INTRODUCTION

The Owners Manual for your new Airstream trailer is designed to respond to the most frequent inquiries regarding the

operation, function and care of the many systems that make modern trailering a joy.

Airstream realizes our customers possess varying degrees of expertise in the area of repairing and maintaining the appliances in

their trailer. For this reason, the service and trouble-shooting information found in this manual is directed toward those with

average mechanical skills. We also realize you may be more familiar in one area than you are in another. Only you know your

capabilities and limitations.

We want you to use this manual, and hope you will find the information contained in it useful, however, should you ever feel

you may be "getting in over your head" please see your dealer to have the repairs made.

A brief explanation of the operation of the appliances such as refrigerator, furnace, water heater and others are explained in this

manual. However, you will also find the manufacturer's information supplied in a packet included with this manual.

All information, illustrations and specifications contained in the literature are based on the latest product information available

at the time of publication approval.

Throughout this manual CAUTION and WARNINGnotations are used. Failure to observe "caution" can

damage equipment. WARNINGnotes the possibility of personal injury if not observed.

Note: If and when new materials and production techniques are developed which can improve the quality of its product, or

material substitutions are necessary due to availability, Airstream reserves the right to make such changes.

WARRANTY COVERAGE

When you buy a new Airstream Travel Trailer from an authorized Airstream dealer, Airstream, Inc.,

warrants the trailer from defects in material and workmanship as follows:

BASIC WARRANTY PERIOD

This warranty extends for a period of two years from the date of original retail purchase.

ITEMS COVERED

Any part of the trailer or any component equipment installed by the factory is covered by the basic

warranty except the following items, which are not covered:

Tires

Batteries

The tire and battery warranties will be handled by their respective service points and according to their

written policy. This limited warranty does not include failure caused by accident, abuse, normal wears,

overload or any cause not attributable to a defect in original material or workmanship of the trailer or

component equipment as installed by the factory.

LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES

All warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, whether written or oral, express or

implied, shall extend only for a period of two years from the date of original purchase. There are no other

warranties, which extend beyond those described on the face hereof and which expressly excludes

conditions resulting, from normal wear, accident, abuse, exposure or overload. Some states do not allow

limitation on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

AIRSTREAM'S RESPONSIBILITY

The basic Airstream Limited Warranty applies for a period of two years from the date of original

purchase, and the application date of all warranties is that indicated on the owner's identification card.

Defects in items covered under this Warranty will be corrected without cost upon the return, at the owner's

expense, of the trailer or defective part to an authorized Airstream dealer.

AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL

A-2

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

This warranty covers only defective material and/or workmanship; adjustments are made at the factory

prior to shipment, and rechecked by the dealer prior to delivery to the customer. Adjustments thereafter

become a customer responsibility.

Each Airstream exterior (not including the underside) is sprayed with paint or coating to prevent oxidation.

This application is covered by a two-year warranty against peeling. Prolonged exposure to salt air or

industrial fall-out will permit penetration through the coating material, causing damage to the exterior

finish. Since Airstream, Inc., has no control over these conditions, it is necessary for the owner to wash and

maintain their trailer as instructed in the Owner's Manual.

The owner is also responsible for following all recommendations, instructions and precautions contained in

the Airstream Trailer Owner's Manual and the individual manuals furnished by the chassis, appliance and

other manufacturers.

INSTALLATIONS NOT COVERED

Airstream, Inc., does not accept any responsibility in connection with any of its trailers for additional

equipment or accessories installed at any dealership or other place of business, or by any other party. Such

installation of equipment or accessories by any other party will not be covered by the terms of this

warranty.

IF REPAIRS ARE NEEDED

If your trailer needs repairs under the terms of the basic Airstream Limited Warranty, you should:

1. Take your trailer to your selling dealer or other Authorized Airstream Dealer.

2. If the dealer is incapable of making the repair, request that he contact the Service Administration

Department at Airstream, Inc., for technical assistance.

3. If repairs are still not made, the customer should contact:

AIRSTREAM, INC.

419 W. Pike Street - P.O. Box 629

Jackson Center, Ohio 45334-0629

Attention: Owner Relations Department

Furnish the following information:

The complete serial number of the trailer

Mileage

Date of original purchase

Selling dealer

Nature of service problem and steps or service, which have been performed. (The owner

may be directed to another dealer at the owner's expense.)

4. If, after taking the above steps, repairs are still not complete, the Airstream owner may request the

trailer be brought to the Factory Service Center at the owner's expense.

DEALER REPRESENTATION EXCLUDED

The full extent of the basic Airstream Limited Warranty is set forth in detail in the folder, and in the

explanation of the basic Airstream Limited Warranty covered in the Airstream Trailer Owner's Manual.

Airstream Inc. will not be responsible for additional representations or implied warranties made by any of

its dealers to the extent those representations are not a part of, or are contrary to, the terms and conditions

of the basic Airstream Limited Warranty.

CONSEQUENTIAL AND INCIDENTAL DAMAGES

Airstream, Inc., will not be responsible for any consequential or incidental expenses or damages

resulting from a defect. Incidental expenses include, but are not limited to: travel expenses, gasoline,

oil, lodging, meals, telephone tolls, and loss of work and loss of use of the trailer. Some examples of

consequential damages would be: stained curtains due to rain leaks or delaminated floor caused by a

plumbing leak. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

WARRANTY TRANSFER

The basic Airstream Limited Warranty is transferable to subsequent owners for the duration of the

warranty period. Warranty transfer application forms are available from your dealer or the Airstream Inc.

Service Administration Department.

CHANGES IN DESIGN

Airstream Inc. reserves the right to make changes in design and improvements upon its product without

imposing my obligation upon itself to install the same upon its products theretofore manufactured.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which vary from

state to state.

AIRSTREAM CLASSIC TRAILER OWNERS MANUAL

A-4

EXPLANATION OF AIRSTREAM LIMITED WARRANTY

The Airstream Limited Warranty is detailed in a separate folder. A plastic WARRANTY

IDENTIFICATION CARD is sent to you after Airstream receives notification from your dealer of the sale.

Since this I.D. card is necessary to obtain warranty, it should be kept in the trailer or on your person during

the warranty period.

EXCLUSIONS:

Normal Wear

Items such as tires, water purifier packs, curtains, upholstery, floor coverings, window, door and vent seals

will show wear or may even wear out within the two year warranty period depending upon the amount of

usage, weather, and atmospheric conditions.

Accident

We strongly urge our dealers and customers to inspect the trailer upon receipt of delivery for any damage

caused by accident while being delivered to the dealer, or while it is on the dealer's lot. Damage of this

nature becomes the dealer or customer's responsibility upon acceptance of delivery, unless Airstream is

notified and the person making the delivery verifies the damage. Glass breakage, whether obviously struck

or mysterious, is always accidental and covered by most insurance policies.

Abuse

Lack of customer care and/or improper maintenance will result in early failure for which Airstream cannot

be held responsible.

Exposure

Not unlike a car, the steel parts of a trailer can and will rust if subjected to prolonged exposure to moisture,

salt air, or corrosive air-borne pollutants without repainting. Aluminum oxidizes when unprotected under

similar conditions, and refinery chemicals of a sulfurous nature are harmful to finishes if not washed off

periodically. Extremely hot or direct sunlight will deteriorate rubber and fade curtains and upholstery.

Conditions of this nature, although they may be normal for the area, are beyond Airstream's control and

become the responsibility of the owner.

Although it is our obligation to correct a rain or plumbing leak within the terms of the limited warranty, it is

the owner's responsibility to use reasonable, prudent care to minimize foreseeable secondary damage, such

as a delaminated floor, stained upholstery, carpeting, drapes etc.

Overload

Damage due to loading, either beyond capacity or to cause improper towing because of improper balance,

is beyond Airstream's responsibility. The Airstream trailer is engineered to properly handle the gross

vehicle load rating on the certification label. Load distribution has a definite effect upon the towing

characteristics and attitudes of the trailer. Level hitch installations are a necessity, and very important on a

tandem axle trailer. There are limits to the amount of load that can be safely transported depending upon

speed and road conditions, and reasonable cause to believe these factors have been exceeded could void the

Airstream warranty. For additional information on the loading of your trailer, consult your Owner's Manual

or gross vehicle weight rating plate.

The Airstream axle is manufactured to a tolerance of 1-degree camber and 1/8" toe-in. These tolerances

will only change if the trailer is subjected to abuse, such as dropping off a sharp berm, striking a curb, or

hitting a deep hole in the road. Such damage could be considered as resulting from an accident which risks

are not covered under the warranty. Abnormal tire wear and/or wheel alignment resulting from such

damage is not covered under the terms of the warranty.

SERVICE:

The Airstream Silver Key Delivery Program is an exclusive Airstream program. Before leaving the factory,

each and every vital part of the trailer is tested for performance. Each test is signed and certified by an

inspector. After the trailer arrives on your dealer's lot all of these vital parts and systems are again tested.

When you take delivery of your new trailer you will receive a complete check out.

Silver Key Delivery does not stop here. At that time a specified list of performance checks on your trailer

equipment will be conducted and any deficiencies you have experienced since taking delivery will be

corrected.

Please contact your dealer if you need service. Major service under your Airstream Limited Warranty is

available through our nationwide network of Airstream Dealer Service Centers. An up-to-date list of Dealer

Service Centers has been provided with your new trailer. This list is current as of the date of this

publication.

Occasionally dealerships change, or new dealers are added who may not appear on this list. For this reason,

it is suggested that you contact your local dealer from time to time and bring your list up to date. He can

also provide you with additional copies if you need them. ALL CENTERS OPERATE ON AN

APPOINTMENT BASIS FOR THE UTMOST EFFICIENCY.

When you require service from the Airstream Factory Service Center, or a Certified Dealer Service Center,

please contact the service manager for an appointment, and kindly inform him if you are unable to keep the

appointment date or wish to change it.

Service may be arranged at the Factory Service Center by contacting the Service Coordinator at

Airstream Factory Service Center P.O. Box 629

419 W. Pike Street

Jackson Center, Ohio 45334-0629

937-596-6111

REPORTING SAFETY DEFECTS

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect, which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you

should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to

notifying Airstream, Inc.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect

exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become

involved in individual problems between you, your dealer, or Airstream, Inc.

To contact NHTSA you may either call the Auto Safety Hotline toll-free at 1-800-424-9393 (or 366-0123

in Washington, D.C. area) or write to: NHTSA, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, D.C.

20590. You can also obtain other information about motor vehicle safety from the Hotline.
