WARNING
: The operation manual for all appliances is included with the
owner’s packet. Their manuals may contain specialized warnings and cautions
specific to your appliances that should be reviewed prior to operating the appli-
ance. If a manual is missing and has not been provided with your trailer, contact
the appliance manufacturer, your Airstream Dealer, or Airstream Customer
Service to obtain it.
WARNING
: Most LP gas appliances used in recreational vehicles are
vented to the outside of the vehicle. When parked close to a gasoline pump, it
is possible that gasoline fumes could enter this type of appliance and ignite the
burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE OR AN EXPLOSION.
Maintenance : Follow the instructions and warnings noted in the appliances and
equipment owner’s manuals as well as the ones listed below:
Annual maintenance should be conducted on propane gas appliances and
equipment by an authorized dealer or repair facility.
Insects can build nests in the burners of various appliances and equipment. The
burner and burner orifice of the propane gas appliances and equipment should
be cleaned out by an authorized dealer or repair facility anytime circumstances or
conditions warrant., but no less than on an annual basis.

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 please contact the air condi-
tioner manufacturer or your Airstream dealer for replacement.
The voltage to the air conditioner is critical. We commonly refer to 110 or 120 volts,
but a check with a voltmeter may find voltage much lower. Your air conditioner will
probably not function if the current drops below 105 volts. Low voltage is usually as-
sociated with older or poorly maintained trailer parks, but many people have found
their homes, built only twenty or thirty years ago, may not be capable of operating
the air conditioner on some receptacles, Parking your trailer so the power cord can
be plugged into a receptacle close to the fuse or circuit breaker box can alleviate the
problem. 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
to the air conditioner.
If high temperatures are expected, you should make an effort to park in a shaded area.
Starting the air conditioner early in the morning also helps. It is much easier to hold
a comfortable temperature than it is to lower the temperature after the interior of the
trailer is already hot.
