to an Airstream trailer, more than thirty (30) days after:
(1) expiration of the twenty-four (24) month Limited
Warranty period; or (2) expiration of the ten (10) day

Explanation Of Airstream Limited Warranty
The Airstream Limited Warranty is detailed on a
Warranty Card. It is filled out by the dealer and
presented to the owner during delivery of a new unit
The Limited Warranty must be presented to a dealer to
obtain warranty service It should be kept in the trailer
during the warranty period
Exclusions
Normal Wear
Items such as curtains, upholstery, floor coverings,
window, door, and vent seals will show wear or may
even wear out within the 2 year warranty period,
depending upon the amount of usage, weather, and
atmospheric conditions
Accident
We strongly urge our dealers and customers to inspect
the trailer upon receipt of delivery for any damage
caused by accident while being delivered to the dealer,
or while it is on the dealer’s lot Damage of this nature
becomes the dealer or customer’s responsibility upon
acceptance of delivery, unless Airstream is notified
and the person making the delivery verifies the
damage glass breakage, whether obviously struck or
mysterious, is always accidental and covered by most
insurance policies
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
It is the responsibility of the owner to take such
preventative measures as are necessary to maintain
the exterior caulking and sealer of your unit It is the
responsibility of the owner to use reasonable, prudent
care to prevent foreseeable secondary damage from
rain, plumbing leaks, and the natural accumulation
of moisture in your unit, such as a delaminated floor;
stained upholstery, carpeting, or drapes; mold formation
and growth; furniture damage, etc Mold is a natural
growth, given certain environmental conditions, and is
not covered by the terms of the Limited Warranty
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 axle is manufactured to a tolerance of 1-degree
camber and 1/8 in 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, of 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
