vehicle or entering a refueling station.

Maintenance

Follow the instructions and warnings noted in the
respective appliance and equipment owner's manuals,
as well as those mentioned below�
Annual maintenance should be conducted on propane
gas appliances and equipment by an authorized dealer
or repair facility�
Insects can build nests in the burners of various
appliances and equipment. The burner and burner
orifice of the propane gas appliances and equipment
should be cleaned by an authorized dealer or repair
facility any time circumstances or conditions warrant,
but no less than on an annual basis�
DANGER
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 A/C used on Airstream's Classic trailers
has the lowest profile of any A/C on the market
today. Coupled with an industry exclusive fiberglass
basepan this lower profile and lighter weight means
less drag and improved fuel efficiency. In your owner's
packet is a set of literature covering all operating and
maintenance instructions� If the literature is misplaced,
contact the A/C 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� 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�

Air Conditioner Filters

The exterior sponge filter can be gently washed with
soap and water as needed� The white pleated Merv 8
filter must be replaced. Replacement times will vary
greatly depending on how often the air conditioner is
used. With frequent use, the filter may last 3-4 months.
With infrequent use, it may be possible to replace the
filter annually. Contact your dealer or Airstream directly
to obtain a replacement� For Airstream part numbers, ,
see Replacement Filters on page 8-5�
WARNING
Review the air conditioning literature supplied in
your owner's packet before proceeding.
