AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS 

 

Automatic Energy Select Switch (AESS) 

Located in the trunk area.

 

Front a/c is priority. Rear a/c will cool, if cool mode is selected, when front a/c has 
finished its cooling process. Front a/c will come back on as its thermostat detects the need 
to cool and the rear a/c will shut off. A/C fan (powered by 12-volt) on both units will run 
even if the other is cooling on the 120-volt circuit. Turn front a/c to fan or off to run rear 
a/c only.
