Shower Head
The shower head is designed to give maximum
flexibility in usage, and provides for water-saving
techniques when using your trailer on self-containment�
It can be held in the hand and moved about the body�
Normally, the best water conservation procedure is to
wet the entire body and then turn the water off� Apply
soap, lather thoroughly, and then rinse the soap off�
Retractable Clothesline
A retractable clothesline is installed for your
convenience in the shower stall� To use, pull the
line from the base and attach it to the holder on the
opposite wall� Turning the nut on the base will tighten
the line�
Dinette
16RB, 19CB, and 20FB models have dinettes which
can be made into a bed by raising 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 unhooked, the
wall hinge will allow it to be pulled out and lowered
on the supports of the dinette seats� The backrests of
the seats are placed over the table to complete the
conversion� It is recommended to travel with the table
in the lowered position�
On 22 ft� front bed models, the dinette table has a
telescoping pedestal leg� To lower, release the black
compression clamp lever on the pedestal leg and push
the table down� Once lowered, clamp the lever back
to lock the leg in position� On the bottom of the table
top a latch is installed and can be released to allow the
table top to slide out towards the aisle� Use the dinettes
backrests to cover the table top and complete the
conversion�
Ceiling and Directional Lighting
All lighting in the Airstream trailer is LED and most will
require a replacement fixture should it go out. The main
ceiling lights can be turned on/off or dimmed by the
switch at the entry door. Some light fixtures may have
a push button switch located on the fixture. Gently
squeezing the lens in the middle and pulling down
will remove the lens� The bed and lounge areas have
individually switched directional lighting�
Vinyl Flooring
Use a soft broom to sweep the floor. A vacuum cleaner
may damage the flooring, especially the type that use
beater bars� In most cases, a clean damp cloth or mop
will suffice to clean dirty flooring. When necessary, a
solution of mild detergent or domestic floor cleaning
emulsion can be used to clean the flooring. Do not use
a wire brush or nylon scouring pads, furniture polish,
spirit-based polish, powder or liquid abrasive cleaners,
bleach or other strong detergents� Scuffs, dirt, and
spillages should be cleaned up as soon as possible�
Rubber backing on doormats may result in yellow
discoloration of the floor immediately beneath. Choose
a natural fiber mat. Mats provided by Airstream are
intended for use outside of the travel trailer� Rubber
feet on furniture may cause staining� Remove them
altogether or place coasters or felt pads between them
and the floor.
Polishing the Flooring
Vinyl floors do not require waxing or polishing.
However, applying polish will provide additional
protection for the floor. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when using a floor polish or
cleaner and ensure it is suitable for use with cushioned
vinyl flooring.
Shower Stall
To clean your fiberglass shower stall unit, use warm
water and one of the stronger liquid detergents� Do not
use abrasive cleaners as they may scratch and dull the
surface of your 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 glow
back into your unit with a light application of liquid wax�
CAUTION
Applying wax to the base of the shower floor is
not recommended, as this could create an unsafe
surface.
