Airstream Travel Trailer International 2023 Winter Traveling User Manual

Winter Traveling

Traveling in sub-freezing temperatures will require certain precautions to protect the plumbing system and your personal belongings from being damaged by freezing.
Whenever possible, the heat should be kept set to a constant temperature. It is easier for the furnace to keep a constant room temperature than allow the trailer temperature to drop to 50°F, and then attempt to raise it to room temperature.
Some states do not allow LPG to be turned on while moving. While traveling in these states, simply 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, when towing at 50 MPH, the wind chill factor will cause the interior of the trailer to cool much faster than a trailer that is parked.

1. When parked in sub-freezing temperatures, make sure to keep a full supply of LPG and plug into an external AC power source whenever possible.
2. If your stay is longer than overnight, you should try to have 120-volt electricity available. Minimize the use of electricity if a 120-volt power source is not available.
3. Leave cabinet doors, wardrobes, and bed doors partially open to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing lines and fixtures. Insulate and/or wrap your exterior water lines with heat tape.

NOTE
Drain and winterize all models if the water systems are not being used during winter traveling. Refer to Section 8 – Maintenance in this manual for winterizing instructions.

Tire size	ST225/75R15
Tire Max cold* inflation pressure (psi)	80
Tire Max load rating (lbs.)	2830

The term cold refers to how long a tire has sat idle. Max cold inflation pressure should be checked in the morning (after sitting idle for at least three hours) before driving more than a few miles, or before rising ambient temperatures and the sun’s radiant heat can affect tire pressure.

The UBW and NCC weights listed in the Specification Chart are for the base unit with LP and batteries included.
Gross Vehicular Weight Rating (GVWR) is the maximum permissible weight of this trailer when fully loaded. It includes all weight at the trailer axle(s) and coupler.
Unit Base Weight (UBW) is the dry weight of the base unit without options.
Net Carrying Capacity (NCC) is equal to GVWR minus UBW. Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) is the value specified as the load carrying capacity of a single axle system, as measured at the tire-ground interfaces.

Specification Tags
For precise cargo capacity, refer to the Cargo-Carrying Capacity tag on the inside of the screen door. The WEIGHT OF CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED numbers shown on the tag, which is the maximum weight of cargo you can load and carry in your specific trailer as built with its options.
Located on the front roadside of your trailer are the Tire and Loading, and Vehicle Manufacturing tags.
The Tire and Loading information tag lists the Size and Cold Inflation Pressure of the tires on your vehicle, the weight of your trailer as manufactured, and the GVWR.
The Vehicle Manufacturing tag lists the Size of tires and wheel rims, Maximum Cold Inflation pressures, the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), and GAWR.

Measuring Hitch Ball Height
The proper height will vary according to the weight you carry and the tires you use. However, checking the height on your trailer is relatively easy:

1. With trailer parked on fairly level ground, measure from ground to bottom of frame, front and rear.
2. Adjust front jack until measurements are equal.
3. Now, measure from ground to the inside top of ball coupler. This figure is the hitch height. The hitch ball is then usually set 1/2 to 1 in. higher, according to the spring rate of your tow vehicle, to allow for it to settle when the trailer is hitched up.
