INTERIOR
The counter areas around the sink are of a high-
pressure laminate or Corian and can be cleaned with
soap and water, or you can use a common solvent
on tough spots. Be sure no abrasive cleaner is used,
as there is the possibility it could scratch the surface.
A protective pad should always be placed under hot
utensils. Sanding minor damaged areas can repair
Corian counters. The color of the material is constant
and not just a surface coat.
Vinyl Covering and Interior Ceiling
Damp wiping with mild detergent does routine
cleaning. Using any of the automotive cleaners
designed for vinyl car seats and dashes can perform
more thorough cleaning.
Sinks
The stainless steel galley sink can be cleaned with a
commercial stainless steel cleaner available at most
stores. The lavatory sink is a very dense material called
KARRAN. In the unlikely event of it ever being stained
powdered cleansers such as Ajax/Comet may be
used or even Scotch-Brite pads. The color is constant
through the thickness of the material,
Shower Stall
To clean your fiberglass shower stall unit use warm water
and one of the stronger liquid detergents. Do not use
abrasive cleaners, they may scratch and dull the surface
of your fiberglass unit. Stubborn stains can be removed
with solvents such as turpentine, paint thinner or
acetone. Restore dulled areas by rubbing with an
automotive type liquid cleaner then put the soft slow
back into your fiberglass unit with a light application of
liquid wax.
Lounges
To convert the front lounge to a bed first set the armrest
cushions out of the way, lift up on the front of the seat
and pull it out. This will unhinge the sofa so it can be
pushed flat into a bed.
Dinette
The dinette is made into a bed by rising up on the
front of the table and folding the table leg up against
the bottom of the leaf. As the table is raised it will
unhook from the upper wall brackets. Once it is
unhooked it can be pulled out and the wall hinge will
let it be lowered on the supports of the dinette seats.
The backrests of the seats are placed over the table
to complete the conversion.
Table
To open the folding table, lift into a horizontal position
and pull the table leg down toward the vertical position
until it snaps into place, The leg is hinged at the front
edge of the table and is held against the bottom of
the table with Velcro. To extend into the double leaf
position, lift the table slightly so the leg clears the
carpet, and slide the leg and center support out toward
the center of the trailer. The leaf then unfolds and rests
against the leg support.
Airstream recommends that during travel the table be
folded up and stored. It has pressure catches to hold it
in place during travel.
Monitor Panel
The monitor panel allows you to check the amount
of fluid in your fresh water tank, black tank (tank #1),
and the gray tank (tank #2). The LP bottle gas levels
and battery charge status are also shown. The panel
operation is explained in detail later in this manual.
Battery Condition Tester
The battery condition tester, used when not plugged
into 110-volt power, will indicate the trailer batteries
condition. When they show weak or bad condition you
should take every reasonable step to conserve power
by using as few lights as possible and switching off
appliances. The battery should be charged as soon as
practical with the tow vehicle charging system, or by
connecting to shoreline 110-volt power.
