Battery/12-Volt System Information
The major portion of electrical power in your
Airstream is 12-volt� The 12-volt current powers all
gas appliances for controls and/or ignition as well as
lighting� An exception would be the range which has its
own ignition source�
All 12-volt current comes through the battery system
in the front of your trailer� The batteries are accessible
in the battery box on the A-frame of your trailer� Power
from the batteries goes to a set of Type 2 thermal
breakers� The breakers are tied together by a brass
bus bar� One breaker (30 amp) protects the 12-volt
tow vehicle charge line coming from the 7-way cord�
Another breaker (20 amp) feeds the trailer brakes
breakaway switch located near the hitch coupler� A
50-amp breaker feeds the battery disconnect relay�
The current leaves the relay and travels to the 12-volt
distribution panel, located in the converter, and then
to the rest of the trailer� Open the decorative door on
the front of the converter to access the panel and its
fuses� A 12-volt layout diagram is shown in Section 8 -
Maintenance�
If you replace a blown fuse and it immediately blows
again, do not replace the fuse again until a qualified
service technician can correct the problem�
If the replacement fuse holds for a week or more and
the gap in the fusible metal is barely melted apart, this
usually indicates an overload condition� Reducing the
number of lights or appliances used on that particular
circuit at the same time could prevent any further fuse
failure�
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for important battery
maintenance information�

Faucet Cleaning and Care
All that is needed to clean your faucet is a soft, damp
cloth� Airstream does not recommend the use of scour
pads, cleansers, or chemicals� The abrasive nature of
these substances could damage the faucet’s finish. A
non-abrasive car wax will help to protect the finish.
