INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
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 nd 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
nd the manufacturer’s information, supplied in a
packet included with this manual, to be more detailed.
All information, illustrations, and specications
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.
We have provided many important safety messages
in this manual. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
WARNING
A warning is used for a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury to persons.
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 specic unit.
