Power Awning
Complete operating instructions have been provided
with your awning� Make sure your traveling companion
is familiar with the operation of the awning�
The awning’s primary function is sun protection� It is
not water proof, therefore, roll up your awning in case
of heavy rain, wind, or snow� To prevent water buildup
on the awning during a light rain, position one upper
arm lower than the other to create enough of a slope
for adequate water runoff�
Clear tape is placed between the exterior skin and the
awning fabric to prevent the awning fabric from rubbing
on the coating, thus wearing through it� Inspect the
tape every year or after a long trip� Have it replaced if it
begins to wear thin�
LED light strips have been installed with your awning
providing accent lighting� The LED lights are operated
by a dimmer switch located just inside the entry door�
Units with power awnings installed have a power
awning lock switch located on the awning control
panel� When ON this switch will disconnect the power
to the awning� Airstream recommends the awning lock
switch be turned ON while traveling� If the 7-way plug is
connected the power awning will automatically lockout
the first time the tow vehicles brakes are applied.
NOTE
If wind or extended periods of rain are expected,
roll up the awning and secure in traveling position.
CAUTION
The effects of wind and rain on any awning are
unpredictable. Severe damage to the trailer and/or
the awning may result and cannot be covered by
warranty.
Exterior Shower
International units are equipped with an exterior
shower� This shower consists of a shower hose,
shower head, and water valve inside of a lockable
exterior door� Water is supplied by the pump or city
water hookup�
City Water Hookup
The city water hook-up is located on the side of the
trailer. For consistent water flow and plumbing line
safety, an in-line regulator limits pressure to 50 psi�
Use a tasteless, odorless, non-toxic, high-pressure
hose of at least 1/2-in� diameter designed for RV use�
The city water inlet is a standard garden hose thread�
We suggest you carry two lengths of hose in order to
reach hookups farther away than normal, as well as to
have a spare�
After hooking up the hose and turning on the city
water valve provided in the park, slowly open a faucet�
There will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all
the air is expelled from the trailer system� If the water
heater is empty, it will take some time before all the air
is expelled and a steady flow of water occurs at the
faucet. Once a steady flow is achieved at one faucet,
the others should be opened long enough to expel the
air in the lines going to them�
Your plumbing system has a built-in pressure regulator
to protect your lines and faucets from extremely high
pressures on some city water systems�
