To clean the white fiberglass surfaces in your shower
stall, use warm water and one of the stronger
liquid detergents� Do not use abrasive cleaners as
they may scratch and dull the surface of your 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, then, put the soft glow back into your unit with
a light application of liquid wax�
CAUTION
Applying wax to the shower floor is not
recommended as this could create a slippery and
unsafe surface.
Shower Head
The shower head is designed to give maximum
flexibility in usage, and provides for water-saving
techniques when using your trailer 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

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�
Dinette Tables
Installation

curbside bench and pull the tabletops out from
behind the bungee cords�
3� Find the T-bolts on the bottom of each leg and turn

Vinyl Flooring
General Cleaning
Use a soft broom to sweep the floor. A vacuum cleaner
may damage the flooring, especially the type that use
beater bars� In most cases, a clean damp cloth or mop
will suffice to clean dirty flooring. When necessary, a
solution of mild detergent or domestic floor cleaning
emulsion can be used to clean the flooring. Do not use
a wire brush or nylon scouring pads, furniture polish,
spirit-based polish, powder or liquid abrasive cleaners,
bleach or other strong detergents� Scuffs, dirt, and
spillages should be cleaned up as soon as possible�
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.
Protecting Your Floor From Physical Damage
For spirit-based products such as shoe polish,
solvents, hair dye, and permanent marker pens, wipe
up spots and marks as quickly as possible� This also
applies to mustard and strongly colored foodstuffs�
Corrosive substances such as acid and alkaline
solutions can damage the surface of the floor. Clean up
any spills quickly and carefully avoiding direct contact
with the substance� Wear protective clothing such
as gloves when doing so� Bitumen/tar from freshly
resurfaced or melted roads and pathways, and some
inexpensive rubber shoe and slipper soles can cause
stains� The above materials are likely to cause damage
but are not considered restrictive�
Shower Stall
The Tinted Paper Terrazzo laminate found on the
interior walls of your shower contains small fragments
of post-production solid color paper that would
otherwise have gone to waste� Each surface is unique
and made from 30% reclaimed material� The exterior is
Formica laminate�
Clean the interior and exterior laminate surfaces of the
shower stall with a clean, damp, non-abrasive cotton
cloth and a mild liquid detergent or household cleaner�
Rinse with clean water and dry the surface with a soft,
clean, non-abrasive cotton cloth�
Never use cleaners containing acid or alkali on
laminates� These cleaners will damage laminate
surfaces� Also, make sure that bottles, rags, and
