INTERIOR
The luxurious interior of your Airstream motorhome has been designed for comfort,
convenience, durability and appearance. An understanding of the operational pro-
cedures and maintenance techniques of the interior appointments will add to your
pleasures, as well as to the long life of your motorhome.
Lounges
To convert the sofas into a beds grasp the front edge of the seat, raise and pull it to-
ward the aisle of the motorhome. The backrest will slide down into place automatically.
Some sofas require pulling the armrest straight up and out of their bracket first.
Rear Bed
The bed top raises to reveal the engine cover for access to top of the engine. Gas rod
props assist the bed top raising. The engine cover latches to the bottom of the bed
top.
WARNING : The lifting and supporting strength of the gas props vary
according to temperature. Props that support the bed top when hot may let the
bed close rapidly when cold.
Recliners
The recliners supplied with the motorhome have side levers that can swivel, lock, or
recline the chair according to which chair was ordered with your coach.
CAUTION : Rotating the chair when it’s slid back against the wall can damage
the upholstery. Position the chair so it isn’t chafing when in transit.
Vinyl Floor
The vinyl floor in your unit can be cleaned with liquid floor cleaning solutions recom-
mended for vinyl floors and warm water.
Blinds
The blinds in your motorhome are standard household blinds. They may be raised
or lowered by the pull string on the left side and opened by twisting the handle on
the right side. Clean with a soft cloth lightly moistened with warm water and mild
soap. We recommend leaving the blinds down and closed when the motorhome is
not being used.
Dinette Table
The dinette is hinged to the wall and is supported by one folding table leg. To make
into a bed, the front of the table is lifted slightly and the leg is then folded up against
the bottom of the tabletop. The pressurized piston will hold it into place. Raising the
front of the table leaf further allows it to be unhooked from the wall. The leaf will then
swing out and down onto the support ledges on the front of the dinette seat. The
backrests are then laid on the table leaf to complete the bed. On units with a freestand-
ing dinette, be sure to secure the dinette chairs to the dinette table support using the
fabric straps.
