Stainless Steel Rock Guards
Stainless steel rock guards protect the front end from
road debris� You can clean behind the rock guards by
swinging them forward on their hinges� They are locked
in place with two acorn-style nuts, removable with a
7/16” wrench�
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 rain, wind, or snow�
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 OFF this switch will disconnect the power
to the awning� Airstream recommends the awning lock
switch be turned OFF while traveling�
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.
Gravity Water Fill
The gravity water fill is located on the side of the trailer,
behind a locked compartment. It is used to fill the fresh
water tank with potable water� A small vent is located
next to the port to allow air to expel from the tank as it
is filled.
Fill the water tank by inserting a high-pressure RV/
Marine FDA approved drinking water hose of at least
½-in� diameter made from material that is tasteless,
odorless, and non-toxic� It’s a good idea to let the water
run through the hose for a short time to flush it out.
RVers sometimes fill their tanks with “home” water to
avoid strange water that may be distasteful to them on
short outings� Remember, the more water you carry in
the fresh water tank, the less cargo carrying capacity
you have for other items� The amount of water in the
tank may be checked on the Monitor Panel�
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,
