AIRSTREAM SAFARI –BAMBI TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL 2001
A-4
Abuse
Lack of customer care and/or improper maintenance will result in early failure for which Airstream cannot be held
responsible.
Exposure
Not unlike a car, the steel parts of a trailer can and will rust if subjected to prolonged exposure to moisture, salt air,
or corrosive air-borne pollutants without repainting. Aluminum oxidizes when unprotected under similar conditions,
and refinery chemicals of a sulfurous nature are harmful to finishes if not washed off periodically. Extremely hot or
direct sunlight will deteriorate rubber and fade curtains and upholstery. Conditions of this nature, although they may
be normal for the area, are beyond Airstream's control and become the responsibility of the owner.
Although it is our obligation to correct a rain or plumbing leak within the terms of the limited warranty, it is the
owner's responsibility to use reasonable, prudent care to minimize foreseeable secondary damage, such as a
delaminated floor, stained upholstery, carpeting, drapes etc.
Overload
Damage due to loading, either beyond capacity or to cause improper towing because of improper balance, is beyond
Airstream's responsibility. The Airstream trailer is engineered to properly handle the gross vehicle load rating on the
certification label. Load distribution has a definite effect upon the towing characteristics and attitudes of the trailer.
Level hitch installations are a necessity, and very important on a tandem axle trailer. There are limits to the amount
of load that can be safely transported depending upon speed and road conditions, and reasonable cause to believe
these factors have been exceeded could void the Airstream warranty. For additional information on the loading of
your trailer, consult your Owner's Manual or gross vehicle weight rating plate.
The Airstream axle is manufactured to a tolerance of 1-degree camber and 1/8" toe-in. These tolerances will only
change if the trailer is subjected to abuse, such as dropping off a sharp berm, striking a curb, or hitting a deep hole in
the road. Such damage could be considered as resulting from an accident which risks are not covered under the
warranty. Abnormal tire wear and/or wheel alignment resulting from such damage is not covered under the terms of
the warranty.
SERVICE:
The Airstream Silver Key Delivery Program is an exclusive Airstream program. Before leaving the factory, each
and every vital part of the trailer is tested for performance. Each test is signed and certified by an inspector. After the
trailer arrives on your dealer's lot all of these vital parts and systems are again tested. When you take delivery of
your new trailer you will receive a complete check out.
Silver Key Delivery does not stop here. At that time a specified list of performance checks on your trailer equipment
will be conducted and any deficiencies you have experienced since taking delivery will be corrected.
Please contact your dealer if you need service. Major service under your Airstream Limited Warranty is available
through our nationwide network of Airstream Dealer Service Centers. An up-to-date list of Dealer Service Centers
has been provided with your new trailer. This list is current as of the date of this publication.
