AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER
C-4
Making a long trip in your
Airstream is not very different
from making a weekend
excursion. Since everything
you need is right at hand, you
are at home wherever you go.
When packing for an extended
trip take everything you need,
but only what you need.
When you plan to stay in the
same place for several days,
weeks or months, you will
want your trailer to be as level
and steady as possible. Check
the attitude with a small spirit
level set on the inside work counter or the trailer hitch "A-Frame". (See Diagram Below) If a correction is
necessary then YOU MUST LEVEL FROM SIDE TO SIDE FIRST This can he done easily by backing the
trailer up one or more 2" x 6" boards. (See Diagram) We do not recommend placing tires in a hole for
leveling.
LEVEL FROM FRONT TO REAR by disconnecting the hitch from the tow vehicle, putting the jack pad
under the hitch jack and adjusting the jack up or down until you are level. Block or chock the wheels to
keep the trailer from rolling. Use STABILIZING JACKS at all four corners as shown in the diagram to
eliminate the natural spring action of the axles.
Optional STABILIZING JACKS, whether manual or
power, should only be used to stabilize trailer.
WARNING
: Whenever the trailer must be lifted with a jack, as when changing a tire
or leveling on very rough terrain, ALWAYS PLACE THE LIFTING JACK UNDER THE MAIN
FRAME RAIL. A label is provided to indicate the proper position for the jack. NEVER USE
STABILIZING JACKS TO LIFT THE TRAILER.
