Hitch/Coupler
The EZ-Latch coupler features a simple-to-use latching
mechanism� Hooking up is as easy as dropping the
coupler on to your hitch ball� Simply make sure that the
coupler is properly lined up with the ball, then lower
the coupler� The coupler will automatically open and
latch into place when lowered onto the hitch ball� To
disengage coupler, pull up on latch and raise coupler
off of hitch ball� Return the coupler latch to the latched
position to ensure that coupler is ready to be latched
again� The coupler features a strong composite
handle, If the handle does get damaged or becomes
missing, the coupler is still completely operational
until the handle can be replaced� Replacement parts
can be purchased through your Airstream Dealer� See
additional information included in your owner’s packet�
Axle and Running Gear Assembly
Each Dexter Torex® rubber torsion axle is aligned
during manufacturing, and double-checked on
a random basis� Alignment after delivery is the
customer’s responsibility
Hitting chuck holes or rough railroad tracks while
traveling straight will only cause misalignment after
the tire has struck such objects many times� Of
course, a deep enough hole can affect the alignment
immediately
The worst culprit is a curb because they are normally
struck at an angle� Rear axles are occasionally
damaged when people are attempting to park beside a
curb while backing up their trailer
The trailer axle(s) is bent upward in the middle� This
bend is normal and is how the camber is obtained�
Also, toe-in is built into the axle by very slight bends in
the axle tube on each end�
Tire wear indicates misalignment� Check with your
dealer for the nearest location with the proper
equipment to correct the trailer’s alignment�
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for camber and toe-in
specications.
Nev-R-Lube Drums/Bearings
Dexter’s Nev-R-Lube bearings are compromised of
opposed tapered roller bearing cones sealed inside a
precision-ground, one-piece, double-cup arrangement�
These bearings are designed with a small amount
of axial end-play� The end-play is essential to the
longevity of the bearing’s service life�
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for Nev-R-Lube
Bearing inspection�
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Your Classic is equipped with a Tire Pressure
Monitoring System (TPMS)� Tire pressure information
from sensors within the tires are displayed on the
CZone screen as well as on the included TPMS
monitorA repeater is installed in the trailer to help
boost the signal from the tire sensors to the monitor
Tire pressures will lower in the evening as the ambient
air temperatures decrease� In cold conditions, we
suggest shutting the display off until the ambient
temperature rises, or you begin driving again� Any
time you physically move a tire to a different position,
such as changing or rotating tires, you will also need
to move the sensor conguration on the monitor and
CZone (See Maintenance section for instructions)�
The included spare tire is also equipped with a sensor
Additional information and tips can be found in your
owner’s packet and in the Maintenance section of this
manual�
The included TPMS monitor displays real-time tire
pressure and temperatures along with audible and
visual alerts� The monitor continually sequences
through the sensors displaying each tires pressure and
temperature� If an alarm sounds, an icon will blink near
the bottom of the screen and the tire in question will
have its pressure or temperature blinking on the display
screen� There will also be text indicating what the issue
is such as fast leak, low pressure, or high temperature�
