INTRODUCTION

The

Owners Manual for your new Airstream trailer is designed to respond to

the most frequent inquiries regarding the operation, function and care of the

many systems that make modern trailering a joy.

Airstream realizes our customers possess varying degrees of expertise in the

area of repairing and maintaining the appliances in their trailer. For this reason,

the service and trouble-shooting information found in this manual is directed

toward those with average mechanical skills.

We also realize you may be more familiar in one area than you are in another.

Only you know your capabilities and limitations. We want you to use this

manual, and hope you will find the information contained in it useful, however,

should you ever feel you may be “getting in over your head” please see your

dealer to have the repairs made.

A brief explanation of the operation of the appliances such as refrigerator,

furnace, water heater and others are explained in this manual. However, you

will also find the manufacturer’s information supplied in a packet included

with this manual more detailed.

All information, illustrations and specifications contained in this manual are based

on the latest product information available at the time of publication approval. If

and when new materials and production techniques are developed which can
