These include such things a heavy-duty alternator and radiator, heavy-duty springs, (See Note:) shock absorbers, transmission cooler, heavy-duty fan and flasher unit and others, depending upon the make of the vehicle.
  • Page 17 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Disc Brakes The disc brake system is a proven system that includes a ventilated rotor that fits over the hub, combined with a caliper and mounting bracket that attach to the axle end assembly by bolting to the standard brake flange.
  • Page 18 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Actibrake Disc Brake Actuator System ActiBrake is part of a trailer braking system. ActiBrake is a state-of-the-art trailer brake actuator. ActiBrake is the fastest responding, most advanced electric-hydraulic pump actuator available. Brake Controllers Your trailer braking system is like a chain. It is only as good as its weakest link. This is especially true regarding tow vehicle brake controllers.
  • Page 19 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER General Operation Coupling When coupling the trailer to the towing vehicle, always ensure the two vehicles are properly coupled, including the safety chains and breakaway switch cable, in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions and trailer manufacturer’s instructions. All coupling devices and procedures must conform to State and Federal regulations.
  • Page 20 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Which Tow vehicle Controller Is Best? The ActiBrake will operate in conjunction with any state-of-the-art tow vehicle brake controller. A controller that obtains its signal directly from the towing vehicle's braking system is preferred. A high quality inertia based controller using accelerometer technology is second preference. Third preference is a high quality inertia based controller using a pendulum to sense deceleration.
  • Page 21 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Replacement Parts The internal components of the ActiBrake unit are not intended for field service. The unit is sealed at the factory to prevent tampering with the internal components. The ActiBrake warranty will be voided if the seal is broken.
  • Page 22 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Brake Fluid Contamination The ActiBrake reservoir is sealed to prevent contamination of the fluid during normal operation. Should the fluid in the reservoir become contaminated, the ActiBrake and brake system should be flushed. This procedure should ONLY be performed by a qualified mechanic or technician. After the system has been flushed, the reservoir must be re-filled with new "DOT 3"...

    LOADING Below is a sample of the weight information chart provided in all Airstream vehicles. This information can be found in your vehicle on the back of the first wardrobe door on the curbside of the vehicle about 60" up from the floor.
  • Page 24 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Place the trailer on a scale with both axles only on the scale (see 2). If the weight on the axles exceeds the axle system G.A.W.R. then some of the personal cargo must be redistributed forward in order to place some of this weight on the tongue.
  • Page 25 Your hitch installer should provide your hitch rating information to you. Sway Control Device Although Airstream has not intruded into the hitch manufacturers field of expertise and preformed formal testing, we find the vast majority of Airstream owners purchases sway-control devices.
  • Page 26 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER The hitch ball should be level to slightly higher. Readjust leveling bars until this condition is correct by increasing or decreasing the length the chain engaged in “A” frame saddle bracket (Figure 5). Short chain raises hitch ball, longer chain lowers it. A level condition will result in the best balance for towing and steering control as the weight-equalizing hitch distributes the hitch load.
  • Page 27 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Note: If you're tow vehicle is equipped with adjustable load leveling air shocks, you must load the tow vehicle first with typical luggage and passengers and bring it back to level. Then attach the trailer and adjust the load leveling bars.

  • Page 28: Towing Tips

    AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER TOWING TIPS We want every owner to be a safe and courteous driver. A few hours of towing practice in a large empty supermarket lot will make pulling your trailer over the road much easier. Line out two corners for left and right turns.
  • Page 29 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Passing WARNING : Never open a radiator cap when the tow vehicle is hot. Check the coolant level when the vehicle is cool. When going downhill in dry weather, down shift so that engine compression will slow the whole rig clown.
  • Page 30 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Backing Up In BACKING UP the important thing to remember is to DO EVERYTHING SLOWLY and to correct immediately if you see the trailer turning the wrong way. Concentrate on the rear of the trailer. With your tow vehicle and trailer in a straight line, back up slowly and turn the bottom of the steering wheel in the direction you want the trailer to go.

  • Page 40: Winter Traveling

    AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER WINTER TRAVELING Traveling in sub-freezing temperatures will require certain precautions to protect the plumbing system and your personal belongings from being damaged by freezing. Whenever possible the heat should be kept on at a constant temperature. It is easier for the furnace to keep a constant room temperature than for the trailer temperature to be allowed to drop to 50 degrees Fahrenheit then attempt to raise it to room temperature.

  • Page 41: Effects Of Prolonged Occupancy

It can be operated independently by releasing the slide bolt and swinging the screen door away from the main door.
  • Page 45 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER Chassis The standard RECOMMENDED HITCH BALL HEIGHT for your Airstream is 18 ¾” on all models except the slide outs which are 19.75”. If you plan long trips with the trailer heavily loaded you should check your trailer, after loading, to determine the optimum height. To check, park the trailer on a level surface and crank the front jack up or down until the measurement from the frame to the ground is the same front and rear.

  • Page 46: Power Jack

    AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER POWER JACK A switch located on the bottom of the housing operates the power jack. When the jack is fully extended or retracted internal limit switches automatically shut off the motor. Another switch operated the convenience light.
  • Page 47 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER TIRES Your trailer is equipped at the factory with name brand trailer tires. Airstream dealers cannot make adjustments to tires. A dealer who handles that particular brand must do this. If you ever have tire problems check the local telephone directory for the nearest dealer.

  • Page 53 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER HOW ELECTRIC BRAKES WORK The electric brakes on your trailer are similar to the drum brakes on your tow vehicle. The basic difference is that your automotive brakes are actuated by hydraulic pressure while your electric trailer brakes are actuated by an electromagnet.
  • Page 54 AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER HOW TO USE YOUR EL ECTRIC BRAKES PROPERLY Your trailer brakes are designed to work in synchronization with your tow vehicle brakes. Never use your tow vehicle or trailer brakes alone to stop the combined load. Your trailer and tow vehicle will seldom have the right amperage flow to the brake magnets to give you comfortable, safe braking unless you make proper brake system adjustments.

  • Page 55: Shoes And Linings

    AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER BRAKE CLEANING, INSPECTION AND LUBRICATION Your trailer brakes must be inspected and serviced at yearly intervals or more often as use and performance requires. Magnets and shoes must be changed when they become worn or scored thereby preventing dequate vehicle braking.
