Ceiling Vent Fan
The high-volume roof vent system is designed to
quickly exhaust stale, hot air and draw in fresh air� It
is great to use when the outside temperature does not
call for air conditioning, but heat has built up in your
trailer�
The core of the system is a powerful rotary fan that
works with a slightly open window to create a balanced
airflow. It is designed for maximum air exchange,
minimum sound levels and power consumption� Fresh,
clean, natural air is pulled in� Hot, stale, stuffy air is
pushed out�
NOTE
Never cover the ceiling fans. This will greatly
restrict airflow and increase sound levels.
Operation
1� Open dome approximately 3 in� or more (ceiling fan
has a built-in safety switch that will not allow motor
to operate unless dome is partially open)�
2� Turn 3-speed knob to desired performance level
(3-Low, 2-Medium, 1-High, O-Off)�
3� Open window(s) or door for airflow.
The source of airflow is determined by the number of
window(s) or door opened� For best results, close all
roof vents and open one window that is the greatest
distance from the ceiling fan�
Cleaning Instructions
1� Turn fan motor off�
2� Remove the screws around perimeter of screen
insert only�
3� Clean screen with soap and water solution, dab dry
with a soft cloth, and reinstall�

Please refer to the user’s manual provided in your
owner’s packet for more information.
Air Conditioner
The roof air conditioner used on Airstream trailers
is one of the most popular on the market today� In
your owner’s packet is a set of literature covering all
operating and maintenance instructions� If the literature
is misplaced, contact the air conditioner manufacturer
or your Airstream dealer for replacement�
Proper voltage to the air conditioner is critical� A
voltmeter check may find voltage much lower at a
campground shoreline outlet than the needed 110 to
120 volts� Low voltage is usually associated with older
or poorly maintained trailer parks� Parking your trailer
so the power cord can be plugged into a receptacle
close to the fuse or circuit breaker box can alleviate low
voltage problems� Avoid extension cords and adapters
whenever possible� If an extension cord must be used,
it should be as short and heavy as possible to provide
the most current�
If high temperatures are expected, make an effort to
park in a shaded area� Starting the air conditioner
early in the morning also helps. It is more efficient to
hold a comfortable temperature than it is to lower the
temperature after the interior of the trailer is already
hot�
Never run your air conditioner with the vents closed�
Doing so could cause the air conditioner to freeze
and may damage to the unit� The manufacturer
recommends having at least 3 vents open when
running to prevent any chance of freezing up
NOTE
Review the air conditioning literature supplied in
your owner’s packet before proceeding.
Cooktop
There is little difference between the operation
of home gas ranges and the trailer’s cooktop� If,
however, you are used to an electric range, operating
confidence can be quickly gained by reading the
manufacturer’s directions provided in the owner’s
packet� Manufacturer’s service and parts manuals are
also available�
WARNING
An operation manual for the cooktop has been
provided with your owner’s packet. If this has not
been provided with your trailer, contact the listed
manufacturer to obtain. Their manual contains
specialized warnings and cautions that should be
reviewed prior to operating the appliance.
