Exterior
2017 Basecamp 6-5
Receptacle Outlets
An exterior 120 volt receptacle is located on the
curbside of the trailer and is labeled for your
convenience�
Exterior Shower
Basecamp units are equipped with a lockable exterior
door that allows for the bathrooms shower head to
be passed through� Be sure to shut and lock the door
when not in use�
City Water Hookup
The city water hook-up is located on the side of the
trailer. For consistent water ow and plumbing line
safety, an in-line regulator limits pressure to 65 PSI�
Use a tasteless, odorless, and non-toxic high-pressure
hose of at least 1/2 in� diameter designed for RV use�
The city water inlet is a standard garden hose thread�
We suggest you carry two lengths of hose in order to
reach hookups farther away than normal, plus, to have
a spare�
After hooking up the hose and turning on the city
water valve provided in the park, slowly open a faucet�
There will be a lot of spurts and sputtering until all
the air is expelled from the trailer system� If the water
heater is empty, it will take some time before all the air
is expelled and a steady ow of water occurs at the
faucet. Once a steady ow is achieved at one faucet
the others should be opened long enough to expel the
air in the lines going to them�
Your plumbing system has a built-in pressure regulator
to protect your lines and faucets from extremely high
pressures on some city water systems�
Water Fill
A lockable exterior access door provides access to ll
the water tank. Use a garden hose to ll the tank after
letting water run through the hose for a short time to
ush it out. The amount of water in the tank may be
checked on the monitor panel, or you may ll the tank
until water overows out of the ll. The hose can be
stored in the utility hatch located towards the front on
the roadside�
NOTE
Remember that towing the trailer with a full water
tank increases the trailers weight. If the trailer is
already close to its weight limit you may want to
consider lling the water tank once you are at your
destination.
Shoreline Power Supply
The power cord hookup is located on the roadside of
the trailer� The power cord can be stored in the top of
the LP tank cover compartment� The power cord is
used to plug the trailer into a City Power Service�
NOTE
Use only power cords recommended by Airstream.
Many campgrounds provide less than 30 amp service,
and your hookup may blow their fuse or circuit breaker�
If this happens, reduce the load and replace the fuse or
reset the breaker�
