Note: Review the air conditioning literature supplied in your Owner’s Packet before
proceeding,
The roof air conditioner used on Airstream trailers is one of the most popular on the
market today. In your Owner’s Packet is a set of literature covering all operating and
maintenance instructions. If the literature is misplaced please contact the air condi-
tioner manufacturer or your Airstream dealer for replacement.
The voltage to the air conditioner is critical. We commonly refer to 110 or 120 volts,
but a check with a voltmeter may find voltage much lower. Your air conditioner will
probably not function if the current drops below 105 volts. Low voltage is usually as-
sociated with older or poorly maintained trailer parks, but many people have found
their homes, built only twenty or thirty years ago, may not be capable of operating
the air conditioner on some receptacles, Parking your trailer so the power cord can
be plugged into a receptacle close to the fuse or circuit breaker box can alleviate the
problem. Avoid extension cords and adapters whenever possible. If an extension cord
must be used it should be as short and heavy as possible to provide the most current
to the air conditioner.
If high temperatures are expected, make an effort to park in a shaded area. Starting
the air conditioner early in the morning also helps. It is much easier to hold a comfort-
able temperature than it is to lower the temperature after the interior of the trailer is
already hot.
