AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS
INTERIOR
The luxurious interior of your Airstream motorhome has been designed for comfort, convenience,
durability and appearance. An understanding of the operational procedures and maintenance
techniques of the interior appointments will add to your pleasures, as well as to the long life of
your motorhome.
Lounges
To convert the Deluxe Sofa into a bed, pull straight up and remove armrest, grasp the front edge
of the seat, raise and pull it toward the aisle of the motorhome. The backrest will slide down into
place automatically.
Swivel Chairs
The chairs have two adjustments. One lever will allow the chair to rotate. The other lever lets the
chair slide forward and back.
CAUTION
: Rotating the chair when it's slid back against the wall can damage the
upholstery. Position the chair so it isn't chafing when in transit.
CAUTION
: Never remove cushion cover for separate cleaning or washing. Any tumble
cleaning method can destroy the backing, shrink or otherwise damage upholstery.
Shades
The main door shade is operated in the same manner as most Venetian blinds. Pulling down on
the tab lowers the shade and it will catch on its own. A slight pull downward will release the
shade and it can slowly be returned to the open position.
Day-Night shades are lowered and raised by the bars running across the shade. Grasp in the
center of the bottom bar or place hands evenly on the bar. Pull the bottom bar down to the lower
sill. A center bar with small handles can be lowered (night) or raised (day). Rough roads and long
trips may cause the pleated shades to come down slightly during travel. Tensions on the strings at
the sides of the shades adjust the ease of operation and their ability to stay up during travel. Do
not over-tighten as this may cause the string to break, requiring service.
A feather duster, or the soft-bristled brush often found as part of vacuum cleaner attachments, are
recommended for cleaning the blinds and pleated shades. The longevity of the pleated shades will
be increased if the shades are in the up position when your vehicle is stored.
