Most LPG appliances used in recreational vehicles
are vented to the outside of the vehicle. When
parked close to a gasoline pump, it is possible that
gasoline fumes could enter this type of appliance
and ignite from the burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE
OR AN EXPLOSION.
Air Conditioner
The roof air conditioner used on Airstream trailers
is one of the most popular on the market today� In
your owner's packet is a set of literature covering all
operating and maintenance instructions� If the literature
is misplaced, contact the air conditioner manufacturer
or your Airstream dealer for replacement�
Proper voltage to the air conditioner is critical� A
voltmeter check may find voltage much lower at a
campground shoreline outlet than the needed 110 to
120 volts� Your air conditioner may not function if the
current drops below 105 volts� Low voltage is usually
associated with older or poorly maintained trailer
parks� Parking your trailer so the power cord can be
plugged in to a receptacle close to the fuse or circuit
breaker box can alleviate low voltage problems� Avoid
extension cords and adapters whenever possible� If an
extension cord must be used, it should be as short and
heavy as possible to provide the most current�
If high temperatures are expected, make an effort to
park in a shaded area� Starting the air conditioner
early in the morning also helps. It is more efficient to
hold a comfortable temperature than it is to lower the
temperature after the interior of the trailer is already
hot�
Never run your air conditioner with the vents closed�
Doing so could cause the air conditioner to freeze
and may damage to the unit� The manufacturer
recommends having at least 3 vents open when
running to prevent any chance of freezing up
NOTE
Review the air conditioning literature supplied in
your owner's packet before proceeding.
NOTE
It is recommended that you clean filters Weekly
when A/C is in full use.

WARNING
Exhaust Fans
In the bathrooms round ventilators are used and are
opened by pushing straight up on the crossbar handle
and pressing the red switch to engage the fan motor�
NOTE
The range exhaust cover on the outside of the
trailer has a swinging door that can be latched
during inclement weather and should be latched
while in travel. When operating the exhaust fan, the
latches should be turned so the door swings open
when the fan is on.
High Volume Roof Vent
The high-volume roof vent system is designed to
quickly exhaust stale, hot air and draw in fresh air� It
is great to use when the outside temperature does not
call for air conditioning, but heat has built up in your
trailer�
The core of the system is a powerful rotary fan that
works with a slightly open window to create a balanced
airflow. It is designed for maximum air exchange,
minimum sound levels and power consumption� Fresh,
clean, natural air is pulled in� Hot, stale, stuffy air is
pushed out�
NOTE
Never place Lindeen™ or a like cover over ceiling
fan. Greatly restricted airflow and increased sound
levels will occur.
