1. Where can I find my trailer serial number?
Answer: A label is attached on the roadside sheet
at the front side sheet seam. This label will also
provide the inflation pressure of the tires and
GVWR. The serial number of the trailer is also
stamped on the street side of the A frame by the
LPG tanks.
2. Awning suggestions:
Your Zip Dee awning is intended to provide
shade. Your awning can be used in light rain
conditions if front or rear is tilted to let water run
off. Light winds should not affect awning use. If
you are leaving your trailer for long periods or
in threatening weather, the awning should be
retracted. Visit the Zip Dee website for more
information and instructional videos.
3. Cleaning the exterior of my Airstream.
Suggestions:
Airstream recommends washing the trailer using a
mild auto detergent safe for clear coated surfaces.
Airstream also recommends waxing a minimum of
twice a year. Walbernize Superseal is a product
that was designed specifically for Airstream and
provides good wax protection.
4. Can I use a nylon cover for my Airstream?
Answer: Airstream does not recommend using
any type of cover. The installation and movement
of the cover in windy conditions could scratch the
clearcoat�
5. What type of attachments can I install on
the rear of my Airstream?
Answer: Airstream only recommends the
installation of a Fiamma bike rack (Airstream part
number: 209397) on the rear of trailers.

6. My main door is hard to open, is this
normal?
Answer: Your main door is designed differently
than a flat surface door. The door is over bent
in order to apply more pressure at the top and
bottom of door for better sealing. Also, on uneven
surfaces, the trailer can be in a slight twist that
could affect closing. Make sure trailer is as level
as possible.
7. What is a rubber torsion axle?
Answer: Your trailer has Dexter rubber torsion
axles. This type axle has internal rubber cords
that provide load carrying capacity verses leaf
spring type axles.Reminder - never jack up trailer
using rubber torsion axle tubes!
8. My windows are sticking and don't open
easily; what is wrong?
Answer: Your windows have rubber seals around
the edges which in extreme heat and dusty
conditions can become sticky. You can help
prevent this by regularly cleaning window seals
with soapy water and applying a silicone product
or Aerospace Protectant 303 to the seals.
9. The mattress in my Airstream is an odd
shape, where can I buy sheets?
Answer: Airstream has a selection of sheets
that can be purchased by calling (937) 596-6111
extension 7400 or 7418. Or visit our website at
www.airstream.com.
