Shoreline Power Inlet and Cordset
SmartPlug Inlet
Your Airstream is equipped with a SmartPlug
power inlet located on the roadside exterior� Prior
to establishing a connection, review the SmartPlug
Cordset instructions that follow�
Features of the SmartPlug include:
• Eliminates Overheating - Increased pin & clip surface
area improves conductivity during high demand�
• Ease of Use - The unique plug body shape and
push-in design ensure a proper connection�
• Multi-Point Locking System - Side clips lock the plug
securely into the inlet, eliminating stress on the pins�
• Weatherproof Seals - Multi-fin silicone gaskets
installed in the inlet cover and interior of the plug
body eliminate moisture penetration�
SmartPlug Cordset
Before connecting power to your Airstream, plug the
cordset (power cord) into the power pedestal and
check the cordset's safe/unsafe LED indicator lights�
If the red LED illuminates, do not plug the cordset into
the SmartPlug inlet on your Airstream�
The cordset has a Reverse Polarity Indicator System
with two LED indicator lights, one blue and one red�
Reverse polarity occurs when connecting a cordset to
a power pedestal that has the positive and negative
leads reversed internally� A reverse polarity condition
is unsafe, and it can damage an Airstream's electrical
components�
Safe/Unsafe LED Signals:
•
Blue ON, Red OFF - Normal Power, Safe
•
Blue ON, Red ON - L1 and neutral are swapped in
a reverse polarity condition, Unsafe
•
Blue OFF, Red ON - L1 and ground are swapped in
a dangerous reverse polarity condition, Unsafe
•
Blue OFF, Red OFF - No Power

Many campgrounds provide less than 30 amp service,
and your hookup may blow their fuse or circuit breaker�
If this happens, reduce the load, replace the fuse, or
reset the breaker�
WARNING
A reverse polarity condition is detected if the
cordset's LED illuminates RED when connected
to a power source. If this occurs, do not plug
the cord into your Airstream. Reverse polarity is
an UNSAFE condition that could result in bodily
harm. It can also damage electrical components.
This condition exists when the power pedestal is
improperly wired.
Hitch/Coupler
The EZ-Latch coupler features a simple-to-use latching
mechanism� Hooking up is as easy as dropping the
coupler on to your hitch ball� Simply make sure that the
coupler is properly lined up with the ball, then lower
the coupler� The coupler will automatically open and
latch into place when lowered onto the hitch ball� To
disengage coupler, pull up on latch and raise coupler
off of hitch ball� Return the coupler latch to the latched
position to ensure that coupler is ready to be latched
again� The coupler features a strong composite
handle, If the handle does get damaged or becomes
missing, the coupler is still completely operational
until the handle can be replaced� Replacement parts
can be purchased through your Airstream Dealer� See
additional information included in your owner's packet�
Axle and Running Gear Assembly
Each Dexter Torflex® rubber torsion axle is aligned
during manufacturing, and double-checked on
a random basis� Alignment after delivery is the
customer's responsibility�
Hitting chuck holes or rough railroad tracks while
traveling straight will only cause misalignment after
the tire has struck such objects many times� Of
course, a deep enough hole can affect the alignment
immediately�
The worst culprit is a curb because they are normally
struck at an angle� Rear axles are occasionally
damaged when people are attempting to park beside a
curb while backing up their trailer�
The trailer axle(s) is bent upward in the middle� This
bend is normal and is how the camber is obtained�
Also, toe-in is built into the axle by very slight bends in
the axle tube on each end�
