INTRODUCTION

The Owners Manual for your new Airstream Motorhome is designed to respond to the

most frequent inquiries regarding the operation, function and care of the many systems

that make modern motor homing a joy.

Airstream realizes our customers possess varying degrees of expertise in the area of

repairing and maintaining the appliances in their motorhome. 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.

The operation and care of component parts such as chassis, refrigerator, furnace, water

heater and others are briefly explained in this manual. However, you will also find the

complete manufacturer's information supplied in a packet included with this manual.

Note: All information, illustrations and specifications contained in the literature are based

on the latest product information available at the time of publication approval. Airstream

reserves the right to make changes if and when new materials and/or production

techniques are developed that can improve the quality of its product, or when material

substitutions are necessary due to availability.

Throughout this manual CAUTION and WARNING notations are used.

Failure to observe "CAUTION" can cause equipment damage if not observed..

Failure to observe “ WARNING” can lead to damaged equipment, serious

personal injury and/or death if not observed.

Please read and follow all cautions and warnings. If any questions arise contact your

dealer or the factory customer service department.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

A-1

AIRSTREAM INC. LIMITED WARRANTY

WARRANTY COVERAGE

When you buy a new Airstream Land Yacht Motorhome from an authorized Airstream dealer, Airstream,

Inc., warrants the motorhome from defects in material and workmanship as follows:

BASIC WARRANTY PERIOD

This warranty is for 30,000 miles (40,000 Kilometers) or two years, whichever comes first, beginning when

the vehicle is delivered to the first retail customer or first placed into demonstrator service. This warranty

must have started prior to the accumulation of 4,000 miles in order to be valid.

ITEMS COVERED

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

warranty except the following items, which are not covered:

• House Batteries

• Automotive Chassis

• Generator

The above items 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 wear, overload or any

cause not attributable to a defect in original material or workmanship of the motorhome 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, or 30,000 miles,

whichever comes first. 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 or 30,000 miles, whichever comes first, and the application date of all warranties is that indicated

on the owner's Limited Warranty. Defects in items covered under this Warranty will be corrected without

cost upon the return, at the owner's expense, of the motorhome or defective part to an authorized Airstream

dealer.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

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.

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

the Airstream Motorhome 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 motorhomes 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 motorhome needs repairs under the terms of the basic Airstream Limited Warranty, you should:

1. Take your motorhome 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 motorhome

• 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

motorhome be allowed to 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 Motorhome 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.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

A-3

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 motorhome. 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.

CONSUMER ARBITRATION PROGRAM

Airstream, Inc. participates in the consumer Arbitration Program for Recreational Vehicle (CAP-RV). This

third-party dispute resolution program is available, at no charge to you, to settle unresolved warranty

disputes for recreational vehicles. This dispute resolution program reviews eligible product and service

related complaints involving warranty covered components.

To find out more about this program, or to request an application/brochure, please call the Arbitration

Administration office toll-free 800.279.5343.

For recreational vehicles purchased in the State of California: The CAP-RV program operates as a certified

mechanism under the review of the California Arbitration Certification Program. You must utilize the

arbitration program before claiming rights conferred by 15 USC section 2310 (Uniform Commercial Code)

or Civil Code section 1793.22(b) (Son-Beverly Warranty Act). You are not required to use the program if

you choose to seek redress by pursuing rights and remedies not created by those laws.

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.

WARRANTY EXPLANATION

Along with your new Airstream motorhome you have purchased the Airstream Limited Warranty. Read

your Limited Warranty carefully. It contains the entire agreement with respect to Airstream's obligation on

the Limited Warranty on your new vehicle. The terms of the Limited Warranty, and only those terms, will

define Airstream's responsibility. When you receive your Limited Warranty file it for safekeeping.

Upon proof of purchase date to any Airstream Dealer Service Center, defects in materials or workmanship

will be repaired or replaced without cost to the owner for a period of twenty four (24) months from the

original purchase date, or 30,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Written warranties of some manufacturers

of components of the motorhome will be honored by Airstream for the duration on that manufacturer's

warranty.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

A-4

Items such as motorhome chassis, engine, tires, batteries and generator are serviced by their respective

manufacturers and will be handled by their service centers according to the terms of their written policy.

Any warranty forms from these manufacturers should be completed promptly, preferably at time of

purchase.

Your motorhome chassis is pre-checked by its manufacturer before delivery to Airstream. All service to the

chassis must be performed by the manufacturer according to the manufacturer's warranty and service

policies. Literature is supplied with each Airstream motorhome that gives important information

concerning its warranty coverage; however, the Airstream Limited Warranty covers the chassis heater,

defrosters, windshield wiper blade, motor, washer, LP gas bottle and gas regulator.

Paint and appearance items that show imperfections should be brought to the attention of your dealer at the

time of delivery and during pre-delivery inspection. Normal deterioration by use and exposure is not

covered by the Airstream Limited Warranty.

Damage to enameled or porcelain surfaces resulting from abrasion, collision or impact, and broken window

glass is not covered by the Airstream Limited Warranty.

The Airstream Limited Warranty Excludes:

Normal Wear:

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

show wear within the one year Limited Warranty period depending upon the amount of usage, weather and

atmospheric conditions.

Accident

Damage caused by accident is usually visible, and we strongly urge our dealers and customers to inspect

the motorhome upon 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's or your responsibility upon

acceptance of the motorhome. 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, including failure to comply with the terms of the

Owner’s Manual, or failure to heed proper vehicle operation shown by the dash instruments is not covered

by warranty.

Exposure

It is the responsibility of the owner to take such preventative measures as are necessary to maintain the

exterior caulking and sealer of your unit. It is the responsibility of the owner to use reasonable, prudent

care to prevent foreseeable secondary damage from rain, plumbing leaks, and the natural accumulation of

moisture in your unit, such as a delaminated floor; stained upholstery, carpeting, or drapes; mold formation

and growth; furniture damage, etc. Mold is a natural growth given certain environmental conditions and is

not covered by the terms of the Limited Warranty.

Deterioration by sunlight is possible to such items as tires, curtains or upholstery. Steel or metal surfaces

are subject to the elements, causing rust and corrosion that is normal and beyond the control and

responsibility of Airstream.

WARRANTY AND SERVICE

A-5

OVERLOAD

Overload Damage due to loading beyond capacity or to cause improper balance is not covered by the

Airstream Limited Warranty. The Airstream motorhome body is engineered to properly handle any normal

load. There are limits to the amount of load that can be safely transported depending upon speed and road

conditions. If these limits have been exceeded the Airstream Limited Warranty will not cover resulting

damage. For additional information on the load capacity of your motorhome consult your Owner's Manual

or gross vehicle weight rating plate. Each motorhome is aligned during the last quality inspection. These

tolerances will only change if the motorhome is subjected to abuse, such as dropping off a sharp berm,

striking a curb, or hitting a deep hole in the road. Such damage would 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 motorhome is tested for performance. Each test is signed and certified by an

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

tested. When you take delivery of your new motorhome you will receive a complete checkout.

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 motorhome. This list is current as of the date of

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 SERVICE 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, Phone 937-596-6111, Fax: 937-596-6802

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 1-800-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-

424-9153) or write to: NHTSA, 400Seventh ST, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20590. Website:
