OVERNIGHT STOP
Airstream
owners
have
parked
virtually
every place
imagin¬
able
from
filling
stations
to
farm
lands.
In
time
you will
develop
a
knack
for
spotting
wonderful
little
roadside
locations
by
turning
off
the
main highway
and
exploring«
There
are many
modern
trailer
parks
including
State,
County
and Federal
parks
with
good
facilities,
where
you may
obtain
hookups
of
electrical,
water
and
sewer
connections.
Directories
are
published which
describe
in
detail
the s e
parks
and
tell what
is
available
in
the way
of
services
and hookups,
ON
OVERNIGHT
OR WEEKEND
TRIPS,
chances
are
you will
not use
up
the
capacity
of
the
sewage
hold¬
ing
tank,
deplete
the
water
supply
or
run
down
the
battery
which
supplies
the
12
volt
current.
ON A
LONGER TRIP,
When you have
stayed where
sewer
connections
and utility hook-ups
were
not
avai1able ,
it will
be
necessary
for you
to
stop
from
time
to
time
to
dispose
of
the
waste
in
the
holding
tank
and replenish
the water
supply.
Many
gas
stations
(chain
and
individually
owned)
have
installed
SANITARY
DUMPING
STATIONS
for
just
this
purpose.
Booklets
are
avail¬
able
which
list
these
dumping
stations.
When
stopping
for
the
night
your
Air s t r e am
is
built
to be
safely
parked
in
any
spot
that
is
relatively
level
and where
the
ground
is
firm,
YOUR FACILITIES
ARE
WITH YOU,
YOU
ARE
SELF-
CONTAINED,
Unless
the
car
is
needed
for
transportation ,
it
is
not necessary
to unhitch.
Try
to pick
as
level
a parking
spot
as
possible,
STABILIZING
JACKS
OR BLOCKS
probably
won^t
be
required
for
an
overnight
stay;
however,
if
you put the
jack
pad
on
the
hitch
jack
and
run
the
hitch
jack
down
to
take
the
weight
off
the
car*s
springs
this
will
provide
some
stability.
If
you must
park
on
a
slope ,
PARK FACING
DOWNHILL,
It
is
easier
to
level
the
trailer
this
way ,
All
you need
to
do
to
enjoy
the
self-contained
luxury
of
your
ai rs tre am
is
to :
1.
Light
the water heater
and
refrigerator
pilots
if
required.
2.
Turn
on
the
range
gas
supply
and
light
the
pilot
if
so
equipped.
Before moving
on,
check
your
c amp site,
both
for
cleanliness
and
also
to
be
sure
you
haven't
left
anyting
behind.
Turn
off
the
gas
supply
and make
sure
everything
is
properly
stowed.
Use
your
PRE-TRAVEL
CHECK LIST
and you
are
ready
for more
travel
adventure.
