DANGER: SUFFOCATION HAZARD
Any tent or shelter must be
properly ventilated in all weather conditions to allow sufficient airflow into and
out of the tent. If airflow into and out of a structure is obstructed (for example, if
heavy snow obstructs the air flow) you and other persons will suffer from lack of
oxygen and suffocate, resulting in death, serious injury, or permanent disability.
For these reasons:
DO clear snow or other materials away from a tent frequently.
DO NOT use stoves, heaters, grills, lanterns, candles, or other fuel-burning
devices inside or near a tent (SEE CARBON MONOXIDE WARNING ABOVE).
Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent
disability to you or others.
DANGER: SEVERE WEATHER HAZARD:
In some climactic condi-
tions (for example, severe storms, high winds, or heavy snow cover), stakes and
guy cords may not be sufficient to anchor a tent securely, which could result
in the carport being picked up or blown away, causing death, serious injury, or
permanent disability. Under such conditions:
DO use supplemental means to securely anchor the tent, for example, snow
pegs, skis, and/or heavy rocks or other heavy objects.
DO seek appropriate shelter, for example, in a house, cabin, building, or
secure structure other than a tent.
Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent
disability to you or others.
DANGER: PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN:
Children will not under-
stand and appreciate the FIRE, CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING, SUFFOCATION,
AND SEVERE WEATHER hazards described above and will not know how to avoid

Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or permanent
disability to you or others.
WARNING: WIND HAZARD
I
n windy conditions, stakes, guy cords,
and roof attachments may not be strong enough to hold the tent securely to the
ground or your Trailer, which could result in death, serious injury, or permanent
disability to the user and serious damage to your vehicle. If such conditions
exist:
DO use supplemental means to anchor the shelter such as rocks or sand
bags.
DO attach the tent securely to your BaseCamp trailer following the included
instructions.
DO NOT use tent in cases of strong winds.
DO take the tent down if hazardous conditions exist.
Your failure to follow this warning could cause death, serious injury, or permanent
disability to you or others.
CAUTION
DO attach tent directly to Airstream® BaseCamp trailer only.
DO save and keep instructions for future use.
DO remove tent from trailer prior to moving the trailer.
DO NOT move trailer while tent is attached.
Your failure to follow these warnings may cause permanent damage to your
