Appliances
1. I am planning for a trip in my Airstream. How
should I get the refrigerator cooled down?
Answer: Turn the power on and set the thermostat
between 3 and 4� You can make further adjustments
to suit your personal requirements after the box has
cooled down� Allow the refrigerator to come down to
temperature before loading with product� Setting the
thermostat to a higher setting, e�g� 7, will not decrease
the time required for the unit to cool down to its normal
operating temperature� AC/DC units cool at the same
rate on DC as on AC� Normal refrigerator operating
temperatures are 34ºF to 40ºF�
2. My air conditioner freezes up. What is the
problem?
Answer: In high humidity conditions, Dometic
recommends you operate your AC (manual mode) on
the high fan setting and all vents should be open to
have maximum air ow over the coils; this helps reduce
icing. Also, dirty AC lters can restrict air ow and
cause the AC to ice up�
Maintenance
1. Can I have my awning out with heavy winds?
Answer: No this may cause damage if it is too windy�
However, the awning does have a built in sensor that

2. I want to clean the exterior of my Airstream.
What do you suggest?
Answer: Airstream recommends washing the Interstate
using a mild, auto detergent, safe for clear coated
surfaces� Airstream recommends washing based on
operating conditions, and waxing a minimum of twice
a year. Any automotive wax designed specically
for clear coated surfaces will provides good wax
protection�

Answer: First, empty your Black Water tank, and then

pump on to empty the tank� Do this a couple times until
