Main Door
NOTICE : When towing, the door lock and dead bolt must be secured. If it is not
locked, the constant vibration of travel may cause the door to open with possible
damage.
Screen Door
The screen door secures to the main door by means of a slide bolt type latch. It can
be operated independently by releasing the slide bolt and swinging the screen door
away from the main door.
Step
To operate the step, lift up on the latch bar and the step will drop down.
WARNING: Once the steps are lowered, press down on them to make sure they are
secure in their notches.
NOTICE: Never travel with step lowered or extended
Exterior Windows
The windows in your trailer are safety glass. To open: release the two lever locks at
the bottom, lift up on the two side operator handles until the window is in the desired
position, and place the operators into one of the three positioning slots on the side of
the frame. To lock the windows reverse this position
Note: Some windows are designed as an emergency escape exits. The rubber Spline
holding the screen in place is looped so it can be pulled out in one swift motion.
You and all your family should practice escape procedures so they can be rapidly
accomplished even in total darkness.
WARNING : Never park your trailer so the escape windows cannot be
easily used for emergency exits.
Clean your trailer windows the same way you clean the windows in your home. Clean
the seals with a damp cloth or mild detergent every three to six months, taking care
not to use strong solvents, as they will damage the seals. A coat of natural silicone
lubricant applied after the seal has dried will keep it flexible. Spread the lubricant
evenly with a brush or finger, working it into the surface.
This is a good practice for all rubber seals in your trailer. For replacement of a damaged
window contact an Airstream Service Center.
Your PLASTIC SCREENS are easy to maintain. Clean occasionally with a damp cloth.
NOTICE: They will melt at the point of contact if touched by a cigarette.
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
and stowed.
