General Information and Operation

Step
To operate the step, lift up on the front of the step and
pull straight out until step locks into place�
CAUTION
Once the steps are lowered, press down on them to
make sure they are secure in their notches. Never
travel with step lowered or extended.

Main Door

The main door of the trailer is manufactured with a
built-in, keyed dead bolt and door lock� The door lock is
engaged from the inside by a lever and the dead bolt is
engaged by turning the knob�
A main door hold-back is mounted on the trailer's
exterior side skin� The hold-back secures the door to
the side of the trailer� When opening the door, push it
gently into the spring-operated slide� To release the
door, slide the hold-back bolt back�
For lubrication and out-of-adjustment issues,
Door Care on page 8-16�
CAUTION
When towing, the door lock and dead bolt must be
secured. If it is not locked, the constant vibration
of travel may cause the door to open resulting in
possible damage.

Screen Door

The screen door is secured to the main door by a slide
bolt-type latch� It can be operated independently by
releasing the slide bolt and swinging the screen door
away from the main door�
CAUTION
Always reattach the screen door to the main door
prior to closing the main door; otherwise, damage

Front End Protection

Window Stone Guards

The tinted solar plexiglass window stone guards on the
front of your Airstream provide added protection from
road debris while traveling and reduce the effects of
sun rays�
Raise the center window guard to allow air to flow
when the window is open� To raise, unhook the
two rubber T-handles on the bottom of the guard,
lift the guard to the desired height, and tighten the
thumbscrews on each support arm� Be sure to lower
and fasten the guard when high winds are approaching
and before travel�
The corner window guards are removable for cleaning�
see Main Airstream recommends removing the corner guards
from the unit when cleaning to avoid damaging the
guards� There are two screws on each corner guard
near the center guard� A quarter-turn will loosen the
screws, and the guards will swing outward on their
hinges� Lift the guards off the hinges to remove them�
Close all window guards before high winds and
storm conditions approach or when towing to
avoid damage to the trailer and window guards that

Shell Protection
