  • Page 28 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TIRE CHANGING (cont) When removing a steel wheel rim to change a tire, loosen all wheel nuts approximately flush with end of stud, then tap clamp ring to loosen rim. Do not remove nuts until clamp rings are free or clamp ring may fly off of stud.
  • Page 29 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TIRE ROTATION Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear differently depending on the types of roads driven, your driving habits, etc. To obtain the longest tire life you should INSPECT AND ROTATE your tires regularly. (See Tire Rotation Illustration below).
  • Page 30 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TIRE SUPPORT Since motorhomes may sit for long periods of time it is important to properly support the tires if blocks are used for leveling. The following information is provided by the Michelin Technical Group. Extreme caution must be taken to ensure that the tires are fully supported when using blocks to level motorhomes and/or RV's.
  • Page 31 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS INCORRECT One tire or a portion of one tire is supporting the full load. CAUTION : Tires incorrectly supported, as shown above, may be damaged which could lead to casing failure resulting in serious injury or property damage. If, on previous occasions, the tires have been incorrectly supported, a hidden damage may be present.

Kwik-Lube Spray Grease is specially formulated to lubricate Kwikee Electric Steps and is recommended for lubricating all moving parts.
  • Page 37 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Composite Headlamp Your new Motor Home is equipped with a composite headlamp system. Composite headlamps are designed much differently than the sealed beam units of the ’70-80s; they are a plastic lens and chrome plated reflector assembly designed around a replaceable halogen bulb. Composite lamps produce significantly greater light offering better visibility and safety for the driver.
  • Page 38 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Cleaning is the most effective maintenance that you can perform on your lights, dirt and road grime build up can cut light output by 40% or more. • When cleaning your headlamps, please observe the following: do not rub them dry, and never use abrasives or strong solvents.
  • Page 39 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Replacement of the halogen bulb: • When replacing the halogen bulb do not touch the glass portion of the bulb with your bare hands since even small amounts of impurities burn into the surface and reduce the service life of the bulb. Use a clean cloth, paper napkin, or similar material to hold the bulb during installation.
  • Page 40 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS CAMPING SAFETY As always, safety should be one of your top priorities. Make sure you, and everyone traveling with you, can operate the main door and exit window rapidly without light. Warning: The roadside rear window is designed as an escape window. To escape, pull in on the two red latches at the bottom.
  • Page 41 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS CAUTION : BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS. FLASHING L.E.D. LIGHT: This smoke detector is equipped with a flashing red indicator light. The light is located under the test button and will flash every 30-40 seconds to indicate that the smoke detector is receiving power.
  • Page 42 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS CLEANING YOUR DETECTOR: To clean your detector remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in the beginning of this section. You can clean the interior of your detector (sensing chamber) by using your vacuum cleaner hose and vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the detector.
  • Page 43 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS: • Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don't waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables. • In leaving, don't open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don't open that door! Instead use your alternate exit.
  • Page 44 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS ALARM CONDITION If the COSTAR senses unsafe levels of CO, the RED L.E.D. will light up and the alarm will sound. The alarm condition will be signified by a repetitive alarm-sounding pattern of approximately 4.5 seconds on 1.5 second off.
  • Page 45 The failure of any circuit component will cause the detector to display a continuous orange LED fault light and a short beep indicating failure. If this occurs, immediately contact your dealer or Airstream Customer Service for the name of the nearest detector service center.
  • Page 46 Booklets are available which list these dumping stations. When you stop for the night, your Airstream motorhome can 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. Try to pick as level a parking spot as possible.
  • Page 47 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS WINTER TRAVELING (Cont.) Some states do not allow LPG to be turned on while moving. While traveling in these states you must use your common sense. How cold is it? How long will it be before you can turn the heat back on? Is the temperature dropping or rising? Remember, the wind chill factor when driving 50 MPH will cause the interior of the motorhome to cool much faster than when it is parked.
  • Page 48 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS EXTENDED STAY Making a long trip is not very different from making a weekend excursion. Since everything you need is right at hand, you are at home wherever you go. When packing for an extended trip, take everything you need, but only what you need.
  • Page 49 Unless the water vapor is carried outside by ventilation, or condensed by a dehumidifier, it will condense on the inside of the windows and walls as moisture, or in cold weather as frost or ice. It may also condense out of sight within the walls or the ceiling where it will manifest itself as warped or stained panels.
  • Page 50 For more information of controlling moisture in the RV, please read, “Tips to Controlling Condensation,” located in this manual. *If using a dehumidifier, please read and follow all manufacturer instructions and recommendations to the use and cleaning of the dehumidifier.

  • Page 61 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS BASIC RULES FOR SAFETY Warning: DO NOT store LP containers within vehicle. LP containers are equipped with safety devices that vent gas should the pressure become excessive. Warning: DO NOT use cooking appliances for comfort heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation.
  • Page 62 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS LP TANK INSTALLATION The regulator at the L.P. tank is under a black plastic cover. The protective cover certainly helps to keep the vent on the regulator from getting clogged by wasps or ice, but should still be checked regularly to make sure the vent remains clear.

  • Page 78 Ann Arbor, MI 313-769-6000 The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years. In normal use, when you are hooked up to city water, both pedals are depressed together. This dumps the sewage and fresh water and flushes down the side of the bowl. Water will continue to run into the bowl for a short time after the pedals are released.
  • Page 79 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM: Water keeps running into bowl. CAUSE: The blade in the bottom of the bowl is not closing completely, which in turn keeps the water control valve partially open. The groove into which the blade seats when completely closed is clogged with foreign material.
  • Page 80 AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS MAINTENANCE If the bowl-sealing blade does not operate freely after extended use, it may be restored to its original, smooth operating condition by applying a light film of silicone spray to the blade. To clean the toilet use Thetford Aqua Bowl or any other high grade, non-abrasive cleaner.
