Stabilizing jacks or blocks may not be required for an overnight 
stay. However, if you put the jack pad on the hitch jack and 
run the hitch jack down to take the weight off the tow vehicle’s 
springs, it will provide some stability. If you must park on a slope, 
park facing downhill. It is easier to level the trailer this way.

All you need to do to enjoy the self-contained luxury of 
your Airstream is to turn on the LPG and switch the trailer’s 
“disconnect” switch to the “On” position.

Before continuing on your trip, check your campsite for 
cleanliness and to be sure you haven’t left anything behind. Turn 
off the gas supply. Switch the trailer’s “disconnect” switch to the 
“Off” position. Make certain everything is properly stowed. And 
finally, consult your pre-travel check list.

Extended Stay

Making a long trip in your Airstream is not very different from 
making a weekend excursion. Since everything you need is right 
at hand, you are at home wherever you go. When packing for an 
extended trip, take everything you need, but only what you need.

When you plan to stay in the same place for several days, weeks 
or months, you will want your trailer to be as level and steady as 
possible. Check the attitude with a small spirit level set on the 
inside work counter or the trailer hitch A-frame (see diagram that 
follows under Leveling). If a correction is necessary, you must 
level from side-to-side first. This can be done easily by backing 
the trailer up onto one or more 2 x 6 boards (see diagram that 
follows under Leveling). We do not recommend placing tires in a 
hole for leveling.

Leveling

Level from front to rear: 1) block or chock the wheels to keep the 
trailer from rolling; 2) place the jack pad or caster wheel under 
the hitch jack; 3) disconnect the hitch, safety cables, breakaway 
switch cable and wiring harness from the tow vehicle; 4) adjust 
the jack up or down until you  are level. Then use the stabilizing 
jacks at all four corners, as shown in the diagram, to eliminate 
the natural spring action of the axles.

Refer to Section 8 — Maintenance for further information on 
jacking.

WARNING

At each campsite, make sure you have not parked 

in such a manner as to block the operation of the 

escape window by being too close to trees, fences 

or other impediments  to egress. 

Scenic views are one reason for traveling,  but 

don’t park so the beautiful lake or steep cliff is just 

outside your escape window.

WARNING

Stabilizing jacks for stabilizing ONLY.  

Do not use jacks to lift the trailer.

WARNING

Whenever the trailer must be lifted with a jack, as 

when changing a tire, always place the lifting jack 

under the main frame rail.  A label is provided to 

indicate the proper position for the jack. Never use 

stabilizing jacks to lift the trailer.
