Appliances
1. I am planning for a trip in my Nest. How should
I get the refrigerator cooled down?
Answer: Cooling time will vary with exterior
temperatures and time of day. Start by pre-cooling
your refrigerator at least 12 hours prior to loading your
refrigerator. Always pre-cool food in your refrigerator
or freezer to reduce cooling time. Do not pack food too
tight in compartment as to prevent circulation around
food items. Normal refrigerator operating temperatures
are 34ºF to 40ºF.
2. My air conditioner freezes up. What is the
problem?
Answer: In high humidity conditions, the AC
manufacturer recommends you operate your AC
(manual mode) on the high fan setting and all vents
should be open to have maximum air flow over the
coils; this helps reduce icing. Also, dirty air conditioner
filters can restrict air flow and cause the AC to ice up.
Maintenance
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 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 awning manufacturers website
for more information and instructional videos.
3. Cleaning the exterior of my Nest.
Suggestions: Airstream recommends washing the
trailer using a mild auto detergent safe for clear coated
surfaces. Airstream recommends washing based on
operating conditions and waxing a minimum of twice a
year.

4. Can I use a nylon cover for my Nest?
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. 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.
6. What should I use to clean the wall fabric on
the interior of my Nest?
Answer: For dried on dirt, we recommend a very
soft brush, followed by mild soap and water. Do not
oversaturate with water. Let dry completely.
7. How do I clean my drapes and upholstery?
Answer: Drapes may be dry-cleaned. Upholstery may
be spot-cleaned. We recommend dry cleaning as the
best overall cleaning solution.
8. 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!
9. 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. Clean edge of glass also.
10. The mattress in my Nest is an odd shape,
where can I buy sheets?
Answer: Airstream has a selection of sheets for your
Nest and can be purchased by calling (937) 596-6111
extension 7400 or 7418. You can also access our
website at www.airstream.com and click on store.
