for 12 V AM-FM transistor radios is
installed next to the front window roadside of
your trailer on a swivel mount.
Motorized TV Antenna: The controls are
located on the curbside wall just above the
arm rest. To raise the antenna, depress the up
button and hold it in place until the red light
goes off. The antenna is now ready for
rotating to the desired position. Press the top
of the rotating button and rotate the antenna
until you get the best possible TV picture. If
you go too far, press the lower portion of the
rotating button and the antenna will move in
the opposite direction. To stow the antenna,
press the bottom of the rotating button and
allow the antenna to rotate until the red light
goes off. The antenna is now ready for
lowering so press the "lower" button and
hold it until the red light goes off again. You
are now ready for travel.
