Shower Head
The shower head is designed to give maximum
flexibility in usage, and provides for water-saving
techniques when using your touring coach on self-
containment� It can be held in the hand and moved
about the body� Normally, the best water conservation
procedure is to wet the entire body and then turn the
water off� Apply soap, lather thoroughly, and then rinse
the soap off�
Retractable Clothesline
A retractable clothesline is installed for your
convenience in the shower stall� To use, pull the
line from the base and attach it to the holder on the
opposite wall� Turning the nut on the base will tighten
the line�
Toilet
The touring coach toilet in your Airstream is a design
that has been used for many years�
To flush, press the foot pedal, holding the pedal down
until all solids have cleared� To add water press the
pedal halfway�
NOTE
When you dump the bowl of the toilet, make
sure all paper and solids have cleared the slide
mechanism before you allow it to close. Failure
to do so can cause the groove for the slide to
become jammed and the slide will no longer close
completely.
Please see the toilet owner’s/user manual for warranty,
user tips, and maintenance information�
Deodorizers and Biological Chemicals
There are many deodorizers and processing chemicals
on the market in tablet, liquid, and powder form� These
not only combat odor, but also stimulate the bacteria
that works to dissolve the solids and tissues in your
waste tank� These chemicals should be introduced
through the toilet prior to use per the manufacturers
directions� It’s also important to always add a few
gallons of water by filling the toilet bowl a few times
and depressing the foot pedal�
Rubber backing on doormats may result in yellow
discoloration of the floor immediately beneath. Choose
a natural fiber mat. Mats provided by Airstream are
intended for use outside of the travel trailer� Rubber
feet on furniture may cause staining� Remove them
altogether or place coasters or felt pads between them
and the floor.
CAUTION
Remember to protect the area around your flooring
if using a bleach solution. Other fabrics may have
an adverse reaction to cleaners containing bleach.
NOTE
The use of certain cleaning agents, including but
not limited to powdered abrasives, solvents, and
industrial strength cleaners is not recommended.
Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Check that the cleaner/polish is suitable for use
with cushioned vinyl floor coverings.
Privacy Sun Shade
Privacy shades are provided for the front windshield
and driver/passenger cab windows� The shades have
magnets sewn into them that attach to the van�
Light brushing with an upholstery brush or gentle use
of a vacuum cleaner will suffice in most situations. For
heavy soiled conditions dry clean only� Washing the
shades may void the warranty�
Wet Bath
To clean your fiberglass shower stall unit, use warm
water and a liquid detergent� Do not use abrasive
cleaners; they may scratch and dull the surface of your
fiberglass unit. Stubborn stains can be removed with
solvents such as turpentine, paint thinner, or acetone�
Restore dulled areas by rubbing with an automotive-
type liquid cleaner, and then put the soft glow back
into the sides of your unit with a light application of
liquid wax� DO NOT wax the shower bottom as it may
become slippery leading to a fall�
CAUTION
Applying wax to the base of the shower floor is
not recommended, as this could create an unsafe
surface.
