Shoreline Power Supply
The power cord hookup is located on the side of the
trailer. The cord may be stored in the rear exterior
compartment. The power cord is plugged into the trailer
receptacle and the City Power Service.
NOTE
Use only power cords recommended by Airstream.
Many campgrounds provide less than 30 amp service,
and your hookup may blow their fuse or circuit breaker.
If this happens, reduce the load and replace the fuse or
reset the breaker.
Axle and Running Gear Assembly
Each rubber torsion axle is aligned during
manufacturing, and double-checked on a random
basis. Alignment after delivery is the customer’s
responsibility.
Hitting chuck holes or rough railroad tracks while
traveling straight will only cause misalignment after
the tire has struck such objects many times. Of
course, a deep enough hole can affect the alignment
immediately.
The worse culprit is a curb because they are normally
struck at an angle. Rear axles are occasionally
damaged when people are attempting to park beside a
curb while backing up their trailer.
The trailer axle(s) is bent upward in the middle. This
bend is normal and is how the camber is obtained.
Also, toe-in is built into the axle by very slight bends in
the axle tube on each end.
Tire wear indicates misalignment. Check with your
dealer for the nearest location having the proper
equipment to correct the trailer’s alignment.
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for camber and toe-in
specifications.
Hitch/Coupler
Operating Instructions
The EZ-Latch coupler features a simple-to-use latching
mechanism. Hooking up is as easy as dropping the
coupler on to your hitch ball. Simply make sure that the
coupler is properly lined up with the ball, then lower
the coupler. The coupler will automatically open and
latch into place when lowered onto the hitch ball. To
disengage coupler, pull up on latch and raise coupler
off of hitch ball. Return the coupler latch to the latched
position to ensure that coupler is ready to be latched
again. The coupler features a strong composite
handle, If the handle does get damaged or becomes
missing, the coupler is still completely operational
until the handle can be replaced. Replacement parts
can be purchased through your Airstream Dealer. See
additional information included in your owner’s packet.
WARNING
Always make sure coupler is properly attached and
latched before towing.
WARNING
Always use a 2-5/16” ball for your hitch. An
improperly sized ball can decouple — which could
result in either a serious accident and/or extensive
damage.
