Maintenance
Follow the instructions and Warnings noted in the
respective appliance and equipment owner’s manuals,
as well as those mentioned below�
Annual maintenance should be conducted on propane
gas appliances and equipment by an authorized dealer
or repair facility�
Insects can build nests in the burners of various
appliances and equipment� The burner and burner
orifice of the propane gas appliances and equipment
should be cleaned by an authorized dealer or repair
facility any time circumstances or conditions warrant,
but no less than on an annual basis�
NOTE
Airstream recommends shutting off the gas supply
at the LPG tanks before refueling the tow vehicle or
entering a refueling station.
WARNING
Most LPG appliances used in recreational vehicles
are vented to the outside of the vehicle. When
parked close to a gasoline pump, it is possible that
gasoline fumes could enter this type of appliance
and ignite from the burner flame, CAUSING A FIRE
OR AN EXPLOSION.
WARNING
For additional Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) safety
and warning information, refer to Section 2 - Safety
and Section 6 - Exterior of this manual.
Air Conditioner
The roof A/C used on Airstream Touring Coach’s
are one of the most popular on the market today� In
your owner’s packet is a set of literature covering all
operating and maintenance instructions� If the literature
is misplaced, contact the A/C manufacturer or your
Airstream dealer for replacement�
Proper voltage to the A/C is critical� A volt meter
check may find voltage much lower at a campground
shoreline outlet than the needed 110 to 120 volts� Your
A/C may not function if the current drops below 105
volts� Low voltage is usually associated with older or
poorly maintained motorhome parks� Parking your
touring coach so the power cord can be plugged in to a
receptacle close to the fuse or circuit breaker box can
alleviate low voltage problems� Avoid extension cords
and adapters whenever possible� If an extension cord
must be used, it should be rated at 30 amps and as
short as possible to provide the most current�
If high temperatures are expected, make an effort
to park in a shaded area� Starting the A/C early in
the morning also helps. It is more efficient to hold
a comfortable temperature than it is to lower the
temperature after the interior of the touring coach is
already hot�
NOTE
Review the air conditioning literature supplied in
your owner’s packet before proceeding.
Exhaust Fans
In the bathroom, round ventilators are used and are
opened by pushing straight up on the crossbar handle
and pressing the red switch to engage the fan motor�
High Volume Roof Vent
The high-volume roof vent system is designed to
quickly exhaust stale, hot air and draw in fresh air� It
is great to use when the outside temperature does not
call for air conditioning, but heat has built up in your
touring coach� The core of the system is a powerful
rotary fan that works with a slightly open window to
create a balanced airflow. It is designed for maximum
air exchange, minimum sound levels and power
consumption� Fresh, clean, natural air is pulled in� Hot,
stale, stuffy air is pushed out�
The controls for the roof vent have been incorporated
into the Multiplex System� The vent lid can be opened
or closed by pressing the UP/DOWN arrow buttons
on any of the multiplex touch screen control panels
located in the front or rear of the touring coach� Select
the desired fan speed of either; low, medium, or high�
