General Information and Cleaning

The interior of all Airstream trailers has been designed for comfort, convenience, durability, and appearance. How you use it and how you take care of it, naturally, depends on you. However, if you learn to operate
the interior components and take care of them and the trailer properly, this knowledge will add to your pleasure, as well as the long life of your trailer. All material should be professionally dry cleaned to remove any overall soiled condition.

Upholstery
Upholstery-Cleaning Code S. All materials should be professionally dry cleaned to remove any overall soiled condition. Spot clean, using a mild, water-free solvent or dry cleaning product. DO NOT SATURATE THE FABRIC. Carefully follow instructions on such product. Clean only in a well-ventilated room. Avoid any product containing carbon tetrachloride, which is highly toxic. Pretest small area before proceeding. Use professional furniture cleaner when an overall soiled condition is reached.

Ultra Leather
Clean Ultra leather fabrics with standard products used for that purpose. Follow the instructions on the cleaning product container.

NOTE
Never remove cushion covers for separate dry cleaning or washing. Any tumble cleaning method can destroy the backing, and/or shrink or otherwise damage upholstery fabric.

WARNING
Keep your furniture and family safe from fires caused by careless smoking. Do not smoke when drowsy. Remove immediately any glowing ash
or a lighted cigarette that falls onto furniture. Smoldering smoking material can cause upholstered furniture fires.
Interior Aluminum Skin
Interior aluminum skin can be cleaned by washing skin with any mild non-abrasive soap or detergent. Cleaning should be followed by a thorough clean water rinse. Drying the unit with a chamois or a soft cloth may prevent spots and streaks. Do not use abrasive cleaners or utensils on the aluminum skin as it is coated with a clear coat that could be damaged.

NOTE
All drapery materials and mattress covers must be professionally dry-cleaned.
Remove the draperies by unsnapping them from the wall, removing a screw or pop rivet from the end of the curtain track, and sliding them out. The pop rivets are removed by drilling through the head with a 1/8-in. drill bit.

Vinyl Covering
Damp-wiping with mild detergent will suffice for routine cleaning. The use of any automotive cleaners designed for vinyl car seats and dashes can provide a more thorough cleaning.

Interior Woodwork
The finish on the interior woodwork is a high-quality furniture finish and should be treated as any fine furniture finish. Use a high-quality furniture cleaner which does NOT contain ammonia or bleach. The finish should also be cleaned with something that will not dry out the finish. One good choice is Murphy Oil Soap Clean and Shine.

Counter Area
The countertops are made of Corian and can be cleaned with soap and water, or you can use a common solvent on tough spots. Do not use abrasive cleaners since they could scratch the surface. A protective pad should always be used under hot utensils or pans. Sanding minor damaged areas can repair Corian counters. The color of the material is constant and not just a surface coat.

Sinks
Cleaning can be accomplished using a mild liquid detergent on a soft cloth. A complete homeowner’s guide for your sinks is supplied in your owner’s packet. Please read these instructions before use.

Vinyl Flooring
General Cleaning
Use a soft broom to sweep the floor. A vacuum cleaner may damage the flooring, especially the type that use beater bars. In most cases, a clean damp cloth or mop will suffice to clean dirty flooring. When necessary, a solution of mild detergent or domestic floor cleaning emulsion can be used to clean the flooring. Do not use a wire brush or nylon scouring pads, furniture polish, spirit-based polish, powder or liquid abrasive cleaners, bleach, or other strong detergents. Scuffs, dirt, and spillages should be cleaned up as soon as possible.

Polishing the Flooring
Cushioned floors that have an additional protective coating such as Beauflor Premium Protect, Multi Protect and Ultragrip, do not normally require polish. Other floors (Bartoli/Lioni) will require polishing to protect the floor’s surface from staining agents and give a surface shine. For these, apply a liquid emulsion floor polish immediately after installation and thereafter at 6 to 12 monthly intervals as required. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using a floor polish or cleaner and ensure it is suitable for use with cushioned vinyl flooring.

Shower Stall
To clean your fiberglass shower stall unit, use warm water and one of the stronger liquid detergents. Do not use abrasive cleaners as they may scratch and dull the surface of your unit. Stubborn stains can be removed with solvents such as turpentine, paint thinner, or acetone. Restore dulled areas by rubbing with an automotive-type liquid cleaner, then, put the soft glow back into your unit with a light application of liquid wax.

CAUTION
Applying wax to the base of the shower floor is not recommended, as this could create an unsafe surface.

Telephone Shower Head
The telephone shower head is designed to give maximum flexibility in usage, and provides for water-saving techniques when using your trailer on self-containment. It can be held in the hand and moved about the body. Normally, the best water conservation procedure is to wet the entire body and then turn the water off. Apply soap, lather thoroughly, and then rinse the soap off. The telephone shower head is also used to fill the tub portion of the shower pan. When you have finished using the shower, make sure to shut the water off at the faucet.

Retractable Clothesline
A retractable clothesline and line hook is installed for your convenience in the shower stall of the trailer.

Lounge
On certain models, the sofa converts to a bed. Lift up the front of the seat and pull out. Below the bed is a large, upholstered, horizontal door that is opened by pulling straight out and hinging down. This exposes large plastic trays. This is a great place to store heavy items since it is low to the floor and in the front of the trailer.

Dinette

The dinette is made into a bed by raising up the front of the table and folding the table leg up against the bottom of the table. The leg is hinged at the front edge of the table and is held against the bottom of the table with Velcro. Once the hinged leg is attached, there is a middle pedestal leg that supports the table. The middle support has two clamps that need to be unfastened before you can push the table down toward the floor. Push the table down until it stops just flush with the cushions. Now you need the cushions that go on the tabletop to complete the bed; these cushions are stored under the armrests of the recliner sofa. Under each armrest, there are covers attached to the front of the sofa that need to be removed. Pull off the front-facing covers and pull the cushions out and lay them on the tabletop, side by side. The cushions will rest slightly higher on the tabletop than the seat cushions.

Safe
Your Airstream trailer is equipped with a safe. The safe is located in the wardrobe floor.

Exhaust Fans
The Classic trailers are equipped with Fantastic roof vents in the living area. (See page 5-20 for more information.)
In the bathrooms, Ventline Roof Vent with power lift are used and are opened by pushing straight up on the crossbar handle. The round switch can then be turned to engage the fan motor.

Ceiling Light/Directional Lighting
The ceiling light fixture has a push button switch located on the fixture. Gently squeezing the lens in the middle and pulling down will remove the lens. During cold weather, it is a good idea to leave the light on a few minutes prior to removing the lens. The bed and lounge area has individually switched directional lighting.
A wall switch just inside the door controls ceiling, step, and patio lights. The individual ceiling lights must be on for the wall switch to work.

Storage Tips
Kitchen cabinets should have the heaviest items stored on the bottom and lighter items overhead. After loading, put skillets and canned goods on the floor or bottom shelf, and cereals and crackers in the overhead roof locker. Use unbreakable-type plates and saucers, and consider storing your dish towels around them.
Clothes hung in wardrobes should be kept on hangers that snap over the clothes rods to keep them from bouncing off on rough roads. Evening dresses should be kept in plastic bags similar to those dry cleaning businesses use. Dust will work its way into the trailer and soil clothes. Try to avoid large bulky coats. Layers of lighter clothing will usually keep you warmer, are more versatile, and are easier to store.
