Flying Cloud 5-5
Dinette
The dinette is made into a bed by raising up 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 allow it to
be lowered on the supports of the dinette seats. The
backrests of the seats are placed over the table to
complete the conversion.
Dinette 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 left in the upright position.
Exhaust Fans
The Flying Cloud trailers are equipped with roof
ventilators, either in the center of the ceiling, in the
bathroom, or both locations.
The square fans are cranked opened. Round
ventilators, used in some bathrooms, are opened by
pushing straight up on the crossbar handle. The round
switch can then be turned to engage the fan motor.
note
The range exhaust cover on the outside of the
trailer has a swinging door that can be latched
during inclement weather and should be latched
while in travel. When operating the exhaust fan, the
latches should be turned so the door swings open
when the fan is on.
Bath Area Remote Switches
Two remote switches for appliances are located on
the bathroom wall. One is for the water pump and
duplicates the pump switch on the central control
panel. Either remote or central control pump switch
may be used to turn the pump on or off at any time.
The second remote switch, with a red indicator, is for
lighting the water heater. On 20 ft. models an additional
water tank heating pad switch is utilized.
Shower Stall
To clean your berglass (plastic on 23 ft. rear bath)
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.
note
The 23 ft. Front Bed model has a small access door
cut into the front shower exterior wall to access
and service the shower valve plumbing.
Telephone Shower Head
The telephone shower head is designed to give
maximum exibility 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. The telephone shower head is also used
to ll the tub for taking a bath. When you have nished
using the shower, make sure to shut the water off at
the faucet.
Retractable Clothesline
A retractable clothesline and line hook is installed for
your convenience in the shower stall of the trailer.
Lounge
On certain models, the sofa converts to a bed. Lift up
the front of the seat and pull out. Below the bed is a
large, upholstered, horizontal door that is opened by
pulling straight out and hinging down. This exposes
large plastic trays. This is a great place to store heavy
items since it is low to the oor and in the front of the
trailer.
cAutIon
To prevent possible injury, these bed legs must
be lowered and locked into place after the top is
pulled out and before putting weight on the bed.
