AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS DRIVING LOADING Below is a sample of the weight information chart provided in all Airstream vehicles. This information can be found in your vehicle on the back of a wardrobe door. See specification section in this manual for weights and term definitions. WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION The motorhomes have large fluid tanks and lots of storage areas. It gives you great flexibility in loading. With flexibility comes responsibility.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS SAFETY CHECK LIST Your Airstream motorhome should be given a thorough safety check before a trip. Regular use of the following list will provide safe operation of your motorhome and will help you spot any malfunctioning equipment and correct the problem as soon as possible. The list is to help you and may not be all-inclusive. Failure to heed the following items may cause damage to the vehicle or personal injury. EXTERIOR CHECK LIST (BEFORE ENTERING VEHICLE) 1.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS INTERIOR CHECK LIST (BEFORE DRIVING OFF) 13. Check rear view mirror adjustment, inside and outside. Adjust curtains if necessary for maximum visibility. 14. Secure children in a Federally Approved Child Restraint Device. 15. Fasten your lap belts. 16. Check that step light goes out and that electric step has retracted. SAFETY SEAT BELTS In the forward driver's area of the motorhome, safety seat belts are provided for the use of the driver and the right front passenger.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS DASH SWITCHES • Door Lock -The main door can be locked or unlocked from the drivers seat. Remember to hide an extra door key on the exterior in case of unexpected battery failure. • Auxiliary Start - The auxiliary start switch is intended to be used if the engine battery becomes too discharged to turn the engine over. To operate, hold the switch in the start position, and then use the ignition switch in a normal fashion.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS CAB SEATS Besides the normal power seat control there are two additional finger levers. One allows the seat to recline and the other will let the seat rotate. CAUTION: Revolving the power seat completely around will pull the wiring apart.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Procedure for Weighing A RV Vehicle should be weigh loaded as you normally travel. 1. Fill in first row from Specification Section of this manual. 2. Weigh vehicle as shown in row 2 (Scale Weight) and fill in blanks. 3. Weigh one side of vehicle as shown In Individual Wheel Position Weight. 4. Calculate other side as shown in Last Information for line 1 is located in the specification section in this manual.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS CHASSIS The Airstream motorhome is built on a chassis designed for motorhomes. Operation of the engine and other related components is discussed in the Chassis Owners and Drivers Manual supplied with each coach. If repairs are needed it can be difficult to determine which parts are the chassis, and which are Airstream's responsibility. The following list shows the major components of the chassis and the company responsible for their servicing.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS DASH AIR CONDITIONER/HEATER Specific Climate Systems Inc. 1200 West Risinger Road Fort Worth, Texas Technical Assistance: 1-800-275-7524 OPERATION The dash heater control is very similar to many automobiles The center rotary switch marked "cold-hot" controls the amount of hot water flowing through the heater core. When the maximum air conditioner is engaged, inside air is circulated through the evaporator to obtain the utmost in cooling.

AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS AUXILIARY HEATER (Option 26 Ft.) The auxiliary heater, located under the coach near the step, is plumbed into the radiator system. Two "tees" are located between the engine and the front heater. The water lines to the heater are routed under the floor. By using the two-speed dash fan the temperature output can be varied. TIRES Your chassis Owner’s Manual contains important cautions and information on tires and should be reviewed and followed for your safety.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Proper FRONT END ALIGNMENT improves tire tread mileage. Your front-end suspension parts should be inspected periodically and aligned when needed. Improper alignment may not cause the vehicle to vibrate. However, improper toe alignment will cause front tires to roll at an angle, which will result in faster tire wear. Incorrect caster or camber alignment will cause your front tires to wear unevenly and can cause the vehicle to "pull" to the left or right.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TIRE CHANGING (cont) When removing a steel wheel rim to change a tire, loosen all wheel nuts approximately flush with end of stud, then tap clamp ring to loosen rim. Do not remove nuts until clamp rings are free or clamp ring may fly off of stud. When installing rim be sure pins on clamp ring face outboard. Then tighten attaching nuts alternately and evenly to avoid excessive wheel run-out. See torque values and sequence diagram. See tire inflation warning on page C-13.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TIRE ROTATION Front and rear tires perform different jobs and can wear differently depending on the types of roads driven, your driving habits, etc. To obtain the longest tire life you should INSPECT AND ROTATE your tires regularly. (See Tire Rotation Illustration below). Many automotive dealers and tire dealers will perform a free tire inspection to look for uneven or abnormal tire wear. Tires should be rotated every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TIRE SUPPORT Since motorhomes may sit for long periods of time it is important to properly support the tires if blocks are used for leveling. The following information is provided by the Michelin Technical Group. Extreme caution must be taken to ensure that the tires are fully supported when using blocks to level motorhomes and/or RV's. The load on the tire should be evenly distributed on the block and in the case of duals, evenly distributed on blocks for both tires.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS INCORRECT One tire or a portion of one tire is supporting the full load. Portion of two tires are supporting the full load. CAUTION: Tires incorrectly supported, as shown above, may be damaged which could lead to casing failure resulting in serious injury or property damage. If, on previous occasions, the tires have been incorrectly supported, a hidden damage may be present.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TIRE INFLATION INFORMATION Warning: Your vehicle is equipped with a tire that is an all-steel radial. Allsteel radial tires utilize steel cords in the sidewalls, and also require increased inflation pressures. Has such, they cannot be treated like normal light truck tires. Personnel trained, supervised and equipped according to Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations must perform tire service, including adjusting tire pressure.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS ELECTRIC STEP (KWIKEE STEP SERIES 28) Manufacturer: Kwikee Products Company Division of Ashton Corporation P.O. Box 638 Drain, Oregon 97435 Phone: 503-836-2126 The step is easy and convenient to operate. Just inside the main door is a wall switch for the step. When traveling, leave the switch in the "ON" position - the step will lower when the door is opened and retract when the door is closed. When parked, open the door so the step is lowered, then shut the switch off.

AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION Clean all mud, salt, and road grime from step before lubricating. Lubricate all moving parts (bearings, pivot points, slides, clevis pin, and drive linkage ball) every 30 days with a good quality moisture and heat resistant penetrating grease. Kwik-Lube Spray Grease is specially formulated to lubricate Kwikee Electric Steps and is recommended for lubricating all moving parts. Refer to the figures below for lubrication locations.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Composite Headlamp Your new Motor Home is equipped with a composite headlamp system. Composite headlamps are designed much differently than the sealed beam units of the ’70-80s; they are a plastic lens and chrome plated reflector assembly designed around a replaceable halogen bulb. Composite lamps produce significantly greater light offering better visibility and safety for the driver.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Cleaning is the most effective maintenance that you can perform on your lights, dirt and road grime build up can cut light output by 40% or more. • When cleaning your headlamps, please observe the following: do not rub them dry, and never use abrasives or strong solvents. Remove dirt and contamination, such as insects, by soaking with shampoo and then rinsing with plenty of water. Always use a deicer spray to remove accumulated ice and snow; never use a scraper.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Replacement of the halogen bulb: • When replacing the halogen bulb do not touch the glass portion of the bulb with your bare hands since even small amounts of impurities burn into the surface and reduce the service life of the bulb. Use a clean cloth, paper napkin, or similar material to hold the bulb during installation. With most bulbs you will not need to touch the glass part to install the bulb.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS CAMPING SAFETY: As always, safety should be one of your top priorities. Make sure you, and everyone traveling with you, can operate the main door and exit window rapidly without light. Warning: The roadside rear window is designed as an escape window. To escape, pull in on the two red latches at the bottom. The complete window sash will swing out to allow easy exit. The pleated shade is opened by sliding straight up.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS. FLASHING L.E.D. LIGHT: This smoke detector is equipped with a flashing red indicator light. The light is located under the test button and will flash every 30-40 seconds to indicate that the smoke detector is receiving power. TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and holding it down for a minimum of 2 seconds.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS CLEANING YOUR DETECTOR: To clean your detector remove it from the mounting bracket as outlined in the beginning of this section. You can clean the interior of your detector (sensing chamber) by using your vacuum cleaner hose and vacuuming through the openings around the perimeter of the detector. The outside of the detector can be wiped with a damp cloth. AFTER CLEANING, REINSTALL YOUR DETECTOR. TEST YOUR DETECTOR BY USING THE TEST BUTTON.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS: • • Leave immediately by your escape plan. Every second counts, so don't waste time getting dressed or picking up valuables. In leaving, don't open any inside door without first feeling its surface.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS ALARM CONDITION If the COSTAR senses unsafe levels of CO, the RED L.E.D. will light up and the alarm will sound. The alarm condition will be signified by a repetitive alarm-sounding pattern of approximately 4.5 seconds on 1.5 second off. Immediate evacuation is required. Pushing the test button will silence the alarm once for approximately 4 minutes. After approximately 4 minutes the alarm will once again sound until the unsafe CO concentration is removed.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS SERVICE AND WARRANTY If after reviewing this manual you feel that your CO Detector is defective in any way, do not tamper with the unit. Return it for servicing to: Quantum Group, Inc., 11211 Sorrento Valley Road, Suite Valley Road, Suite V. San Diego, CA 92121. Or call us toll free (800) 432-5599 E-mail address: mktsls@qginc.com LP GAS DETECTOR In the kitchen area of your unit, approximately six inches above the floor, is the LP gas detector.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS OVERNIGHT STOP In time you will develop a knack for spotting wonderful little roadside locations by turning off the main highway and exploring. There are many modern recreational vehicle parks, including State, County and Federal parks with good facilities, where you may obtain hookups of electrical, water and sewer connections. Directories are published which describe in detail these parks and tell what is available in the way of services and hookups.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS WINTER TRAVELING (Cont.) Some states do not allow LPG to be turned on while moving. While traveling in these states you must use your common sense. How cold is it? How long will it be before you can turn the heat back on? Is the temperature dropping or rising? Remember, the wind chill factor when driving 50 MPH will cause the interior of the motorhome to cool much faster than when it is parked. 1.You must have a plentiful supply of propane gas. 2.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS EXTENDED STAY Making a long trip is not very different from making a weekend excursion. Since everything you need is right at hand, you are at home wherever you go. When packing for an extended trip, take everything you need, but only what you need. Some models are equipped with Hydraulic Leveling Jacks that can be deployed. Complete instructions are included with the Owners Packet. Be sure to read the directions completely prior to operating the jacks.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS EFFECTS OF PROLONGED OCCUPANCY Your motorhome was designed primarily for recreational use and short-term occupancy. If you expect to occupy the motorhome for an extended period, be prepared to deal with condensation and the humid conditions that may be encountered.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TIPS TO CONTROLLING CONDENSATION (continued) The natural tendency would be to close the vehicle tightly during cold weather. This will actually compound the problem. Simply put, you need to remove some of the warm air, and allow some cool outside air to get inside the vehicle, so the furnace will not recycle the humid interior air.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS SLIDE OUT OPERATION The slide out room on the Land Yacht Low Profile models is designed for easy deployment. A momentary switch located on the microwave cabinet operates the room. To extend or retract the room, push and release the switch. The room will slide into position and stop automatically. It is not necessary, and could be harmful to hold the switch down during room operation. To stop the room while it is in motion, push and release the switch.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS EXTERIOR The sidewalls and roof of your Airstream Land Yacht motorhome are laminated fiberglass with a gel coat exterior finish. No paint means the small mars and scratches can be polished out or repaired using gel coat. We recommend this be done professionally since excessive polishing can remove the gel coat. There is no magic to caring for your motorhome. The finish is the same as non-painted fiberglass boats.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Occasionally you might find the latch catch, item 3 in the diagram below, out of time. This simply means it has been bumped and has flipped to the closed position when the door is still open. To re-time, hold the door handle in the open position, then pull out and down on the latch catch. It should flip to the open position as shown in the illustration. LOCK ASSEMBLY, DRIVERS DOOR 1. Mounting plate, Door Lock 2. Lock Handle, Inside 3. Latch Catch 4. Keeper, Rod Linkage 5.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS KEYLESS DOOR LOCK Operation The dead bolt portion of your motorhome may be controlled by radio signals produced by the key fob shown below. One characteristic of this system is the one second delay after a pad has been depressed. NOTE: When you use the keypad to turn the patio lights ON you must also use the keypad to turn them OFF. The same goes for the switch inside the door ... if you turn the lights on with this switch, you must use the same switch to turn them off.

AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS INTERIOR The luxurious interior of your Airstream motorhome has been designed for comfort, convenience, durability and appearance. An understanding of the operational procedures 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 Deluxe Sofa into a bed, pull straight up and remove armrest, grasp the front edge of the seat, raise and pull it toward the aisle of the motorhome.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS INTERIOR (cont) Carpet The carpet can be cleaned with any good commercial carpet cleaner, or with a detergent and water. HOWEVER, BE CAREFUL NOT TO SOAK THE CARPET WITH WATER. Hardwood Flooring Daily care for the planked hardwood floor is by vacuuming. Occasionally waxing with a nonwater base wax will help extend the life of the floor. CAUTION: Warn occupants of the vehicle when fresh wax has been applied, just like a home, the floor will be slippery.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS INTERIOR (cont) Vinyl Floor The vinyl floor in your unit can be cleaned with liquid floor cleaning solutions recommended for vinyl floors and warm water. Fabric Cleaning Warning: Keep your furniture and family safe from fires caused by careless smoking. Do not smoke when drowsy. Remove immediately any flowing ash or a lighted cigarette that falls on furniture. Smoldering smoking material can cause upholstered furniture fires.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS Drapes Use the following procedures to remove drapery panels for cleaning Front Wrap Around Drapes 1. Remove screws securing rear end of drapery track bracket to wall, both roadside and curbside. 2. Remove the plastic end cap. 3. Slide draperies to the rear until they are clear of track. 4. After reinstalling drapes, replace the caps and refasten the track. CAUTION: All drapery materials and mattress covers must be professionally dry-cleaned.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS PLUMBING LPG SYSTEM Your motorhome is equipped with a permanently mounted tank for LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas). LPG burns with a clean blue flame. There are two basic types of LPG in common usage: Butane and Propane. Butane is widely used where temperatures are normally above freezing the year round, and Propane is used where subfreezing temperatures are common, since Butane freezes at 32°F as compared to -40°F for Propane.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS BASIC RULES FOR SAFETY Warning: DO NOT store LP containers within vehicle. LP containers are equipped with safety devices that vent gas should the pressure become excessive. Warning: DO NOT use cooking appliances for comfort heating. Cooking appliances need fresh air for safe operation. Before operation open overhead vent or turn on exhaust fan and open window.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS LP TANK INSTALLATION The regulator at the L.P. tank is under a black plastic cover. The protective cover certainly helps to keep the vent on the regulator from getting clogged by wasps or ice, but should still be checked regularly to make sure the vent remains clear. WARNING: Do not attempt to seal regulator cover. WARNING: Check vent each time tank is filled to make sure it is clear of obstructions. Gas Regulator Removal/Replacement 1. Shut off main gas supply at the tank. 2.

AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS DRAIN AND HIGH PRESSURE WATER VALVES Your Land Yacht motorhome has several water line and tank drain and shut off valves. Drain Valves On the 30’ and 33’ models 3 valves are located under the double bed behind the hinged door. If you have a twin bed model, these 3 valves would be located under the curbside twin bed behind the lower access door at the front edge of the bed base. The 26’ model has 3 valves located in the roadside rear lower compartment.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TOILET (30’ & 33’ Models) Manufacturer: Thetford Corporation 7101 Jackson Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 313-769-6000 Canada: Thetford Sanitation Ltd. 2710 Slough Street Mississauga, Ontario Canada, L4T 1G3 The RV toilet in your Airstream is a design that has been used for many years. In normal use, when you are hooked up to city water, both pedals are depressed together. This dumps the sewage and fresh water and flushes down the side of the bowl.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS TROUBLE SHOOTING PROBLEM: Water keeps running into bowl. CAUSE: The blade in the bottom of the bowl is not closing completely, which in turn keeps the water control valve partially open. The groove into which the blade seats when completely closed is clogged with foreign material. REMEDY- Insert the end of a coat hanger or similar object into the sealing groove and remove the foreign material. Avoid damaging the rubber seal while cleaning. PROBLEM: Toilet leaks.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS MAINTENANCE If the bowl-sealing blade does not operate freely after extended use, it may be restored to its original, smooth operating condition by applying a light film of silicone spray to the blade. To clean the toilet use Thetford Aqua Bowl or any other high grade, non-abrasive cleaner. Do not use highly concentrated or high acid content household cleaners. They may damage the rubber seals. REMOVAL 1. Shut off water valve behind toilet or main water supply. 2.

AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS STORAGE AND WINTERIZING When storing your motorhome for a short or long period, use the same precautions as you would in your own home in regard to perishables, ventilation and rain protection. In addition, for prolonged storage periods flush out all the drain lines and the holding tanks. Also, drain the entire water system, including the water heater and the water storage tank. Instructions for draining the water system are explained in the following paragraphs on winterizing.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS For additional winterizing protection, add non-toxic antifreeze (approved for drinking water systems) to your water lines using the following procedure: 1. Reconnect all lines except the hose to the pump inlet port. Close all drain valves (See Step 3) *2. Turn bypass valves to bypass position. 3. Attach a length of hose to the pump inlet port. This piece of hose should be long enough for the free end to be inserted into and reach the bottom of the antifreeze container. 4.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS DRAIN AND WASTE SYSTEM The drain and waste system of your motorhome includes waste holding tanks made from molded plastic. The MAIN HOLDING TANK enables you to use the toilet for several days away from disposal facilities. The wastewater from the sink, shower, and bath and lavatory drain into the AUXILIARY HOLDING TANK. Each tank has its own dump valve; however, both tanks drain through a common outlet.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS When Parked and Connected to Sewer Outlet When you are in a park and connected to a sewer outlet, keep the main holding tank dump valve closed and empty the tank every few days or whenever it becomes almost full. ONLY BY SENDING A LARGE VOLUME OF LIQUID THROUGH THE MAIN HOLDING TANK AT A TIME WILL TOILET PAPER AND OTHER SOLIDS COMPLETELY WASH AWAY. This practice will avoid the accumulation of solids in the main holding tank, which could lead to an unpleasant cleaning job.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BATTERY CONTROL CENTER The Intellitec Battery Control Center is a centralized power switching, fusing, and distribution center. Power from both the chassis and the coach batteries are feed into the control center box. All servicing with-in this box should be done only by a qualified Service Technician. Page H-3 has a drawing of the 12-volt chassis wiring system used in your motor home. Your motorhome is equipped with three batteries.
AIRSTREAM LAND YACHT GAS 12-Volt Operation The only thing you have to do is make sure the two coach batteries and engine battery does not run down. In normal usage there isn't any problem, since you would normally drive part of the day and be plugged into a campground at night. The alternator charges the batteries when you drive. When you're plugged into city power the converter charges the batteries and carries much of the load. Some nights you may not find a place to plug into city power.
