Awnings
Complete instructions have been provided with your awning. You should make
sure your traveling companion is familiar with the operation of the awning. If a
sudden wind should come up, or if high wind is forecast, the awning should
be retracted, stowed and travel locks engaged. Awnings should be extended
at an angle to encourage the run off of rain. Awning damage such as a bent
tube, torn canvas, or broken arms due to high winds or water standing on the
canvas are not covered by warranty. Use the center support bar if your patio
awning is so equipped.
Warning
: Travel locks on all awnings must be engaged before
traveling.
Chassis
The standard RECOMMENDED HITCH BALL HEIGHT for your Airstream is
listed in the “Specifications” section of this manual. If you plan long trips with
the trailer heavily loaded, you should check your trailer, after loading, to deter-
mine the optimum height. To check, park the trailer on a level surface and crank
the front jack up or down until the measurement from the frame to the ground
is the same front and rear. Measure from the ground to the upper surface of the
hitch ball coupler. Add one inch to this figure when setting the ball height on the
tow vehicle to allow for the suspension settling under the added weight.
Warning
: ALWAYS OPEN LATCH HANDLE BEFORE INSERTING
BALL.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. To open - slide forward and pull up to open latch before
inserting ball
2. Place coupler on ball of same diameter as coupler and of

4. Extend jack to ground and lift car/trailer combination
2-4” to insure coupler is securely attached to tow ball.
Retract jack before towing.

tion.
