AIRSTREAM 360 XC LAND YACHT OWNERS MANUAL  

INTRODUCTION  

 
The Owners Manual for your new Airstream Motorhome is designed to respond to the most frequent 
inquiries regarding the operation, function and care of the many systems that make modern motor homing a 
joy.  
 
Airstream realizes our customers possess varying degrees of expertise in the area of repairing and 
maintaining the appliances in their motorhome. 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.

should you ever feel you may be "getting in over your head" please see your dealer to have the repairs 
made.

are explained in this manual. However, you will also find the manufacturer's information supplied in a 
packet included with this manual.  
 
All information, illustrations and specifications contained in the literature are based on the latest product
