To lower bunk:
1. Release straps,
2. Rotate bolster filler into latched position.
3. Lower bolster down against wall.
Make beds in the usual way, using fitted
sheets % bed size. The space beneath the
cushion is ideal for storing bedding for both
front travel lounges and side pull-out beds,
an easy method of storing bedding is to re¬
move and store pillows then fold back the
ends of the bedding neatly to expose
about 2" of the mattress; then starting from
the edge furthest from you, roll up the bed¬
ding as tightly as possible towards you.
Raise the front of the cushion and store the
rolled bedding in the space below.
To make fixed twin beds, lift mattress slight¬
ly, pull it away from the wall and then tuck
bedding along wall.
Note: Please do not
launder mattress ticking; it has to be dry
cleaned to prevent shrinkage.
To open the table,
lift the table into a hori¬
zontal position, (See Fig. 1) depress latch
and pull the folding leg down until it locks
in position. (See Fig. 2) To extend the table
pull out on the latch underneath the table
right next to the leg and lift the table and
leg slightly off the floor. Now pull the exten¬
sion frame and leg out as far as they will
go. Release the catch on the extension
table leaf and rotate it over onto the ex¬
tended frame. (See Fig. 3.) By raising the
leg the entire table can be slid forward and
aft for your seating comfort.
To stow simply reverse the procedure and
unlock the leg and drop the table to the
wall. Additional storage is provided behind
the table compartment.
The
Central Control Panel,
located in the
galley roof locker of your unit, contains the
necessary instrumentation to monitor your
Airstream's systems.
The
panel light
switch lights the gauges.
The
battery condition tester
has a switch
which operates a meter indicating: good,
fair and low condition, (This meter does not
indicate true battery state of charge while
you are hooked-up to 120 volt city power.
For this reason you should briefly discon¬
nect city power, turn one light on in low
position for about 30 seconds and then
make this check.) When it shows low condi¬
tion, you should take every reasonable step
to conserve power by using as few lights
as possible and switching off appliances.
The battery should be charged as soon as
practical and with the tow vehicle charging
system or connection to 120 volt power.
The
ammeter
indicates whether the
trailer battery is being charged. The
charging system in your trailer is much
like the charging system in your car. The
univolt package performs a similar
function to the car alternator by
constantly recharging your battery as
power is used. If the total current draw is
greater than the univolt's capacity to
recharge, your ammeter will indicate a
discharge. In this case, reduce the power
usage until the ammeter once again
