INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION
The Owner’s Manual for your new Airstream Touring
Coach is designed to respond to the most frequent
inquiries regarding the operation, function, and care of
the many systems that make modern motorhoming a
joy.
The Airstream Touring Coach is integrated into
a Sprinter Van, designed and manufactured by
Mercedes-Benz. Operation of the Sprinter, its engine,
power train, and other related components are
discussed in the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Operator’s
Manual and other literature provided by Mercedes-
Benz. Those systems discussed in the Sprinter
literature are warranted by Mercedes-Benz or their
suppliers.
Airstream realizes our customers possess varying
degrees of expertise in the area of maintaining and
repairing the appliances in their touring coach. For this
reason, the service and trouble-shooting information
found in this manual is directed toward those with
average mechanical skills. We also realize you may be
more familiar in one area than you are in 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 helpful; however, should
you ever feel you may be “getting in over your head,”
please see your dealer to have the repairs made.
The operation and care of component parts such as,
refrigerator, heating and hot water system 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

techniques are developed that can improve the quality
of its product, or when material substitutions are
necessary due to availability.

messages.
