  • Page 19: Chassis

    CHASSIS The Airstream motorhome is built on a chassis designed for motorhomes. Operation of the engine and other related components is discussed in the Chassis Owners and Drivers Manual supplied with each coach. If repairs are needed it can be difficult to determine which parts are the chassis, and which are Airstream's responsibility.

  • Page 20: Dash/Air Conditioner/Heater

    This service locater assistance can be especially helpful if you are traveling and an Airstream dealer is unavailable or a considerable distance away.
  • Page 21 Your chassis Owner’s Manual contains important cautions and information on tires and should be reviewed and followed for your safety. The tires installed on your Airstream motorhome are engineered to provide a proper balance of performance characteristics for normal vehicle operation.
  • Page 22 1000 miles during a trip for any signs of wear or possible failure. Please contact your dealer or Airstream Customer Service if you have any questions on the use of this equipment.
  • Page 23 CHASSIS TIRE CHANGING (cont) When removing a steel wheel rim to change a tire, loosen all wheel nuts approximately flush with end of stud, then tap clamp ring to loosen rim. Do not remove nuts until clamp rings are free or clamp ring may fly off of stud.
  • Page 24 CHASSIS 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. (See Tire Rotation Illustration below). Many automotive dealers and tire dealers will perform a free tire inspection to look for uneven or abnormal tire wear.
  • Page 25 CHASSIS TIRE SUPPORT Since motorhomes may sit for long periods of time it is important to properly support the tires if blocks are used for leveling. The following information is provided by the Michelin Technical Group. Extreme caution must be taken to ensure that the tires are fully supported when using blocks to level motorhomes and/or RV's.
  • Page 26 CHASSIS INCORRECT One tire or a portion of one tire is supporting the full load. Portion of two tires are supporting the full load. 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 previous occasions, the tires have been incorrectly supported, a hidden damage may be present.
  • Page 27 CHASSIS TIRE INFLATION INFORMATION Warning: Your vehicle is equipped with a tire that is an all-steel radial. All- steel radial tires utilize steel cords in the sidewalls, and also require increased inflation pressures. Has such, they cannot be treated like normal light truck tires. Personnel trained, supervised and equipped according to Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations must perform tire service, including adjusting tire pressure.

  • Page 31: Camping

    CAMPING SAFETY As always, safety should be one of your top priorities. Make sure you, and everyone traveling with you, can operate the main door and exit window rapidly without light. Warning: The roadside rear window is designed as an escape window. To escape, pull in on the two red latches at the bottom.
  • Page 32 CAMPING 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 indicator 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 33 CAMPING CLEANING YOUR DETECTOR: To clean your detector remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in the beginning 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. The outside of the detector can be wiped with a damp cloth.
  • Page 34 CAMPING 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 35 CAMPING ALARM CONDITION If the COSTAR senses unsafe levels of CO, the RED L.E.D. will light up and the alarm will sound. The alarm condition will be signified by a repetitive alarm-sounding pattern of approximately 4.5 seconds on 1.5 second off. Immediate evacuation is required. Pushing the test button will silence the alarm once for approximately 4 minutes.
  • Page 36 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 detector service center.

  • Page 37: Overnight Stop

    Booklets are available which list these dumping stations. When you stop for the night, your Airstream motorhome can be safely parked in any spot that is relatively level and where the ground is firm. Your facilities are with you. You are self- contained. Try to pick as level a parking spot as possible.
  • Page 38 CAMPING WINTER TRAVELING (Cont.) Some states do not allow LPG to be turned on while moving. While traveling in these states you must use your common sense. How cold is it? How long will it be before you can turn the heat back on? Is the temperature dropping or rising? Remember, the wind chill factor when driving 50 MPH will cause the interior of the motorhome to cool much faster than when it is parked.

  • Page 39: Extended Stay

    CAMPING EXTENDED STAY Making a long trip is not very different from making a weekend excursion. Since everything you need is right at hand, you are at home wherever you go. When packing for an extended trip, take everything you need, but only what you need. Some models are equipped with Hydraulic Leveling Jacks that can be deployed.
  • Page 40 CAMPING EFFECTS OF PROLONGED OCCUPANCY Your motorhome was designed primarily for recreational use and short-term occupancy. 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 moisture saturation of the air contained in the motorhome and the appearance of visible moisture, especially in cold weather.
  • Page 41 CAMPING TIPS TO CONTROLLING CONDENSATION (continued) The natural tendency would be to close the vehicle tightly during cold weather. This will actually compound the problem. Simply put, you need to remove some of the warm air, and allow some cool outside air to get inside the vehicle, so the furnace will not recycle the humid interior air.
  • Page 42 CAMPING SLIDE OUT OPERATION The slide out room on the Land Yacht Low Profile models is designed for easy deployment. A momentary switch located on the microwave cabinet operates the room. To extend or retract the room, push and release the switch. The room will slide into position and stop automatically. It is not necessary, and could be harmful to hold the switch down during room operation.

  • Page 43: Exterior

    EXTERIOR The sidewalls and roof of your Airstream Land Yacht motorhome are laminated fiberglass with a gel coat exterior finish. No paint means the small mars and scratches can be polished out or repaired using gel coat. We recommend this be done professionally since excessive polishing can remove the gel coat.
  • Page 44 EXTERIOR Occasionally you might find the latch catch, item 3 in the diagram below, out of time. This simply means it has been bumped and has flipped to the closed position when the door is still open. To re-time, hold the door handle in the open position, then pull out and down on the latch catch.
  • Page 45 EXTERIOR KEYLESS DOOR LOCK Operation The dead bolt portion of your motorhome may be controlled by radio signals produced by the key fob shown below. One characteristic of this system is the one second delay after a pad has been depressed.

  • Page 46: Roof Ladder

    EXTERIOR ROOF LADDER Lifting up on the bottom section of the ladder will release the hinge and allow the ladder to be pivoted down to use position. The ladder a two pins that inserted snuggly into the nylon sockets. To store, pop the ladder bottom out of the nylon sockets and fold the ladder upward at its hinge, as it nears vertical, the slot in the hinge will fall into a locked position and hold the ladder up.

    Replace any regulator that has had water in the spring case, or shows evidence of external corrosion, or corrosion inside the spring case. Closely examine regulators directly connected to the container valve by means of a solid POL adapter (horizontal mounting) for signs of corrosion. (An Airstream Service Center is recommended for this service.)
  • Page 52 PLUMBING BASIC RULES FOR SAFETY Warning: DO NOT store LP containers within vehicle. LP containers are equipped with safety devices that vent gas should the pressure become excessive. Warning: DO NOT use cooking appliances for comfort heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan and open window.
  • Page 53 PLUMBING LP TANK The regulator at the L.P. tank is under a black plastic cover. The protective cover certainly helps to keep the vent on the regulator from getting clogged by wasps or ice, but should still be checked regularly to make sure the vent remains clear.
