  • Page 19: Trailer Towing And Driving Tips

    Follow the guidelines below carefully to assure safe trailer operation. Ask your authorized sprinter or Airstream dealer if you require an explanation of informa- tion contained in the sky.
  • Page 20 Vehicles should be properly equipped for towing trailers. Information on trailer hauling capabilities and special equipment required may be obtained from your Airstream dealer. Loading a Trailer When loading a trailer, you should observe that neither the permissible GTW, nor the GVWR are exceeded.
  • Page 21 Please consider us- ing a trailer sway control system. For further information, see your authorized Sprinter or Airstream dealer. Towing a Trailer There are many different laws, including speed limit restrictions, having to do with trailer towing.
  • Page 22 DRIVING If the trailer has electric brakes, start your vehicle and trailer moving slowly, and then ap- ply only the trailer brake controller by hand to be sure the brakes are working properly. When towing a trailer, check occasionally to be sure that the load is secure, and that lighting and trailer brakes (if so equipped) are functioning properly.
  • Page 23 Tracking On a two-lane road cars will be lining up behind you because you travel at a lower speed. It is both courte- ous and sensible to signal, pull onto the shoulder, and let them pass. The BRAKE CONTROLLER (if so equipped) is activated when you apply the brakes of the tow vehicle.
  • Page 24 DRIVING briefly applying the trailer brakes with your manual control will help eliminate sway. WARNING : When stopping on a hill or slope, leaving your tow vehicle in gear is not enough for standstill safety. CHOCK THE TRAILER WHEELS to he double sure.

  • Page 25: Towing Your Motorhome

    DRIVING TOWING YOUR MOTORHOME The most common equipment is called “reach under hooks”.

  • Page 30: Proper Tire Inflation

    SPRINTER VAN PROPER TIRE INFLATION The level of air in your tires affects your vehicle’s overall performance. Not even the highest quality tire will perform well if it’s not inflated properly. The correct pressure varies from vehicle to vehicle and depends in part upon driver preference. Each vehicle has a recommended inflation pressure, usually found on a placard on the door section, door post, glove door, or fuel door.
  • Page 31 TIRES and WHEELS (partially excerpted from the Sprinter Van Operator’s Manual) Check tires regularly for even tread wear; tread depth (note legal requirements) and signs of external damage. Use only wheels and tires of the same size, make and pattern. Do not install tires that are not approved for the size and type of wheel installed on the vehicle itself.
  • Page 32 SPRINTER VAN Changing the Tire (partially excerpted from the Sprinter Van Operator’s Manual) If you get a flat tire while driving, gradually decrease your speed. Hold the steering wheel firmly and slowly move to a safe place on the side of the road. The pressure of the spare wheel always has to be checked regularly (at least after every tenth time at the filling station).

  • Page 33: Using The Jack

    Changing the Tire (continued) WARNING : do not change wheels on either a steep uphill or downhill grade. The vehicle may begin to move and fall from the jack, which could cause personal injury and property damage. SPARE WHEEL LOCATION The spare tire on the Mid Bath models is located as explained in the Dodge Sprinter Manual.

  • Page 34: Installing A Wheel

    SPRINTER VAN INSTALLING A WHEEL WARNING : different wheel bolts are required for pressed steel and light alloy wheels. Using incorrect wheel lug bolts for the wheels may result in dam- age to the vehicle or loosening of the wheels. This could cause an accident and personal injury.

  • Page 35: Tire Rotation

    TIRE ROTATION Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear differently depending on the types of roads driven, your driving habits, etc. To obtain the longest tire life you should INSPECT AND ROTATE your tires regularly. Many automotive dealers and tire dealers will perform a free tire inspection to look for uneven or abnormal tire wear.
  • Page 36 SPRINTER VAN TIRE SUPPORT Since motorhomes may sit for long periods it is important to properly support the tires if blocks are used for leveling. Extreme caution must be taken to ensure that the tires are fully supported when us- ing blocks to level motorhomes and/or RV’s.
  • Page 37 INCORRECT One tire or a portion of one tire is supporting the full load. Duals SPRINTER VAN Portion of two tires are supporting the full load. Singles CAUTION : Tires incorrectly supported, as shown above, may be damaged which could lead to casing failure resulting in serious injury or property damage. If, on previ- ous occasions, the tires have been incorrectly supported, a hidden damage may be present.

  • Page 38: Smoke Alarm

    CAMPING SAFETY Emergency Exit There are three avenues of escape from the motorhome in the event of an emergency, the driver’s and passenger doors, and the side cargo door. As always, safety should be one of your top priorities. Make sure you, and everyone traveling with you, can operate these doors and exit rapidly without light.

  • Page 39: Maintenance

    CAUTION : BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS. FLASHING L.E.D. LIGHT: This smoke detector is equipped with a flashing red indica- tor light. The light is located under the test button and will flash every 30-40 seconds to indicate that the smoke detector is receiving power.

  • Page 40: Good Safety Habits

    CAMPING CLEANING YOUR DETECTOR: To clean your detector remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in the begin- ning of this section. You can clean the interior of your detector (sensing chamber) by using your vacuum cleaner hose and vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the detector.

  • Page 41: What To Do When The Alarm Sounds

    WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS: • Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don't waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables. • In leaving, don't open any inside door without first feeling its surface. If hot, or if you see smoke seeping through cracks, don't open that door! Instead use your alternate exit.

  • Page 42: What Is Carbon Monoxide

    CAMPING THIS CARBON MONOXIDE ALARM IS NOT Designed to detect smoke, fire or any gas other than carbon monoxide. To be seen as a substitute for the proper servicing of fuel-burning appliances. To be used on an intermittent basis, or as a portable alarm for spillage of combustion products from fuel-burning appliances.

  • Page 43: Symptoms Of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

    The following conditions can result in potentially dangerous CO situations. 1. Excessive spillage or reverse venting of fuel burning appliances caused by outdoor conditions, such as: Wind direction and/or velocity: including high gusts of wind. Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with extended periods between cycles). Negative pressure differential resulting from sue of exhaust fans.

  • Page 44: Operation

    The failure of any circuit component will cause the detector to display a continuous orange LED fault light and a short beep indicating failure. If this occurs, immediately contact your dealer or Airstream Customer Service for the name of the nearest detec- tor service center.

  • Page 46: Effects Of Prolonged Occupancy

    CAMPING EFFECTS OF PROLONGED OCCUPANCY Your motorhome was designed primarily for recreational use and short-term occu- pancy. If you expect to occupy the motorhome for an extended period, be prepared to deal with condensation and the humid conditions that may be encountered. The relatively small volume and tight compact construction of modern recreation vehicles mean that the normal living activities of even a few occupants will lead to rapid mois- ture saturation of the air contained in the trailer and the appearance of visible moisture,...

  • Page 47: About Molds

    ABOUT MOLDS What are molds? Molds are microscopic organisms that naturally occur in virtually every environment, indoors and out. Outdoors, mold growth is important in the decomposition of plants. Indoors, mold growth is unfavorable. Left unchecked, molds break down natural ma- terials, such as wood products and fabrics.
  • Page 48 CAMPING 1. You must have a plentiful supply of propane gas as the heat from the furnace warms the motorhome and keeps the fresh water lines and tank from freezing. 2. If your stay is longer than overnight, you should endeavor to have 120-volt elec- tricity available.

  • Page 70: Troubleshooting

    Ann Arbor, MI 48103 313-769-6000 The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years. In normal use, when you are hooked up to city water, both pedals are depressed together. This dumps the sewage and flushes fresh water down the side of the bowl. Water will continue to run into the bowl for a short time after the pedals are released.

  • Page 71: Maintenance

    PROBLEM: Foot pedal operates harder than normal or the blade sticks. REMEDY: a. Apply a light film of Silicone spray to blade. b. Check closet bolt tightness. If closet bolts are over tightened, the mechanism may be distorted. PROBLEM: Bowl will not hold water; i.e., water leaks from bowl down into the holding tank.

  • Page 72: Storage And Winterizing

    Twice a year, or after a long storage period, we suggest you take your unit into your Airstream dealer for a check-up and cleaning of the gas operated appliances. The main consideration in winterizing is to guard against freezing damage to the hot and cold water systems, the waste drain system (including the traps), the waste hold- ing tanks, the water heater and the battery.
  • Page 73 STORAGE AND WINTERIZING (continued) For additional winterizing protection, add non-toxic antifreeze (approved for drinking water systems) to your water lines using the following procedure: 1. Reconnect all lines except the hose to the pump inlet port. Close all drain valves (See Step 3) *2.

  • Page 74: Drain And Waste System

    PLUMBING DRAIN AND WASTE SYSTEM The drain and waste system of your motorhome includes either a combina- tion gray/black waste holding tank (Rear Bath) or separate grey and Black tanks (Mid Bath) made from molded plastic. The tanks enables you to use the toilet, sink, and wet bath drain for several days away from disposal facilities.
  • Page 75 PLUMBING Drain Systems Cleaning There are many deodorizers on the market in tablet, liquid, and powder form. These not only combat odor, but also stimulate the bacteria that works to dissolve the solids in your tank. Picking a deodorizer with lubricating qualities will help ease the slide valve operation.

  • Page 76: Electrical Systems

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS 12-VOLT SYSTEM The major portion of electrical power in your Airstream is 12-volt. The 12-volt current powers just about every thing except for the air conditioner and microwave oven. The refrigerator’s electronic energy selection is also powered by 12 volt.

  • Page 77: Power Circuits

    12V POWER CIRCUITS The current in the converter system is 12 volts direct current (12VDC) negative grounded. Power sources that supply 12VDC current to the system are House Battery and Converter. These power sources above are electrically connected to the 12-volt distribution fuse panel that distributes current to interior branch circuits.

  • Page 78: Converter Cooling System

    ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS CONVERTER COOLING SYSTEM The 7300 electronic fan cooling system is the key to long life and trouble-free opera- tion. The fan is never on more than required to cool electronic components in the converter. You may never hear the fan operate. Converter The converter transforms 120-volt alternating current (AC) into 12-volt direct current (DC).
  • Page 79 12-Volt Operation The only thing you have to do is make sure the house battery does not run down. In normal usage, there isn’t any problem, since you would normally be plugged into a 110 volt shoreline at night or when camping. When you’re plugged into city power or running the generator, with the battery disconnect turned to “USE”, the con- verter charges the battery and carries much of the load.
