Airstream Travel Trailer Bambi 2021 User Manual

INTRODUCTION

The Owner’s Manual for your new Airstream trailer is designed to respond to the most frequent inquiries regarding the operation, function, and care of the many systems that make modern trailering a joy.
Airstream realizes our customers possess varying degrees of expertise in the area of maintaining and repairing the appliances in their trailer. For this reason, the service information found in this manual is directed toward those with average mechanical skills.
We also realize that you may be more familiar with one area than you are with another. Only you know your capabilities and limitations. We want you to use this manual and hope you will find the information contained in it useful. However, should you ever feel that you may be in need of assistance, please consult your Airstream dealer for advice on service that may be required.
A brief explanation of the operation of the appliances such as refrigerator, furnace, water heater, and others, are explained in this manual. However, you will also find the manufacturer’s information, supplied in a packet included with this manual, to be more detailed.
All information, illustrations, and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication approval. If and when new materials and production techniques are developed that can improve the quality of its product, or material substitutions are necessary due to availability, Airstream reserves the right to make such changes.

CAUTION

A caution is used to advise caution when performing actions that could result in minor or moderate injury to persons and/or damage to equipment.

NOTE
A note is used to address practices not related to personal injury. This applies to hazardous situations involving property damage only.
Optional items may be available on all, or particular models. Additionally, some optional items can only be included during the manufacturing phase and cannot later be added to the trailer.
The inclusion of optional items information in this manual does not imply or suggest the availability, application, suitability, or inclusion for any specific unit.

Safety

Safety Precautions
Many things can be construed as safety related, but the most important is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material, or any other hazardous material, you surely realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased.
You will find many safety recommendations in this section and throughout the manual. The following recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Transporting of Passengers
The transporting of people in the trailer puts their lives at risk and may be illegal. The trailer does not have seat belts, therefore, it is not designed to carry passengers.
Towing and Weight Distribution
Weight distribution is an important factor when loading your travel trailer. A recreational vehicle with the cargo distributed properly will result in efficient, trouble-free towing. Refer to Section 7 – Towing for more information.

Controlling Sway
Sway or fishtailing is the sideways action of a trailer caused by external forces. Excessive sway of your trailer can lead to the rollover of the trailer and tow vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death. Refer to Section 7 – Towing for more information.

Lug Nut Torquing
Making sure wheel mounting nuts (lug nuts) on trailer wheels are tight and properly torqued is an important responsibility that trailer owners and users need to understand and practice. Inadequate and/or inappropriate wheel nut torque (tightness) is a major cause of lug nuts loosening in service. Loose lug nuts can rapidly lead to a wheel separation resulting in potentially serious safety consequences. See torque pattern in Section 8 – Maintenance for tightening sequence, and follow torque specifications in Section 4 – Floor Plans and Specifications.

Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Refer to Section 8 – Maintenance for tire care and safety information. Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety Manual Addendum included with your owner’s packet.

Appliances and Equipment
The appliances and equipment (stove, hot water heater, furnace, etc.) typically can be operated on LP gas. LP gas is flammable and is contained under high pressure. Improper use may result in a fire and/or explosion. Make sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual as well as those in the specific owner’s manuals of the appliances and equipment.

Mold
Mold and mold spores exist throughout indoor and outdoor environments. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment, however, the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. Refer to Section 3 – General Information for information on controlling condensation and molds.

Chemical Sensitivity and Ventilation

Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the purchase of your new recreational vehicle, and sometimes after it has been closed up for an extended period of time, you may notice a strong odor and/or experience a chemical sensitivity. This is not a defect in your recreational vehicle. Like your home, there are many different products used in the construction of recreational vehicles, such as carpet, linoleum, plywood, insulation, upholstery, etc. Formaldehyde is also the by-product of combustion and numerous household products, such as some paints, coatings, and cosmetics. However, recreational vehicles are much smaller than your home and therefore, the exchange of air inside a recreational vehicle is significantly less than in a home. These products, when new or when exposed to elevated temperatures and/or humidity, may off-gas different chemicals, including formaldehyde. This off-gassing, in combination with the minimal air exchange, may cause you to experience irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat and sometimes headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems, may be more susceptible to the effects of off-gassing.

Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance and is an important chemical used widely by industries to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present inside the trailer and some individuals may be sensitive to it. Ventilation of the unit normally reduces the exposure to a comfortable level.
Trace levels of formaldehyde are released from smoking, cooking, and use of soaps and detergents, such as carpet shampoos, cosmetics, and many other household products. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde while others may not have any reaction to the same levels of formaldehyde. Amounts released decrease over time.
Your Airstream trailer was manufactured using low formaldehyde-emitting (LFE) wood products, use of which is typical in the recreation vehicle industry. Formaldehyde has an important role in the adhesives used to bind wood products used in recreation vehicles. The wood products in your trailer are designed to emit formaldehyde at or lower than industry guidelines and should not produce symptoms in most individuals.
While LFE wood products typically do not emit formaldehyde at a level that would cause symptoms in most individuals, it is possible, though not likely, for that to occur when the trailer is not properly ventilated. Ventilation is an essential requirement for trailer use, for many reasons. Any effects of formaldehyde can be greatly reduced by actions such as opening windows, opening roof vents, running the air conditioner, or some combination thereof. In addition, the emission of formaldehyde by these products naturally decreases rapidly over time.
Airstream strongly suggests you take measures to properly ventilate your trailer on a regular basis. If you have any questions with respect to proper ventilation of your trailer, please do not hesitate to contact your Airstream dealer.

Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing, it is of utmost importance that you ventilate your recreational vehicle. Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember, off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity.

2014 Airstream Touring Coach Owner’s Manual

The 2014 Airstream Touring Coach is a very popular class B motorhome that offers travelers unmatched comfort and flexibility. This Touring Coach is the perfect mix of style and excitement, thanks to its sleek silver exterior and careful attention to detail. When you walk in, you’ll be met by a large, well-appointed living space with beautiful furniture, modern appliances, and high-end finishes. From the well-designed bathroom to the fully-stocked kitchen to the comfortable bed area, every part of this motorhome is made with comfort and convenience in mind. Built on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter frame, the Touring Coach is easy to drive and uses little gas. This makes it great for both long trips and weekend trips. The 2014 Airstream Touring Coach is a great example of how much Airstream cares about making trips memorable. It has a great mix of style, usefulness, and dependability.

DRAIN AND WASTE SYSTEM

Your trailers drain and waste system includes waste-holding tanks made from molded plastic, free from corrosion problems, with trouble-free dump valves.
The MAIN HOLDING TANK enables you to use the toilet for several days away from disposal facilities. The wastewater from the sink, shower, bath and lavatory drains into the AUXILIARY HOLDING TANK. Each tank has its own dump valve, however, both tanks drain through a common outlet. Therefore, you need to make only one connection when hooking up in a trailer park with sewer facilities. The valves are labeled at the handles. 2014 Airstream Touring Coach fig-1

NOTICE: Never put wet-strength paper towels or tissues in your holding tank since they won’t dissolve and can “catch” in the mechanism of the dump valve. Colored toilet tissue is slower to dissolve than white. Most RV accessory stores offer tissue designed for RVs that will completely dissolve.

Check your monitor panel frequently. When the BLACK WATER HOLDING TANK is completely full, sewage cannot be emptied from the toilet bowl. If the GRAY WATER HOLDING TANK is overfilled, drain water will “backup” into the tub and cause an unpleasant cleaning job. Never drain the tanks at any place other than an approved dumping station.

Emptying Tanks
Almost all campgrounds will have dumping facilities. Park directories such as Woodalls and Rand McNally also list dumping stations.
To empty one or both tanks attach the sewer hose by pressing the bayonet fitting onto the dump valve outlet and rotate clockwise until it feels solid and secure. Attach the outlet end of the hose to the sewage outlet; making sure that the hose is placed so it will drain completely.
Pull the dump valve handle as far as it will go and wait until the tank is drained. When dumping, the main holding tank should be dumped first; then the auxiliary holding tank. This will help to rinse out the sewer line with auxiliary holding tank water.
The main holding tank must be flushed out until all paper and waste material is removed. Close the dump valve and refill the tank with clean water and repeat until clean. Replace the cap prior to traveling.
The main and auxiliary tanks are heated by ducting from the furnace. Be sure to follow winterizing instructions for the tanks immediately in freezing temperatures if heat is not being supplied to the trailer.

Black Tank Flush
Inside the underbelly utility compartment is a water hose connector for the “black tank flush”. To use, hook up a hose and turn it on full force. Within the tank a head with multiple holes will spray the interior surface of the tank. A vacuum breaker and one-way valve is located inside the trailer above the exterior connection to prevent the black water from escaping to the hose connection. In most models, this will place them under the lavatory.
The gate valve should be closed for the first couple of minutes and then opened to let the water out in a rush. Close the gate valve and repeat as needed.

When Parked and Connected to Sewer Outlet
When you are in a park and connected to a sewer outlet keep the main holding tank dump valve closed, and empty the tank every few days or whenever it becomes almost full. ONLY BY SENDING A LARGE VOLUME OF LIQUID THROUGH THE MAIN HOLDING TANK AT A TIME WILL TOILET PAPER AND OTHER SOLIDS COMPLETELY WASH AWAY.
This practice will avoid the accumulation of solids in the main holding tank, which could lead to an unpleasant cleaning job. Should solids accumulate, close the dump valve; fill the tank about half full with water, then tow the trailer for a few miles. The turbulence and surging of the water will usually dissolve the solids into suspension so the tank can be drained. Keep the auxiliary tank valve open when connected to a sewer outlet. Draining the tanks as described will protect them from freezing during storage or when traveling in winter conditions. When traveling in sub-freezing temperatures and using the drain system use a winterizing solution designed for RV use. Follow the directions on the container.
All products should be marked approved for ABS drainage systems.

Drain Systems Cleaning
The only cleaning agents that can be used without causing harm to the system are household ammonia and tri-sodium phosphate in small quantities. Do not use any product that contains any portion of petroleum distillates. This attacks the rubber seats of your toilet and dump valve. Also, do not use any dish detergent or abrasive cleaners.
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.

TOILET
The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years. There are two pedals. The large pedal opens and closes the slide mechanism, and the smaller pedal opens and closes a water valve.
In normal use, when you are hooked up to city water, both pedals are depressed together. This dumps the sewage and fresh water and flushes down the side of the bowl. Water will continue to run into the bowl for a short time after the pedals are released.
When you wish to conserve water hold the hand-spray head over the bowl and hold down the thumb-operated lever. Now when you depress the pedal all the water is routed through the hand spray.
NOTICE: When you dump the bowl of the toilet make sure all paper and solids have cleared the slide mechanism before you allow it to close. Failure to do so can cause the groove for the slide to become jammed and the slide will no longer close completely.
If the problem should occur a small nail or bent clothes hanger can be used to “pick” the material out of the groove.
Please see the toilet owner’s/user manual for warranty and user tips, and maintenance.

12-VOLT SYSTEM
The major portion of electrical power in your Airstream is 12-volt. The 12-volt current powers the fans, furnaces, water pump, and water heater ignition. The exception would be the air conditioner and microwave oven. All 12-volt current comes through the battery system in the front of your trailer. The battery or batteries are accessible on the front “A” frame of your trailer. Power from the battery first goes to a manual master or “kill” switch inside the trailer.
The manual kill switch, 12-volt distribution panel, and converter are located under the front sofa on most models. Open the drawer under the sofa seat and look on the roadside of the storage area. The kill switch and distribution panel are mounted on a hinged panel that lowers to access the converter. On trailers without a front sofa the 12-volt distribution panel and the kill switch is located under the computer table. The converter is located on the roadside front wall and can be accessed by removing cabinet drawers. The master switch should be left in the ON position except when storing, or a mechanic may use the switch when servicing the trailer.

12-VOLT EXTERIOR

7-Way Harness and Plug
The diagram on this page matches the tow vehicle plug on an Airstream trailer. The 7-way wire is spliced to the main harness on the interior front wall of the trailer. The connection is accessed behind the furniture in the front of the trailer. One of these wires is not spliced onto a wire of the same color. It is the back up wire that is yellow in the cable and black in the harness.2014 Airstream Touring Coach fig-2

12-VOLT INTERIOR

Distribution Panel, USA
The kill switch, 12-volt distribution panel, and converter are located under the front sofa on most rear bed models. Open the drawer under the sofa seat and look on the roadside of the storage area. The kill switch and distribution panel are mounted on a hinged panel that lowers to access the converter. On trailers without a front sofa the 12-volt distribution panel and the kill switch is located under the computer table. The converter is located on the roadside front wall and can be accessed by removing cabinet drawers.
On front bed models the electronic kill switch is located on the galley by the main door. The converter is located on the front of the pantry cabinet. The 12-volt distribution panel and 110-volt beakers are accessed by opening the converter‘s brown decorative door. Manual reset breakers protect all 12-volt circuits. If a breaker trips, an audible click may be heard, and the 12-volt power supply to certain systems will be cut off. The protruding reset button can help identify the questionable breaker.
Reset the breaker by depressing the small rectangular button on the end of the breaker. If the breaker trips a second time, try shutting off an item on that circuit. If the breaker continues to trip the system affected should be checked by a qualified service center.

OVERNIGHT STOP-EXTENDED STAY

Airstream owners have parked virtually every placing imaginable from filling stations to farmlands. In time you’ll develop a knack for spying wonderful little roadside locations by turning off the main highway and exploring. There are many modern parks including State, County and Federal parks with good facilities where you might obtain hookups of electrical, water and sewer connections. Directories are published which described in detail these parks and tell what is available in the way of services and hookups.
On overnight or weekend trips chances are you will not use up the capacity of the sewage holding tank, deplete the water supply, or rundown the battery which supplies the 12 volt current.
On a longer trip, when you have stayed where sewer connections and utility hookups were not available, it will be necessary for you to stop from time to time to dispose of the waste in the holding tank and replenish the water supply. Many gas stations (chain and individually owned) have installed sanitary dumping stations for just this purpose. Booklets are available that lists these dumping stations.
When stopping for the night, your Airstream is built to be safely parked in any spot that is relatively level and where the ground his firm. Your facilities are with you. You are self-contained. Unless the tow vehicle is needed for transportation, it is not necessary to unhitch.
All you need to do to enjoy the self-contained luxury of your Airstream is to turn on the LP gas and light any appliances with pilots.
Before moving on, check your campsite both for cleanliness and also to be sure you haven’t left anything behind. Turn off the gas supply and make sure everything is properly stowed. Use your PRE-TRAVEL CHECK LIST and you are ready for more travel adventures.
Making a long trip in your Airstream 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.

WARNING: Do not park in a manner that would prevent the escape windows from opening.
Try to pick as level a parking spot as possible. Stabilizing jacks or blocks probably won’t be required for an overnight stay. However, if you put the jack pad on the hitch jack and run the hitch jack down to take the weight off the cars springs it will provide some stability. If you must park on a slope, PARK

FACING DOWNHILL. It is easier to level the trailer this way.
NOTICE: Your trailer is not designed, nor intended, for permanent housing. Use of this product for long-term or permanent occupancy may lead to premature deterioration of structure, interior finishes, fabrics, carpeting, and drapes. Damage or deterioration due to long-term occupancy may not be considered normal, and may under the terms of the warranty constitute misuse, abuse, or normal wear.

Leveling and Stabilizing
When you plan to stay in the same place for several days, weeks or months, you will want your trailer to be as level and steady as possible. Check the attitude with a small spirit level set on the inside work counter or the trailer hitch “A-Frame”. (See Diagram Below) If a correction is necessary then YOU MUST LEVEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE FIRST This can he done easily by backing the trailer up one or more 2” x 6” boards. (See Diagram) We do not recommend placing tires in a hole for leveling.
LEVEL FROM FRONT TO REAR by disconnecting the hitch from the tow vehicle, putting the jack pad under the hitch jack and adjusting the jack up or down until you are level. Block or chock the wheels to keep the trailer from rolling. Use STABILIZING JACKS at all four corners as shown in the diagram to eliminate the natural spring action of the axles. 2014 Airstream Travel Trailer fig-1

NOTICE: Optional STABILIZING JACKS, whether manual or power, should only be used to stabilize trailer.

WARNING: Whenever the trailer must be lifted with a jack, as when changing a tire or leveling on very rough terrain, ALWAYS PLACE THE LIFTING JACK UNDER THE MAIN FRAME RAIL. A label is provided to indicate the proper position for the jack. NEVER USE STABILIZING JACKS TO LIFT THE TRAILER.

HOOKUPS
HOOK UP TO CITY WATER by attaching a minimum 1/2” high-pressure water hose to the city water service.
The 110-volt shoreline cord is stored in the rear storage compartment. Remove the cord and plug the trailer end into the receptacle on the side of the trailer.
The other end of the shoreline is plugged into City Pow-er Service.

Hook your WATER DRAIN HOSE in the SEWER DISPOSAL FACILITY and at-tach to the drain outlet in your trailer.
Turn on gas supply. Light the range and oven pilots. Turn on the water heater, refrigerator and furnace.
When you stay for an extended period where electric or water hookups are not available, you must make regular checks on the condition of your 12-volt battery.
Hooking up the tow vehicle/trailer electrical connector and running the tow vehicle engine at a fast idle. 45 minutes per day should provide about 3-4 hours of power. Carry drinking water in a clean bucket to refill your tank. When your waste tank nears capacity move to a dumping location.

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 2015 Airstream Travel Trailer fig-1

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.2015 Airstream Travel Trailer fig-2

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.

Specifications
Specification Chart

2016 Airstream Travel Trailer fig-2

The Unit Base Weight (UBW) and Net Carrying Capacity (NCC) weights listed in the Specification Chart are for the base unit with no options and fluids.
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 tongue or pin.
UBW is the dry weight of the base unit without options.
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.

  2. Adjust front jack until the 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.

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 hanging 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.

Power Dinette Table
The power dinette is made into a bed by pressing the electric switch on the wall, which lowers the table in position to be the base of the bed. 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. Each armrest has a cover attached to the front of the sofa that needs 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. 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.

2017 Airstream Travel Trailer Owner’s Manual

The 2017 Airstream Travel Trailer is a classic and well-known recreational vehicle that blends the charm of the past with the comfort and usefulness of the present. The Airstream Travel Trailer gets noticed everywhere it goes because of its unique silver metal shell. Inside, the trailer is well-designed and roomy, with smart storage solutions, comfy sleeping areas, and a functional kitchen and bathroom. The Airstream Travel Trailer is built to survive the wear and tear of travel. It is made of strong materials and is designed to be as aerodynamic as possible. The 2017 Airstream Travel Trailer offers a unique and nostalgic camping experience that continues to attract outdoor fans and people who love to travel.

Tow Vehicle

When buying a new vehicle to tow your trailer, we suggest including towing options offered by most tow vehicle manufacturers. These include such things as a heavy-duty alternator and radiator, heavy-duty springs and shock absorbers, transmission cooler, heavy-duty fan and flasher unit, etc., for the make of the vehicle.

WARNING
Springs that are too stiff can hinder the action of the weight-equalizing hitch and prevent the transfer of weight to the front of the vehicle.

NOTE
Only use springs heavy enough to support your loaded vehicle (not including the trailer). Having a too harsh spring rate on your tow vehicle will only shorten the life of the tow vehicle and trailer, and will cause your trips to be less enjoyable.
Transmissions may be manual or automatic, but an automatic transmission may prolong your tow vehicle’s life and generally does a better job of controlling engine loads than does the average driver using a manual shift.
Having adequate power is very important when considering the purchase of a new vehicle or the trailer-towing capability of your present one. Auto dealers are provided with guidelines to use when helping a customer decide on a tow vehicle. Guidelines are not determined solely by the power output of the engine. The gear ratio of the differential is also a very important part of the guideline.
Inspect the tow vehicle’s hitch regularly for loose bolts or nuts, cracked welds, loose ball mounts, worn parts, etc.

New trailers often carry more food and other supplies than really needed. Remember that every item you take along is one more thing to stow and adds weight to the total load you must pull. Consolidate items in shelves, lockers, and in the refrigerator. It is better to have one full and one empty locker, than two half empty ones. Special care must be taken not to overload the front and rear ends of the trailer.

Brakes

All trailers are equipped with Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes. Please follow all maintenance procedures
in the Dexter user’s manual provided in the owner’s packet.
Electronic Brake Controller
The trailer brakes are operated by a 12-volt current from your tow vehicle and must be hooked up so you have an integral system with your tow vehicle brakes. To prevent problems and ensure satisfactory braking action, install an electronic controller in line with the brakes in your tow vehicle.
An electronic controller will synchronize the trailer brakes with your tow vehicle brakes. It is designed to apply the trailer brakes with your tow vehicle brakes. Your brake controller should be adjusted to provide for a slight lead of the trailer brakes over the tow vehicle brakes.

Loading
When towing a trailer, you are subject to new and different challenges on the highway than you may have previously encountered. Towing a trailer is no small responsibility and should be undertaken with great care and safety first in mind. An accident with a tow vehicle and trailer can have much greater consequences than carelessness with a small car. Like an airline pilot who is responsible for expensive equipment and many lives, you should take your responsibilities as a tow vehicle driver very seriously and learn all you can about doing the job safely and well. Balancing the load and preparing the trailer and tow vehicle are critical to safe handling.
One of the most critical aspects of safely towing a trailer is knowing the weights involved and where they are placed. The first thing to determine is how much is being towed and confirming that it is within the capacities of the equipment being used.

Determining where the load is placed is critical to the way your rig will handle on the road. Know what your trailer weighs loaded. Load your trailer including water, propane, etc and take it to a public scale. Weigh each axle of your vehicle. Refer to your axle weight and tire limits to see if you are within a safe range. Total all axle weights, ensuring you are below the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWRMake sure your load is balanced. Do not load too much on one side. A balanced load is much easier to tow or drive. Front-to-back balance is also important. Step back and look at your trailer, making sure that there is not too much weight on the hitch, or on the rear of the trailer. Secure all items, as loose items can cause damage and become a safety issue. The Cargo Carrying Capacity tag shown below is installed on every trailer and can be found on the inside of the entry door on your trailer.

Airstream weighs the trailer as finished to arrive at the trailer’s weight. That number is subtracted from the GVWR of the trailer and listed under THE WEIGHT OF CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED on the tag, The total weight of any and all cargo, including dealer modifications or additions, water, and propane should never exceed the number listed.
As cargo is added, removed, or shifts in location, the weight on the axle(s) and hitch will change. Also, the hitch and axle weights will change as a consequence of the weight of the LP tank(s) diminishing from
use of propane, and/or the transfer of weight as a consequence of water in the freshwater tank being used and transferred to the grey and black tanks. In shorter units, rear bath models especially, when the LP tanks are empty and freshwater has been transferred to the grey and black holding tanks, the reduction in hitch weight may be significant. For this reason, we recommend that the grey and black tanks be emptied before traveling.
When loading the trailer, keep the following in mind:

  • GVWR
  • Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)
  • Tire Weight Rating
  • Cargo

Never exceed these ratings. Your safety depends on not overloading the trailer, trailer axles, and tires. Refer to Section 4 – Floor Plan and Specifications for rating list.

Weighing Your Trailer
The illustration below shows how to weigh the trailer on scales.2017 Airstream Travel Trailer fig-1

  1. The trailer’s total weight, cannot exceed GVWR.
  2. The trailer’s weight on axles cannot exceed GAWR.
  3. Weight on trailer tongue.
    To determine that the GAWR is not exceeded, it is necessary to load all of your allowable personal cargo and variable weights. Then hitch the trailer to the tow vehicle with load equalizing hitch properly adjusted.
    Chock wheels and place the trailer on a scale with both axles only on the scale (see illustration). If the weight on the axles exceeds the axle system’s GAWR, then some of the personal cargo must be redistributed forward in order to place some of this weight on the tongue.
    The tongue weight should be 10 to 15% of the trailer’s total weight, and must not exceed the tow vehicle’s or the hitch’s maximum weight rating. To determine tongue load, unhitch tow vehicle and place the tongue hitch post on a scale. The trailer must be properly loaded as determined above, with your allowable personal cargo and variable weights.
    Use a scale, such as a bathroom scale, that has a lower weight limit than your tongue load, to check the tongue weight by using the following method (see illustration).

2017 Airstream Travel Trailer fig-2

  1. Bathroom Scale
  2. Pipe
  3. Wood Support

Place a piece of wood of approximately the same thickness as the bathroom scales on the ground in line with the trailer hitch jack as shown. It should be so spaced that a short piece of pipe or other round piece will lay exactly one foot from the centerline of the jack extension.
Place the scales so that another round piece can
be exactly two feet from the centerline of the jack extension in the other direction. Place a 4 x 4 piece of wood on the two round pieces and screw the jack extension down on the top of the 4 x 4 until the tongue of the trailer is supported by it. Multiply the scale reading by three. This will be the tongue weight of your trailer. If you exceed the capacity of the bathroom scales, increase the two-foot dimension to three or four more feet, but always multiply the scale reading by the total number of feet between the wood and scales.

NOTE
Be sure the trailer is level when reading scales.

Hitching Up
The process of hitching up your trailer is something that will become almost second nature with practice. The following section includes proper hitch load distribution. Proper training on connecting your trailer to a tow vehicle is essential for safety. Please see your dealer or other qualified personnel for instruction on the proper hitching of your trailer. Safety chain use on the hitch is required in all states.

Specification Chart

NOTE
All weights listed in the Specification Chart are checked and updated throughout the model year.
Your production trailer may vary from the weights listed. 2018 Airstream Travel Trailer fig-2

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), 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 entry 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.

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 the trailer parked on fairly level ground, measure from the ground to the bottom of the frame, front and rear.
  2. Adjust the front jack until the measurements are equal.
  3. Now, measure from the ground to the inside top of the 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.

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. PERMABLOK3® by Spradling PermaBlok3® is a vinyl protective coating that’s engineered to create a tough, effective barrier against the three biggest problems: germs, abrasion, and stains. You can not see it or feel it, yet the protection it offers results in extended performance and lasting beauty with minimum care. Most stains can be removed with a damp cloth and cleaned with a 1:1 mix of Ivory® soap and water. A 1:1 mix of ammonia and water, or a 1:4 mix of bleach and water can be used for more stubborn stains. Only if needed a 1:1 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water can be used. Use only a soft cotton cloth and rub the stain in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and pat dry.

Interior Aluminum Skin
Interior aluminum skin can be cleaned by washing 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. Airstream recommends using Pledge® All-Purpose Cleaner to clean interior surfaces including the aluminum skin.

NOTE
When washing or polishing your trailer, always wipe with the grain of the metal.

Window Shades
Blot liquid spills with a clean, dry cloth. For oil-based spills, apply an absorbent such as corn starch, then remove with a straight edge.

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 an fine furniture finish. Use a high-quality furniture cleaner which does NOT contain ammonia or bleach. One good choice is Murphy Oil Soap Clean and Shine.

Counter Area
The countertops are made of a high-pressure laminate 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.

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. Rubber backing on doormats may result in yellow discoloration of the floor immediately beneath. Choose a natural fiber mat. Rubber feet on furniture may cause staining. Remove them altogether or place coasters or felt pads between them and the floor.
Protecting Your Floor From Physical Damage For spirit-based products such as shoe polish, solvents. hair dye, and permanent marker pens, wipe up spots and marks as quickly as possible. This also applies to mustard and strongly colored foodstuffs. Corrosive substances such as acid and alkaline solutions can damage the surface of the floor. Clean up any spills quickly and carefully avoiding direct contact with the substance. Wear protective clothing such as gloves when doing so. Bitumen/tar from freshly resurfaced or melted roads and pathways, and some inexpensive rubber shoe and slipper soles can cause stains. The above materials are likely to cause damage but are not considered restrictive.

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 then turn the water off. Apply soap, lather thoroughly, and then rinse the soap off. The shower stall is equipped with an exterior shower door that allows the shower head to be passed through to the outside. Make sure the door remains locked when not in use.

GALLEY
The Basecamp galley has two retractable 120V receptacles with USB ports installed in the galley’s countertop. These flush-mounted receptacles can be pulled up to use the outlets/USB ports. When not in use, simply press the receptacles back down to lock them in place. The receptacle is completely self-contained and sealed should any spillage occur around its casing.2018 Airstream Travel Trailer fig-3

Caution
Caution is used to advise caution when performing actions that could result in minor or moderate injury to persons and/or damage to equipment.

NOTE
A note is used to address practices not related to personal injury. This applies to hazardous situations involving property damage only.

Optional items may be available on all, or particular models. Additionally, some optional items can only be included during the manufacturing phase and cannot later be added to the trailer.
The inclusion of optional items information in this manual does not imply or suggest the availability, application, suitability, or inclusion for any specific unit.

Safety Precautions

Many things can be construed as safety-related, but the most important is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material, or any other hazardous material, you surely realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased.
You will find many safety recommendations in this section and throughout the manual. The following recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Transporting of Passengers
The transporting of people in the trailer puts their lives at risk and may be illegal. The trailer does not have seat belts, therefore, it is not designed to carry passengers.

Towing and Weight Distribution
Weight distribution is an important factor when loading your travel trailer. A recreational vehicle with the cargo distributed properly will result in efficient, trouble-free towing. Refer to Section 7 – Towing for more information.

Controlling Sway
Sway or fishtailing is the sideways action of a trailer caused by external forces. Excessive sway of your trailer can lead to the rollover of the trailer and tow vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death. Refer to Section 7 – Towing for more information.

Lug Nut Torquing
Making sure wheel mounting nuts (lug nuts) on trailer wheels are tight and properly torqued is an important responsibility that trailer owners and users need to understand and practice. Inadequate and/or inappropriate wheel nut torque (tightness) is a major cause of lug nuts loosening in service. Loose lug nuts can rapidly lead to a wheel separation resulting in potentially serious safety consequences. See torque pattern in Section 8 – Maintenance for tightening sequence, and follow torque specifications in Section 4 – Floor Plans and Specifications.

Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Refer to Section 8 – Maintenance for tire care and safety information. Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety Manual Addendum included with your owner’s packet.

Appliances and Equipment
The appliances and equipment (stove, hot water heater, furnace, etc.) typically can be operated on LP gas. LP gas is flammable and is contained under high pressure. Improper use may result in a fire and/or explosion. Make sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual as well as those in the specific owner’s manuals of the appliances and equipment.

Mold
Mold and mold spores exist throughout indoor and outdoor environments. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment, however, the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. Refer to Section 3 – General Information for information on controlling condensation and molds.

Chemical Sensitivity and Ventilation

Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the purchase of your new recreational vehicle, and sometimes after it has been closed up for an extended period of time, you may notice a strong odor and/or experience a chemical sensitivity. This is not a defect in your recreational vehicle. Like your home, there are many different products used in the construction of recreational vehicles, such as carpet, linoleum, plywood, insulation, upholstery, etc. Formaldehyde is also the by-product of combustion and numerous household products, such as some paints, coatings, and cosmetics. However, recreational vehicles are much smaller than your home and therefore, the exchange of air inside a recreational vehicle is significantly less than in a home. These products, when new or when exposed to elevated temperatures and/or humidity, may off-gas different chemicals, including formaldehyde. This off-gassing, in combination with the minimal air exchange, may cause you to experience irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat and sometimes headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems, may be more susceptible to the effects of off-gassing.

Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance and is an important chemical used widely by industries to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present inside the trailer and some individuals may be sensitive to it. Ventilation of the unit normally reduces the exposure to a comfortable level.

Trace levels of formaldehyde are released from smoking, cooking, and use of soaps and detergents, such as carpet shampoos, cosmetics, and many other household products. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde while others may not have any reaction to the same levels of formaldehyde. Amounts released decrease over time.
Your Airstream trailer was manufactured using low formaldehyde-emitting (LFE) wood products, use of which is typical in the recreation vehicle industry. Formaldehyde has an important role in
the adhesives used to bind wood products used in recreation vehicles. The wood products in your trailer are designed to emit formaldehyde at or lower than industry guidelines and should not produce symptoms in most individuals.

While LFE wood products typically do not emit formaldehyde at a level that would cause symptoms in most individuals, it is possible, though not likely, for that to occur when the trailer is not properly ventilated. Ventilation is an essential requirement for trailer use, for many reasons. Any effects of formaldehyde can be greatly reduced by actions such as opening windows, opening roof vents, running the air conditioner, or some combination thereof. In addition, the emission of formaldehyde by these products naturally decreases rapidly over time.
Airstream strongly suggests you take measures to properly ventilate your trailer on a regular basis. If you have any questions with respect to proper ventilation of your trailer, please do not hesitate to contact your Airstream dealer.

Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing, it is of utmost importance that you ventilate your recreational vehicle. Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember, off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity.

NOTE
This Carbon Monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the alarm. Do not open
or tamper with the alarm as this could cause malfunction. The detector will not protect against the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning when the batteries are dead or missing. The alarm will only indicate the presence of CO gas at the sensor.

Important Safety Precautions

  1. Carbon Monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels such as wood, charcoal, coal, heating oil, paraffin, gasoline, natural gas, propane, butane, etc.
  2. Ideally, it is recommended that a Carbon Monoxide detector should be installed in or near every room that has a fuel-burning appliance such as any room heaters, water heaters, cookers, grills, etc.
  3. Ensure that the alarm horn can be heard by all those who are intended to hear it. Seek medical help if it is suspected that a user of the RV is suffering from Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
  4. If the alarm sounds, make sure to investigate the problem. Ignoring the alarm may result in sickness, injury, or death. (CO may be present even if nothing is seen or smelled by the user.)
  5. Room spaces should be well-ventilated when household cleaning supplies are used as these may cause a false alarm.
  6. The alarm should be tested once per week. If further details are required, which do not appear in this manual, contact the manufacturer.

What Is Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that is released when fuels are burned. It is invisible, has no smell, and is therefore, very difficult to detect with the human senses. Under normal conditions, in a room where fuel-burning appliances are well maintained and correctly ventilated, the amount of CO released into the room by appliances is not dangerous.
These fuels include: wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane. Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly. CO is a real danger in air-tight trailers with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing that can trap CO inside.

Optional items may be available on all, or particular models. Additionally, some optional items can only be included during the manufacturing phase and cannot later be added to the trailer.
The inclusion of optional items information in this manual does not imply or suggest the availability, application, suitability, or inclusion for any specific unit.

Safety Precautions

Many things can be construed as safety-related, but the most important is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material, or any other hazardous material, you surely realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased. You will find many safety recommendations in this section and throughout the manual. The following recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Transporting of Passengers
The transporting of people in the trailer puts their lives at risk and may be illegal. The trailer does not have seat belts, therefore, it is not designed to carry passengers.

Towing and Weight Distribution
Weight distribution is an important factor when loading your travel trailer. A recreational vehicle with the cargo distributed properly will result in efficient, trouble-free towing. Refer to Section 7 – Towing for more information.

Controlling Sway
Sway or fishtailing is the sideways action of a trailer caused by external forces. Excessive sway of your trailer can lead to the rollover of the trailer and tow vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death. Refer to Section 7 – Towing for more information.

Lug Nut Torquing
Making sure wheel mounting nuts (lug nuts) on trailer wheels are tight and properly torqued is an important responsibility that trailer owners and users need to understand and practice. Inadequate and/or inappropriate wheel nut torque (tightness) is a major cause of lug nuts loosening in service. Loose lug nuts can rapidly lead to a wheel separation resulting in potentially serious safety consequences. See torque pattern in Section 8 – Maintenance for tightening sequence, and follow torque specifications in Section 4 – Floor Plans and Specifications.

Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Refer to Section 8 – Maintenance for tire care and safety information. Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety Manual Addendum included with your owner’s packet.

Appliances and Equipment
The appliances and equipment (stove, hot water heater, furnace, etc.) typically can be operated on
LP gas. LP gas is flammable and is contained under high pressure. Improper use may result in a fire and/or explosion. Make sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual as well as those in the specific owner’s manuals of the appliances and equipment.

Mold
Mold and mold spores exist throughout indoor and outdoor environments. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment, however, the way to control indoor
mold growth is to control moisture. Refer to Section 3 – General Information for information on controlling condensation and molds.

Chemical Sensitivity and Ventilation

Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the purchase of your new recreational vehicle, and sometimes after it has been closed up for an extended period of time, you may notice a strong odor and/or experience a chemical sensitivity. This is not a defect in your recreational vehicle. Like your home, there are many different products used in the construction of recreational vehicles, such as carpet, linoleum, plywood, insulation, upholstery, etc. Formaldehyde is also the by-product of combustion and numerous household products, such as some paints, coatings, and cosmetics. However, recreational vehicles are much smaller than your home and therefore, the exchange of air inside a recreational vehicle is significantly less than in a home. These products, when new or when exposed to elevated temperatures and/or humidity, may off-gas different chemicals, including formaldehyde. This off-gassing, in combination with the minimal air exchange, may cause you to experience irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat and sometimes headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems, may be more susceptible to the effects of off-gassing.

Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance and is an important chemical used widely by industries to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present inside the trailer and some individuals may be sensitive to it. Ventilation of the unit normally reduces the exposure to a comfortable level.

Trace levels of formaldehyde are released from smoking, cooking, and use of soaps and detergents, such as carpet shampoos, cosmetics, and many other household products. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde while others may not have any reaction to the same levels of formaldehyde. Amounts released decrease over time.
Your Airstream trailer was manufactured using low formaldehyde-emitting (LFE) wood products, use of which is typical in the recreation vehicle industry. Formaldehyde has an important role in
the adhesives used to bind wood products used in recreation vehicles. The wood products in your trailer are designed to emit formaldehyde at or lower than industry guidelines and should not produce symptoms in most individuals.

While LFE wood products typically do not emit formaldehyde at a level that would cause symptoms in most individuals, it is possible, though not likely, for that to occur when the trailer is not properly ventilated. Ventilation is an essential requirement for trailer use, for many reasons. Any effects of formaldehyde can be greatly reduced by actions such as opening windows, opening roof vents, running the air conditioner, or some combination thereof. In addition, the emission of formaldehyde by these products naturally decreases rapidly over time.
Airstream strongly suggests you take measures to properly ventilate your trailer on a regular basis. If you have any questions with respect to the proper ventilation of your trailer, please do not hesitate to contact your Airstream dealer.

Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing, it is of utmost importance that you ventilate your recreational vehicle. Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember, off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity.

NOTE
This Carbon Monoxide detector is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or moisture. Do not knock or drop the alarm. Do not open
or tamper with the alarm as this could cause malfunction. The detector will not protect against the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning when the batteries are dead or missing. The alarm will only indicate the presence of CO gas at the sensor.

Important Safety Precautions

  1. Carbon Monoxide is produced by the incomplete combustion of fuels such as wood, charcoal, coal, heating oil, paraffin, gasoline, natural gas, propane, butane, etc.
  2. Ideally, it is recommended that a Carbon Monoxide detector should be installed in or near every room that has a fuel-burning appliance such as any room heaters, water heaters, cookers, grills, etc.
  3. Ensure that the alarm horn can be heard by all those who are intended to hear it. Seek medical help if it is suspected that a user of the RV is suffering from Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
  4. If the alarm sounds, make sure to investigate the problem. Ignoring the alarm may result in sickness, injury, or death. (CO may be present even if nothing is seen or smelled by the user.)
  5. Room spaces should be well-ventilated when household cleaning supplies are used as these may cause a false alarm.
  6. The alarm should be tested once per week. If further details are required, which do not appear in this manual, contact the manufacturer.

What Is Carbon Monoxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that is released when fuels are burned. It is invisible, has no smell, and is therefore, very difficult to detect with the human senses. Under normal conditions, in a room where fuel-burning appliances are well maintained and correctly ventilated, the amount of CO released into the room by appliances is not dangerous.
These fuels include: wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane. Common appliances are often sources of CO. If they are not properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly. CO is a real danger in air-tight trailers with added insulation, sealed windows, and other weatherproofing that can trap CO inside.

Safety Precautions

Many things can be construed as safety-related, but the most important is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material, or any other hazardous material, you surely realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased. You will find many safety recommendations in this section and throughout the manual. The following recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Weight Distribution
The touring coach has fresh water and wastewater tanks, a water heater, and storage areas. It gives you great flexibility in loading. With flexibility comes responsibility. If you want to load down all the storage compartments, the number of fluids may have to be reduced. It is a trade so plan wisely. Distribute your additional cargo as evenly as possible with the heaviest objects located as low as possible.
Do you really want to carry a full fresh water tank to an RV park 1,000 miles away and then hook up to a city water supply? Even if you’re going to a remote area, you can usually fill your water tank shortly before entering the area. Just reducing your load by 10 gallons of water lets you carry an additional 83.5 pounds of cargo.

Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Refer to Section 9 – Maintenance for tire care and safety information. Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety Manual Addendum included with your owner’s packet.

Appliances and Equipment
The appliances (stove) and equipment (hot water heater/furnace, generator, etc.) typically operate on liquefied petroleum (LP) gas. LP gas is flammable and is contained under high pressure. Improper use may result in a fire and/or explosion. Make sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual as well as those in the specific owner’s manuals of the appliances and equipment.

Generator Safety
Do not operate the generator in an enclosed building or in a partly enclosed area, such as a garage. Be sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual and the generator manufacturer’s manual. Refer to Section 5 – Interior for generator information.

Mold
Mold and mold spores exist throughout indoor and outdoor environments. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; however, the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. Refer to Section 3 – General Information for information on controlling condensation and molds.

Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember, off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity. Open windows, exhaust vents, and doors. Operate ceiling and/or other fans, roof AC, and use a fan to force stale air out and bring fresh air in. Decreasing the flow of air by sealing the recreational vehicle increases the formaldehyde level in the vehicle’s indoor air.

Do Not Smoke
It is recommended you do not smoke inside your recreational vehicle. In addition to causing damage to your recreational vehicle, tobacco smoke releases formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals.

Medical Advice
Questions regarding the effects of formaldehyde on your health should be submitted to your doctor or local health department.

Safety Precautions

Many things can be construed as safety-related, but the most important is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material, or any other hazardous material, you surely realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased. You will find many safety recommendations in this section and throughout the manual. The following recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Weight Distribution
The touring coach has fresh water and wastewater tanks, a water heater, and storage areas. It gives you great flexibility in loading. With flexibility comes responsibility. If you want to load down all the storage compartments, the number of fluids may have to be reduced. It is a trade so plan wisely. Distribute your additional cargo as evenly as possible with the heaviest objects located as low as possible.
Do you really want to carry a full fresh water tank to an RV park 1,000 miles away and then hook up to a city water supply? Even if you’re going to a remote area, you can usually fill your water tank shortly before entering the area. Just reducing your load by 10 gallons of water lets you carry an additional 83.5 pounds of cargo.

Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Refer to Section 9 – Maintenance for tire care and safety information. Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety Manual Addendum included with your owner’s packet.

Appliances and Equipment
The appliances (stove) and equipment (hot water heater/furnace, generator, etc.) typically operate on liquefied petroleum (LP) gas. LP gas is flammable and is contained under high pressure. Improper use may result in a fire and/or explosion. Make sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual as well as those in the specific owner’s manuals of the appliances and equipment.

Generator Safety
Do not operate the generator in an enclosed building or in a partly enclosed area, such as a garage. Be sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual and the generator manufacturer’s manual. Refer to Section 5 – Interior for generator information.

Mold
Mold and mold spores exist throughout indoor and outdoor environments. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; however, the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. Refer to Section 3 – General Information for information on controlling condensation and molds.

Chemical Sensitivity and Ventilation

Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the purchase of your new recreational vehicle and sometimes after it has been closed up for an extended period of time, you may notice a strong odor and/or experience a chemical sensitivity. This is not a defect in your recreational vehicle. Like your home, there are many different products used in the construction of recreational vehicles, such as carpet, linoleum, plywood, insulation, upholstery, etc. Formaldehyde is also the by-product of combustion and numerous household products, such as some paints, coatings, and cosmetics. However, recreational vehicles are much smaller than your home and therefore, the exchange of air inside a recreational vehicle is significantly less than in a home. These products, when new or when exposed to elevated temperatures and/or humidity, may off-gas different chemicals, including formaldehyde. This off-gassing, in combination with the minimum air exchange, may cause you to experience irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as sometimes headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems, may be more susceptible to the effects of off-gassing.

Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance and is an important chemical used widely by industries to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present inside the touring coach. Ventilation of the unit normally reduces the exposure to a comfortable level. Trace levels of formaldehyde are released from smoking, cooking, use of soaps and detergents, such as carpet shampoos and cosmetics, and many other household products. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde while others may not have any reaction to the same levels of formaldehyde. Amounts released decrease over time.

Your Airstream touring coach was manufactured using low formaldehyde-emitting (LFE) wood products, the use of which is typical in the recreation vehicle industry. Formaldehyde has an important role in the adhesives used to bind wood products used in recreation vehicles. The wood products in your coach are designed to emit formaldehyde at or lower than industry guidelines and should not produce symptoms in most individuals.

While LFE wood products typically do not emit formaldehyde at a level that would cause symptoms in most individuals, it is possible, though not likely, for symptoms to occur when the touring coach is not properly ventilated. Ventilation is an essential requirement for touring coach use for many reasons. Any effects of formaldehyde can be greatly reduced by actions such as opening windows, opening roof vents, running the air conditioner, or some combination thereof. In addition, the emission of formaldehyde by these products naturally decreases rapidly over time.
Airstream strongly suggests you take measures to properly ventilate your touring coach on a regular basis. If you have any questions with respect to the proper ventilation of your touring coach, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer or Airstream.

Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing, it is of the utmost importance that you ventilate your recreational vehicle. Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember, off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity. Open windows, exhaust vents, and doors. Operate ceiling and/or other fans, roof AC, and use a fan to force stale air out and bring fresh air in. Decreasing the flow of air by sealing the recreational vehicle increases the formaldehyde level in the vehicle’s indoor air.

Do Not Smoke
It is recommended you do not smoke inside your recreational vehicle. In addition to causing damage to your recreational vehicle, tobacco smoke releases formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals.

Medical Advice
Questions regarding the effects of formaldehyde on your health should be submitted to your doctor or local health department.

The operation and care of component parts such as, refrigerators, furnaces, water heaters and others are briefly explained in this manual. All information, illustrations, and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication approval. Airstream reserves the right to make changes if and when new materials and/or production techniques are developed that can improve the quality of its product, or when material substitutions are necessary due to availability. A caution is used to advise caution when performing actions that could result in minor or moderate injury to persons and/or damage to equipment.

NOTE
A note is used to address practices not related to personal injury. This applies to hazardous situations involving property damage only.

Optional items may be available on all, or particular models. Additionally, some optional items can only be included during the manufacturing phase and cannot later be added to the touring coach. The inclusion of optional items information in this manual does not imply or suggest the availability, application, suitability, or inclusion for any specific unit.

NOTE
Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Operator’s and Warranty Manuals contain important cautions, warnings, operational, and warranty information on the Sprinter and its components. All information in the Sprinter manual should be reviewed and followed for your safety. The Airstream Interstate Nineteen Owner’s Manual may provide additional information and tips on the use of the van as a touring coach; however, no information in the Airstream manual should be interpreted as advice or directions to disregard or void the warnings, cautions, or other information contained in the Sprinter’s manuals.

Safety Precautions

Many things can be construed as safety-related, but the most important is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material, or any other hazardous material, you surely realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased.
You will find many safety recommendations in this section and throughout the manual. The following recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Weight Distribution
The touring coach has fresh water and wastewater tanks, a water heater, and storage areas. It gives you great flexibility in loading. With flexibility comes responsibility. If you want to load down all the storage compartments, the number of fluids may have to be reduced. It is a trade off so plan wisely. Distribute your additional cargo as evenly as possible with the heaviest objects located as low as possible.
Do you really want to carry a full freshwater tank to an RV park 1,000 miles away and then hook up to a city water supply? Even if you’re going to a remote area, you can usually fill your water tank shortly before entering the area. Just reducing your load by 10 gallons of water lets you carry an additional 83.5 pounds of cargo.

Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Refer to Section 9 – Maintenance for tire care and safety information. Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety Manual Addendum included with your owner’s packet.

Appliances and Equipment
The appliances (stove) and equipment (hot water heater/furnace, generator, etc.) typically operate on liquefied petroleum (LP) gas. LP gas is flammable and is contained under high pressure. Improper use may result in a fire and/or explosion. Make sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual as well as those in the specific owner’s manuals of the appliances and equipment.

Generator Safety
Do not operate the generator in an enclosed building or in a partly enclosed area, such as a garage. Be sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual and the generator manufacturer’s manual. Refer to Section 5 – Interior for generator information.

Mold
Mold and mold spores exist throughout indoor and outdoor environments. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; however, the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. Refer to Section 3 – General Information for information on controlling condensation and molds.

Chemical Sensitivity and Ventilation

Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the purchase of your new recreational vehicle and sometimes after it has been closed up for an extended period of time, you may notice a strong odor and/or experience a chemical sensitivity. This is not a defect in your recreational vehicle. Like your home, there are many different products used in the construction of recreational vehicles, such as carpet, linoleum, plywood, insulation, upholstery, etc. Formaldehyde is also the by-product of combustion and numerous household products, such as some paints, coatings, and cosmetics. However, recreational vehicles are much smaller than your home and therefore, the exchange of air inside a recreational vehicle is significantly less than in a home. These products, when new or when exposed to elevated temperatures and/or humidity, may off-gas different chemicals, including formaldehyde. This off-gassing, in combination with the minimal air exchange, may cause you to experience irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as sometimes headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems, may be more susceptible to the effects of off-gassing.

Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance and is an important chemical used widely by industries to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present inside the touring coach. Ventilation of the unit normally reduces the exposure to a comfortable level. Trace levels of formaldehyde are released from smoking, cooking, use of soaps and detergents, such as carpet shampoos and cosmetics, and many other household products. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde while others may not have any reaction to the same levels of formaldehyde. Amounts released decrease over time.

Your Airstream touring coach was manufactured using low formaldehyde-emitting (LFE) wood products, the use of which is typical in the recreation vehicle industry. Formaldehyde has an important role in the adhesives used to bind wood products used in recreation vehicles. The wood products in your coach are designed to emit formaldehyde at or lower than industry guidelines and should not produce symptoms in most individuals.

While LFE wood products typically do not emit formaldehyde at a level that would cause symptoms in most individuals, it is possible, though not likely, for symptoms to occur when the touring coach is not properly ventilated. Ventilation is an essential requirement for touring coach use for many reasons. Any effects of formaldehyde can be greatly reduced by actions such as opening windows, opening roof vents, running the air conditioner, or some combination thereof. In addition, the emission of formaldehyde by these products naturally decreases rapidly over time.
Airstream strongly suggests you take measures to properly ventilate your touring coach on a regular basis. If you have any questions with respect to the proper ventilation of your touring coach, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer or Airstream.

Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing, it is of the utmost importance that you ventilate your recreational vehicle. Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember, off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity. Open windows, exhaust vents, and doors. Operate ceiling and/or other fans, roof AC, and use a fan to force stale air out and bring fresh air in. Decreasing the flow of air by sealing the recreational vehicle increases the formaldehyde level in the vehicle’s indoor air.

Do Not Smoke
It is recommended you do not smoke inside your recreational vehicle. In addition to causing damage to your recreational vehicle, tobacco smoke releases formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals.

Medical Advice
Questions regarding the effects of formaldehyde on your health should be submitted to your doctor or local health department.

Caution
A caution is used to advise caution when performing actions that could result in minor or moderate injury to persons and/or damage to equipment.

NOTE
A note is used to address practices not related to personal injury. This applies to hazardous situations involving property damage only.

Optional items may be available on all, or particular models. Additionally, some optional items can only be included during the manufacturing phase and cannot later be added to the touring coach. The inclusion of optional items information in this manual does not imply or suggest the availability, application, suitability, or inclusion for any specific unit.

NOTE
Your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Operator’s and Warranty Manuals contain important cautions, warnings, and operational, and warranty information on the Sprinter and its components. All information in the Sprinter manual should be reviewed and followed for your safety. The Airstream Interstate Nineteen Owner’s Manual may provide additional information and tips on the use of the van as a touring coach; however, no information in the Airstream manual should be interpreted as advice or directions to disregard or void the warnings, cautions, or other information contained in the Sprinter’s manuals.

Safety Precautions

Many things can be construed as safety-related, but the most important is your common sense. If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material, or any other hazardous material, you surely realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased. You will find many safety recommendations in this section and throughout the manual. The following recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Weight Distribution
The touring coach has fresh water and wastewater tanks, a water heater, and storage areas. It gives you great flexibility in loading. With flexibility comes responsibility. If you want to load down all the storage compartments, the number of fluids may have to be reduced. It is a trade off so plan wisely. Distribute your additional cargo as evenly as possible with the heaviest objects located as low as possible.
Do you really want to carry a full freshwater tank to a RV park 1,000 miles away and then hook up to a city water supply? Even if you’re going to a remote area, you can usually fill your water tank shortly before entering the area. Just reducing your load by 10 gallons of water lets you carry an additional 83.5 pounds of cargo.

Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Refer to Section 9 – Maintenance for tire care and safety information. Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety Manual Addendum included with your owner’s packet.

Appliances and Equipment
The appliances (stove) and equipment (hot water heater/furnace, generator, etc.) typically operate on liquefied petroleum (LP) gas. LP gas is flammable and is contained under high pressure. Improper use may result in a fire and/or explosion. Make sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual as well as those in the specific owner’s manuals of the appliances and equipment.

Generator Safety
Do not operate the generator in an enclosed building or in a partly enclosed area, such as a garage. Be sure to follow all instructions and warnings in this manual and the generator manufacturer’s manual. Refer to Section 5 – Interior for generator information.

Mold
Mold and mold spores exist throughout indoor and outdoor environments. There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment; however, the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. Refer to Section 3 – General Information for information on controlling condensation and molds.

Chemical Sensitivity and Ventilation

Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the purchase of your new recreational vehicle and sometimes after it has been closed up for an extended period of time, you may notice a strong odor and/or experience a chemical sensitivity. This is not a defect in your recreational vehicle. Like your home, there are many different products used in the construction of recreational vehicles, such as carpet, linoleum, plywood, insulation, upholstery, etc. Formaldehyde is also the by-product of combustion and numerous household products, such as paints, coatings, and cosmetics. However, recreational vehicles are much smaller than your home and therefore, the exchange of air inside a recreational vehicle is significantly less than in a home. These products, when new or when exposed to elevated temperatures and/or humidity, may off-gas different chemicals, including formaldehyde. This off-gassing, in combination with the minimum air exchange, may cause you to experience irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as sometimes headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems, may be more susceptible to the effects of off-gassing.

Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance and is an important chemical used widely by industries to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present inside the touring coach. Ventilation of the unit normally reduces the exposure to a comfortable level.

Trace levels of formaldehyde are released from smoking, cooking, use of soaps and detergents, such as carpet shampoos and cosmetics, and many other household products. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde while others may not have any reaction to the same levels of formaldehyde. Amounts released decrease over time.
Your Airstream touring coach was manufactured using low formaldehyde-emitting (LFE) wood products, the use of which is typical in the recreation vehicle industry. Formaldehyde has an important role in
the adhesives used to bind wood products used in recreation vehicles. The wood products in your coach are designed to emit formaldehyde at or lower than industry guidelines and should not produce symptoms in most individuals.

While LFE wood products typically do not emit formaldehyde at a level that would cause symptoms in most individuals, it is possible, though not likely, for symptoms to occur when the touring coach is
not properly ventilated. Ventilation is an essential requirement for touring coach use for many reasons. Any effects of formaldehyde can be greatly reduced by actions such as opening windows, opening roof vents, running the air conditioner, or some combination thereof. In addition, the emission of formaldehyde by these products naturally decreases rapidly over time.
Airstream strongly suggests you take measures to properly ventilate your touring coach on a regular basis. If you have any questions with respect to proper ventilation of your touring coach, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer or Airstream.

Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing, it is of the utmost importance that you ventilate your recreational vehicle. Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember, off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity. Open windows, exhaust vents, and doors. Operate ceiling and/or other fans, roof AC, and use a fan to force stale air out and bring fresh air in. Decreasing the flow of air by sealing the recreational vehicle increases the formaldehyde level in the vehicle’s indoor air.

Do Not Smoke
It is recommended you do not smoke inside your recreational vehicle. In addition to causing damage to your recreational vehicle, tobacco smoke releases formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals.

Medical Advice
Questions regarding the effects of formaldehyde on your health should be submitted to your doctor or local health department.

INTRODUCTION

The Owner’s Manual for your new Airstream trailer is designed to respond to the most frequent inquiries regarding the operation, function, and care of the many systems that make modern trailering a joy.
Airstream realizes our customers possess varying degrees of expertise in the area of maintaining and repairing the appliances in their trailers. For this reason, the service information found in this manual is directed toward those with average mechanical skills. We also realize that you may be more familiar with one area than you are with another. Only you know your capabilities and limitations. We want you to use this manual and hope you will find the information contained in it useful. However, should you ever feel that you may be in need of assistance, please consult your Airstream dealer for advice on service that may be required.

A brief explanation of the operation of the appliances such as refrigerator, furnace, water heater, and others, are explained in this manual. However, you will also find the manufacturer’s information, supplied in a packet included with this manual, to be more detailed. All information, illustrations, and specifications contained in this manual are based on the latest product information available at the time of publication approval. If and when new materials and production techniques are developed that can improve the quality of its product, or material substitutions are necessary due to availability, Airstream reserves the right to make such changes.

Caution
Caution is used to advise caution when performing actions that could result in minor or moderate injury to persons and/or damage to equipment.

If you are careless with matches, cigarettes, flammable material, or any other hazardous material, you surely realize your potential for accidents is greatly increased. You will find many safety recommendations in this section and throughout the manual. The following recommendations are the ones we consider to be the most important.

Transporting of Passengers
The transporting of people in the trailer puts their lives at risk and may be illegal. The trailer does not have seat belts, therefore, it is not designed to carry passengers.

Towing and Weight Distribution
Weight distribution is an important factor when loading your travel trailer. A recreational vehicle with the cargo distributed properly will result in efficient, trouble-free towing. Refer to Section 7 – Towing for more information.

Controlling Sway
Sway or fishtailing is the sideways action of a trailer caused by external forces. Excessive sway of your travel trailer can lead to the rollover of the trailer and tow vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death. Refer to Section 7 – Towing for more information.

Lug Nut Torquing
Making sure wheel mounting nuts (lug nuts) on trailer wheels are tight and properly torqued is an important responsibility that trailer owners and users need to understand and practice. Inadequate and/or inappropriate wheel nut torque (tightness) is a major cause of lug nuts loosening in service. Loose lug nuts can rapidly lead to a wheel separation resulting in potentially serious safety consequences. See torque pattern in Section 8 – Maintenance for tightening sequence, and follow torque specifications in Section 4 – Floor Plans and Specifications.

Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering, stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your vehicle. Refer to Section 8 – Maintenance for tire care and safety information. Also, be sure to read the Tire Safety Manual Addendum included with your owner’s packet.

There is no practical way to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor environment, however, the way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture. Refer to Section 3 – General Information for information on controlling condensation and molds.

Chemical Sensitivity and Ventilation

Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the purchase of your new recreational vehicle, and sometimes after it has been closed up for an extended period of time, you may notice a strong odor and/or experience a chemical sensitivity. This is not a defect in your recreational vehicle. Like your home, there are many different products used in the construction of recreational vehicles, such as carpet, linoleum, plywood, insulation, upholstery, etc. Formaldehyde is also the by-product of combustion and numerous household products, such as some paints, coatings, and cosmetics. However, recreational vehicles are much smaller than your home and therefore, the exchange of air inside a recreational vehicle is significantly less than in a home. These products, when new or when exposed to elevated temperatures and/or humidity, may off-gas different chemicals, including formaldehyde. This off-gassing, in combination with the minimum air exchange, may cause you to experience irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat and sometimes headache, nausea, and a variety of asthma-like symptoms. Elderly persons and young children, as well as anyone with a history of asthma, allergies, or lung problems, may be more susceptible to the effects of off-gassing.

Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance and is an important chemical used widely by industries to manufacture building materials and numerous household products. It is also a by-product of combustion and certain other natural processes. Thus, it may be present inside the trailer and some individuals may be sensitive to it. Ventilation of the unit normally reduces the exposure to a comfortable level.
Trace levels of formaldehyde are released from smoking, cooking, and use of soaps and detergents, such as carpet shampoos, cosmetics, and many other household products. Some people are very sensitive to formaldehyde while others may not have any reaction to the same levels of formaldehyde. Amounts released decrease over time.

Your Airstream trailer was manufactured using low formaldehyde-emitting (LFE) wood products, use of which is typical in the recreation vehicle industry. Formaldehyde has an important role in
the adhesives used to bind wood products used in recreation vehicles. The wood products in your trailer are designed to emit formaldehyde at or lower than industry guidelines and should not produce symptoms in most individuals.

While LFE wood products typically do not emit formaldehyde at a level that would cause symptoms in most individuals, it is possible, though not likely, for that to occur when the trailer is not properly ventilated. Ventilation is an essential requirement for trailer use, for many reasons. Any effects of formaldehyde can be greatly reduced by actions such as opening windows, opening roof vents, running the air conditioner, or some combination thereof. In addition, the emission of formaldehyde by these products naturally decreases rapidly over time.
Airstream strongly suggests you take measures to properly ventilate your trailer on a regular basis. If you have any questions with respect to proper ventilation of your trailer, please do not hesitate to contact your Airstream dealer.

Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from off-gassing, it is of utmost importance that you ventilate your recreational vehicle. Ventilation should occur frequently after purchase and at times when the temperatures and humidity are elevated. Remember, off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity.
