Safety
Safety Precautions
Many things can be construed as safety related, but
the most important is your common sense� If you are
careless with matches, cigarettes, ammable material,
or any other hazardous material, you surely realize
your potential for accidents is greatly increased�
You will nd many safety recommendations in this
section and throughout the manual� The following
recommendations are the ones we consider to be the
most important�
Transporting of Passengers
The transporting of people in the trailer puts their
lives at risk and may be illegal� The trailer does not
have seat belts, therefore, it is not designed to carry
passengers�
Towing and Weight Distribution
Weight distribution is an important factor when loading
your travel trailer� A recreational vehicle with the cargo
distributed properly will result in efcient, trouble-
free towing� Refer to Section 7 - Towing for more
information�
Controlling Sway
Sway or shtailing is the sideways action of a trailer
caused by external forces� Excessive sway of your
travel trailer can lead to the rollover of the trailer and
tow vehicle, resulting in serious injury or death� Refer
to Section 7 - Towing for more information�
Lug Nut Torquing
Making sure wheel mounting nuts (lug nuts) on
trailer wheels are tight and properly torqued is an
important responsibility that trailer owners and users
need to understand and practice� Inadequate and/or
inappropriate wheel nut torque (tightness) is a major
cause of lug nuts loosening in service� Loose lug nuts
can rapidly lead to a wheel separation, resulting in
potentially serious safety consequences� See torque
pattern in Section 8 - Maintenance for tightening
sequence, and follow torque specications in Section
4 - Floor Plans and Specications.
Tire Safety
Properly maintained tires improve the steering,
stopping, traction, and load-carrying capability of your
vehicle� Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for tire care
and safety information� Also, be sure to read the Tire
Safety Manual Addendum included with your owner’s
packet�
Appliances and Equipment
The appliances (stove, refrigerator, etc�) and equipment
(hot water heater, furnace, etc�) typically operate on
liqueed petroleum gas. LP gas is ammable and is
contained under high pressure� Improper use may
result in a re and/or explosion. Make sure to follow
all instructions and warnings in this manual as well as
those in the specic owner’s manuals of the appliances
and equipment�
Mold
Mold and mold spores exist throughout indoor and
outdoor environments� There is no practical way
to eliminate all mold and mold spores in the indoor
environment; however, the way to control indoor
mold growth is to control moisture� Refer to Section
3 - General Information (Camping) for information on
controlling condensation and molds�
Chemical Sensitivity and Ventilation
Chemical Sensitivity
Immediately after the purchase of your new
recreational vehicle, and sometimes, after it has been
closed up for an extended period of time, you may
notice a strong odor and/or experience a chemical
sensitivity� This is not a defect in your recreational
vehicle� Like your home, there are many different
products used in the construction of recreational
vehicles, such as carpet, linoleum, plywood, insulation,
upholstery, etc� Formaldehyde is also the by-product of
combustion and numerous household products, such
as some paints, coatings, and cosmetics� However,
recreational vehicles are much smaller than your home
and therefore, the exchange of air inside a recreational
vehicle is signicantly less than in a home. These
products, when new or when exposed to elevated
temperatures and/or humidity, may off-gas different
chemicals, including formaldehyde� This off-gassing,
in combination with the minimal air exchange, may
cause you to experience irritation of the eyes, nose,
and throat, as well as sometimes headache, nausea,
and a variety of asthma-like symptoms� Elderly persons
and young children, as well as anyone with a history
of asthma, allergies, or lung problems, may be more
susceptible to the effects of off-gassing�

Revison 5
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a naturally occurring substance
and is an important chemical used widely by industry
to manufacture building materials and numerous
household products� It is also a by-product of
combustion and certain other natural processes�
Thus, it may be present inside the trailer with some
individuals being sensitive to it� Ventilation of the unit
normally reduces the exposure to a comfortable level�
Trace levels of formaldehyde are released from
smoking; cooking; use of soaps and detergents, such
as carpet shampoos, cosmetics; and many other
household products� Some people are very sensitive to
formaldehyde while others may not have any reaction
to the same levels of formaldehyde� Amounts released
decrease over time�
Your Airstream trailer was manufactured using
low formaldehyde-emitting (LFE) wood products,
use of which is typical in the recreation vehicle
industry� Formaldehyde has an important role in
the adhesives used to bind wood products used in
recreation vehicles� The wood products in your trailer
are designed to emit formaldehyde at or lower than
industry guidelines and should not produce symptoms
in most individuals�
While LFE wood products typically do not emit
formaldehyde at a level that would cause symptoms
in most individuals, it is possible, though not likely, for
that to occur when the trailer is not properly ventilated�
Ventilation is an essential requirement for trailer use,
for many reasons� Any effects of formaldehyde can be
greatly reduced by actions such as opening windows,
opening roof vents, running the air conditioner, or
some combination thereof� In addition, the emission of
formaldehyde by these products naturally decreases
rapidly over time�
Airstream strongly suggests that you take measures to
properly ventilate your trailer on a regular basis� If you
have any questions with respect to proper ventilation
of your trailer, please do not hesitate to contact your
dealer or Airstream�
Ventilation
To reduce or lessen exposure to chemicals from offgassing, it is of utmost importance that you ventilate
your recreational vehicle� Ventilation should occur
frequently after purchase and at times when the
temperatures and humidity are elevated� Remember,
off-gassing is accelerated by heat and humidity� Open
windows, exhaust vents, and doors� Operate ceiling
and/or other fans, roof air conditioners, and furnaces�
Use a fan to force stale air out and bring fresh air in�
Decreasing the ow of air by sealing the recreational
vehicle increases the formaldehyde level in the
vehicle’s indoor air�
Do Not Smoke
It is recommended you do not smoke inside your
recreational vehicle� In addition to causing damage
to your recreational vehicle, tobacco smoke releases
formaldehyde and other toxic chemicals�
Medical Advice
Questions regarding the effects of formaldehyde on
your health should be submitted to your doctor or local
health department�
Alarms and Detectors
Smoke Alarm
A smoke detector is provided with your trailer� A manual
pertaining to the detector is included in the paperwork
given to you at the dealership� Please read and follow
all care, maintenance, and safety information contained
in the smoke alarm manual�
The smoke alarm will beep once a minute for at least
30 days when the battery is weak� The battery must
immediately be replaced with a fresh one�
WARNING
Alarm battery is shipped deactivated. Check your
alarm for proper battery installation. To activate
battery, new Airstream owner must install included
battery to proper orientation.
WARNING
Smoke alarms have a limited life. The unit should
be replaced immediately if it is not operating
properly. You should always replace a smoke alarm
after 10 years from the date of purchase. Write the
purchase date on the space provided on the back
of unit.
If service is required or you have not received a smoke
alarm user’s manual, please contact the manufacturer,
your dealer, or Airstream Customer Service�

Safety
Carbon Monoxide Alarm
Carefully read and understand the contents of the
provided instruction manual before using the alarm�
Store the manual in a safe place for future reference�
Pay particular attention to the safety warnings� Pass
the manual on to any subsequent users of the alarm�
If service is required or you have not received a
Carbon Monoxide alarm user’s manual, please contact
the manufacturer, your dealer, or Airstream Customer
Service�
WARNING
Failure to replace this product by the “REPLACE
BY DATE” printed on the alarm cover may result in
death by Carbon Monoxide poisoning. Replace By
Date is six (6) years from the date of manufacture.
WARNING
Activation of your carbon monoxide (CO) alarm’s
audible horn indicates the presence of CO that can
kill you. Leave the area immediately!
NOTE
This carbon monoxide alarm is designed for indoor
use only. Do not expose to rain or moisture. Do not
knock or drop the alarm. Do not open or tamper
with the alarm as this could cause malfunction. The
alarm will not protect against the risk of carbon
monoxide poisoning when the batteries are dead or
missing. The alarm will only indicate the presence
of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon
monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
Important Safety Precautions
• Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced by the
incomplete combustion of fuels such as wood,
charcoal, coal, heating oil, parafn, gasoline, natural
gas, propane, butane, etc�
• Ideally, it is recommended that a CO alarm should be
installed in or near every room that has a fuel burning
appliance such as any room heaters, water heaters,
cookers, grills, etc�
• Ensure that the alarm horn can be heard by all those
who are intended to hear it� Seek medical help if it
is suspected that a user of the RV is suffering from
carbon monoxide poisoning�
WARNING
This product is intended for use in ordinary, indoor
locations of family living units. It is not designed
to measure compliance with occupational safety
and health administration (OSHA) commercial or
industrial standards. Individuals who are at special
risk from carbon monoxide exposure by reason of
age, pregnancy, or medical condition may consider
using warning devices which provide audible and
visual signals for carbon monoxide concentration
under 30 ppm. If in doubt, consult your medical
practitioner.
This Carbon Monoxide Alarm Is Not
• Designed to detect smoke, re, or any gas other than
carbon monoxide�
• To be seen as a substitute for the proper servicing of
fuel-burning appliances�
• To be used on an intermittent basis, or as a portable
alarm for spillage of combustion products from fuelburning appliances�
• If the alarm sounds, make sure to investigate the
problem� Ignoring the alarm may result in sickness,
injury or death� (CO may be present even if nothing
is seen or smelled by the user�)
• Room spaces should be well ventilated when
household cleaning supplies are used as these may
cause a false alarm�
• Alarm should be tested once per week� If further
details are required, which do not appear in this
manual, contact BRK Brands Inc� First Alert�
What Is Carbon Monoxide
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that
is released when fuels are burned� It is invisible, has
no smell, and is therefore very difcult to detect with
the human senses� Under normal conditions, in a room
where fuel-burning appliances are well maintained and
correctly ventilated, the amount of CO released into the
room by appliances is not dangerous�
These fuels include wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural
gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane� Common
appliances are often sources of CO� If they are not
properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or
malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly� CO is a real
danger in air-tight trailers with added insulation, sealed
windows, and other weatherproong that can trap CO
inside�
2-4 2017 Tommy Bahama TT
Safety
Revison 5
The following conditions can result in potentially
dangerous CO situations
1� Excessive spillage or reverse-venting of fuel-
burning appliances caused by outdoor conditions,
such as:
• Wind direction and/or velocity, including high
gusts of wind�
• Heavy air in the vent pipes (cold/humid air with
extended periods between cycles)�
• Negative pressure differential resulting from use
of exhaust fans�
• Simultaneous operation of several fuel-burning
appliances competing for limited internal air�
• Vent-pipe connections vibrating loose from
clothes dryers, furnaces, or water heaters�
• Obstructions in or unconventional vent-pipe
designs which can amplify the above situations�
2� Extended use of un-vented fuel burning devices�
3� Temperature increase that can trap exhaust gases
near the ground�
Symptoms of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The following symptoms are related to CO
POISONING:
• Mild Exposure - Slight headache, nausea, vomiting,
fatigue (u-like symptoms).
• Medium Exposure - Throbbing headache, drowsiness,
confusion, fast heart rate�
• Extreme Exposure - Convulsions, unconsciousness,
heart and lung failure� Exposure to CO can cause
brain damage and/or death�
Liquid Propane Gas (LPG) Detector
This alarm has a seven year life; see end-of-life
notication in LPG detector manual. Please read the
entire detector manual before operating the unit�
The LPG detector is located on the panel below the
wardrobe door� LPG is a mixture of gases produced
and sold commercially as a fuel for heating and
cooking appliances. LPG is highly ammable and,
as a result, can be explosive if ignited under certain
circumstances. LPG is heavier than air and, if conned
in a closed space, will accumulate close to the oor.
The LPG detector is designed to alarm at less than
25% of the legal explosive limit� It will provide a visual
and audible alarm by sounding an alarm every 5
seconds and lighting the red light emitting diode�
Your LPG detector is wired directly to your trailer
battery and incorporates a 1-amp, in-line fuse� It has no
internal battery backup� In normal stand-by mode, the
LED indicator will be green�
The house fuses are located inside the distribution
panel in the galley below the pantry door�
WARNING
Many causes of reported CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING indicate that while victims are aware
that they are not well, they become so disoriented
that they are unable to save themselves by either
exiting the building or calling for assistance. Also
young children and pets may be the rst to be
affected.
WARNING
Test units used in RVs after the vehicle has been in
storage, before each trip, and once a week while in
use. Failure to test units used in RVs as described
2017 Tommy Bahama TT
may remove your protection.
Low Voltage
The operating voltage for the detector is 12 VDC� The
actual voltage supplied to the detector in a recreational
vehicle may drop below the minimum 8 VDC� The
detector provides the user with a low voltage warning
before reaching that level and will provide additional
distinct, clear warnings and alarms after the 8 VDC
level is reached� However, if available power supplied
to the unit is below the operating voltage of 8 VDC,
the detector will not detect gas or provide protection
against dangerous levels of LPG�
2-5
Safety
Detector Test
The Test/Reset button is used to verify proper alarm
function� Executing the test function sounds the alarm
and illuminates the red LED� The test will sound the
alarm twice, with four beeps in 1 second, followed by
5 seconds of silence� By pressing the button, you can
verify that the alarm sounds and the LED functions
properly�
WARNING
Have a qualied technician check your LPG system
annually or if you detect any signs of leaks or
malfunctions.
WARNING
Activation of this detector indicates the possible
presence of LPG, which can cause an explosion
and/or re, causing serious injury or death. This
normally indicates a leak in the LPG installation
or an LPG appliance. Extinguish all open ames,
open your windows and door, and evacuate the unit
immediately. Do not activate any electrical switch.
Turn off the LPG at your gas tank(s). Do not re-enter
your unit until a qualied repair technician has
corrected the problem and certied the system as
safe.
Fire Extinguisher
The re extinguisher should be checked for charge on
a regular basis� Make sure your family, especially the
cook, knows how to release the extinguisher storage
bracket and how to properly operate the extinguisher�
Check with your local re department for professional
advice on its operation and use if you nd the
directions on the extinguisher unclear� They will be able
and willing to assist you and your family�
WARNING
It is not recommended that the detector be
disconnected from the battery during periods of
storage. There is a small heater on the sensor of
the device that burns away impurities in the air
during periods of normal use. During periods when
power is interrupted, impurities can build up on the
sensor. When power is returned to the detector,
the detector alarm may activate until the impurities
are burned off. This could take a number of hours,
during which time the alarm will be constantly on.
NOTE
Refer to Section 5 - Interior and Section 6 - Exterior
for additional LPG warnings and safety information.

General Information
Limited Warranty Policy
This Limited Warranty Covers
(i) The rst retail owner and any subsequent owners
(ii) ONLY those portions of a NEW travel trailer not
excluded under the section “What is Not Covered”,
when sold by an authorized dealership; and, (iii) ONLY
defects in workmanship performed and/or materials
used to assemble those portions of your travel trailer
not excluded under the section “What is Not Covered”� “Defect” means the failure of the workmanship
performed and/or materials used to conform with the
design and manufacturing specication and tolerances
of Airstream� The Limited Warranty is transferable and
the subsequent owner’s warranty coverage period
shall be the unexpired balance of the original warranty
coverage period� A completed copy of the Warranty
Transfer Form must be submitted to Airstream at the
time of resale�
Coverage Ends
24 Months after the rst retail owner rst takes delivery
of the travel trailer from an authorized dealership�
Any action for breach of this warranty or any implied
warranties must be commenced not more than 25
months after breach� Some states do not allow the
reduction of the time when a breach of warranty claim
must be commenced, so the reduction in time when a
breach of warranty claim must be commenced may not
apply to you�
Limitation Of Implied Warranties
Implied warranties arising under applicable law, if
any, including but not limited to implied warranties of
merchantability or tness for a particular purpose, are
hereby limited in duration to the term of this limited
warranty and are limited in scope of coverage to those
portions of the travel trailer covered by this limited
warranty� There are no express warranties or any
implied warranties of merchantability on those portions
of the travel trailer excluded from coverage� There is
no warranty of any nature made by airstream beyond
that contained in this limited warranty� No person has
authority to enlarge, amend or modify this limited warranty� The dealer is not airstream’s agent� Airstream is
not responsible for any undertaking, representation or
warranty made by any dealer or others beyond those
expressly set forth within this limited warranty� Some
states do not allow limitations on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply
to you�
Repair Remedy
Airstream’s sole and exclusive obligation is to repair
any covered defects discovered within the warranty
coverage period if: (1) within 10 days of your discovery
of a defect you notify Airstream OR an authorized
dealership of the defect; AND (2) you deliver your
Travel trailer to Airstream OR an authorized dealership
at your cost and expense�
Back-Up Remedy
If the primary repair remedy fails to successfully
cure any defect after a reasonable number of repair
attempts, your sole and exclusive remedy shall be to
have Airstream pay an independent service shop of
your choice to perform repairs to the defect OR if the
defect is incurable, have Airstream pay diminution in
value damages� The repair remedy and the back-up
remedy must both be exhausted and these remedies
must fail to fulll their essential purpose before you can
seek any legal or equitable relief� This limited warranty
is not a warranty that promises or extends to future
performance because the warranty does not make a
representation on how your travel trailer will perform in
the future but instead represents only what the remedy
will be if a defect exists�
Unless prohibited by state law, repairs will not extend
the time when you must commence a breach of
warranty claim and shall not extend the warranty
coverage period� Any performance of repairs after
the warranty coverage ends OR any performance of
repairs to those portions of your travel trailer excluded
from coverage shall be considered “good will” repairs�
Warranty repairs should be expected� Airstream
may use new and/or remanufactured parts and/or
components of substantially equal quality to complete
a repair� Damage to interior or exterior surfaces, trim,
upholstery and other appearance items may occur
at the factory during assembly, during delivery of the
travel trailer to your selling dealer or on the selling
dealer’s lot� Normally, any damage is detected and
corrected at the factory or by the selling dealer during
the inspection process� If you discover any damage
when you take delivery of your travel trailer, you MUST

Attention: Owner Relations Department
Airstream may direct you to an authorized Airstream
dealer, or may request that you bring your travel trailer
to the Airstream factory in Jackson Center, Ohio for
repairs�
Airstream does not control the scheduling of repairs
at its authorized Airstream dealers, and repairs at the
Airstream factory may not be immediately available�
Therefore, you may encounter delays in scheduling
repairs and/or completion of repairs� All costs
associated with transporting the travel trailer for any
warranty service shall be the sole responsibility of the
owner�
Events That Discharge Airstream’s Obligations
Under This Limited Warranty
Misuse or neglect, accidents, unauthorized alteration,
failure to provide reasonable and necessary
maintenance (see Owner’s Manual), damage caused
by off road use, collision, re, theft, vandalism,
explosions, overloading in excess of rated capacities,
and use of the travel trailer for commercial, business,
or rental purposes shall discharge Airstream from any
express or implied warranty obligation to repair any
resulting defect�
Airstream Limited Warranty Excludes
Normal Wear
Items such as curtains, upholstery, oor coverings,
window, door, and vent seals will show wear or may
even wear out within the 2-year warranty period,
depending upon the amount of usage, weather, and
atmospheric conditions�
Accident
We strongly urge our dealers and customers to inspect
the trailer upon receipt of delivery for any damage
caused by accident while being delivered to the dealer,
or while it is on the dealer’s lot� Damage of this nature
becomes the dealer or customer’s responsibility upon
acceptance of delivery, unless Airstream is notied
and the person making the delivery veries the
damage� Glass breakage, whether obviously struck or
mysterious, is always accidental and covered by most
insurance policies�
Abuse
Lack of customer care and/or improper maintenance
will result in early failure for which Airstream cannot be
held responsible�
Chemical Gassing
Chemical gassing is not a “Defect” in your recreational
vehicle and is not covered by the Limited Warranty�
Please follow the recommendations in this manual to
address this concern�

Revison 5
Exposure
Not unlike a car, the steel parts of a trailer can and will
rust if subjected to prolonged exposure to moisture, salt
air, or corrosive air-borne pollutants without repainting�
Aluminum oxidizes when unprotected under similar
conditions, and renery chemicals of a sulfurous nature
are harmful to nishes if not washed off periodically.
Extremely hot or direct sunlight will deteriorate rubber
and fade curtains and upholstery� Conditions of this
nature, although they may be normal for the area,
are beyond Airstream’s control and become the
responsibility of the owner�
It is the responsibility of the owner to take such
preventative measures as are necessary to maintain
the exterior caulking and sealer of your unit� It is the
responsibility of the owner to use reasonable, prudent
care to prevent foreseeable secondary damage from
rain, plumbing leaks, and the natural accumulation
of moisture in your unit, such as a delaminated oor;
stained upholstery, carpeting, or drapes, mold formation
and growth, furniture damage, etc� Mold is a natural
growth, given certain environmental conditions, and is
not covered by the terms of the Limited Warranty�
Overload
Damage due to loading, either beyond capacity or to
cause improper towing because of improper balance, is
beyond Airstream’s responsibility� The Airstream trailer
is engineered to properly handle the gross vehicle load
rating on the certication label. Load distribution has
a denite effect upon the towing characteristics and
attitudes of the trailer� Level hitch installations are a
necessity, and very important on a tandem axle trailer�
There are limits to the amount of load that can be
safely transported, depending upon speed and road
conditions, and reasonable cause to believe these
factors have been exceeded could void the Airstream
warranty� For additional information on the loading
of your trailer, consult this Owner’s Manual or gross
vehicle weight rating plate�
Service
Before leaving the factory, every vital part of the trailer
is tested for performance� Each test is signed and
certied by an inspector. After the trailer arrives on
your dealer’s lot, all vital parts and systems are again
tested� When you take delivery of your new trailer, you
will receive a complete check out�
At that time, a specied list of performance checks
on your trailer equipment will be conducted, and
any deciencies you have experienced since taking
delivery will be corrected�
Please contact your dealer if your trailer needs service�
Major service under your Airstream Limited Warranty is
available through our nationwide network of Airstream
Dealer Service Centers� An up-to-date list of Dealer
Service Centers will be sent to you with an Owner’s
Survey shortly after your trailer is delivered� Our web
site, www�Airstream�com also has a dealer locator on
it� This list is current as of the date of this publication�
Occasionally, dealerships change, or new dealers are
added who may not appear on this list� For this reason,
it is suggested that you contact your local dealer from
time to time for an updated list� Additional copies are
available if you need them� All centers operate on an
appointment basis for the utmost efciency.
When you require service for your trailer from the
Airstream Factory Service Center, or a Certied Dealer
Service Center, please contact the service manager
for an appointment, and inform him if you are unable
to keep the appointment date, or wish to change it�
Service may be arranged at the Factory Service Center
by contacting the Service Coordinator at:

The axle is manufactured to a tolerance of 1-degree
camber and 1/8 in� toe-in� These tolerances will only
change if the trailer is subjected to abuse, such as
dropping off a sharp berm, striking a curb, or hitting
a deep hole in the road� Such damage could be
considered as resulting from an accident, of which risks
are not covered under the warranty� Abnormal tire wear
and/or wheel alignment resulting from such damage is
not covered under the terms of the warranty�

Overnight Stop
Airstream owners have parked virtually in every place
imaginable, from lling stations to farmlands. In time,
you’ll develop a knack for spying wonderful little
roadside locations by turning off the main highway and
exploring�
There are many modern parks, including State, County,
and Federal parks, with good facilities where you
might obtain hookups of electrical, water, and sewer
connections� Directories are published which describe
in detail these parks and tell what is available in the
way of services and hookups�
On a longer trip, when you have stayed where sewer
connections and utility hookups were not available, it
will be necessary for you to stop from time to time to
dispose of the waste in the holding tank and replenish
the water supply� Many truck stops and gas stations,
chain and individually owned, have installed sanitary
dumping stations for just this purpose� Booklets are
available that list these dumping stations�
When stopping for the night, your Airstream is built
to be safely parked in any spot that is relatively level
and where the ground is rm. Your facilities are with
you� You are self-contained� Unless the tow vehicle
is needed for transportation, it is not necessary to
unhitch�
WARNING
At each campsite, make sure you have not parked
in such a manner as to block the operation of the
escape window by being too close to trees, fences,
or other impediments. Scenic views are one reason
for traveling, but don’t park so the beautiful lake or
steep cliff is just outside your escape window.
Choose the most level parking spot possible�
Stabilizing jacks or blocks may not be required for
an overnight stay� However, if you put the jack pad
on the hitch jack and run the hitch jack down to take
the weight off the tow vehicle’s springs, it will provide
some stability� If you must park on a slope, park facing
downhill� It is easier to level the trailer this way�
All you need to do to enjoy the self-contained luxury
of your Airstream is to turn on the LPG and light any
appliance pilot lights�
Before moving on, check your campsite, both for
cleanliness, and to be sure you have not left anything
behind� Turn off the gas supply and make sure
everything is properly stowed� Use your pre-travel
check list and you are ready for more travel adventure�
On overnight or weekend trips, chances are you will
not use up the capacity of the sewage holding tank,
deplete the water supply, or run down the batteries that
supply the 12-volt current�

Extended Stay
Making a long trip in your Airstream is not very different
from making a weekend excursion� Since everything
you need is right at hand, you are at home wherever
you go� When packing for an extended trip, take
everything you need, but only what you need�
When you plan to stay in the same place for several
days, weeks or months, you will want your trailer to
be as level and steady as possible� Check the attitude
with a small spirit level set on the inside work counter
or the trailer hitch A-frame (see diagram that follows
under Leveling)� If a correction is necessary, you must
level from side to side rst. This can be done easily by
backing the trailer up onto one or more 2 x 6 boards
(see diagram that follows under Leveling)� We do not
recommend placing tires in a hole for leveling�
Leveling
Level from front to rear by disconnecting the hitch from
the tow vehicle, putting the jack pad under the hitch
jack, and adjusting the jack up or down until the trailer
is level� Block or chock the wheels to keep the trailer
from rolling� Use stabilizing jacks at all four corners, as
shown in the diagram, to eliminate the natural spring
action of the axles�

WARNING
Whenever the trailer must be lifted with a jack, as
when changing a tire or leveling on very rough
terrain, always place the lifting jack under the
main frame rail. A label is provided to indicate the
proper position for the jack. Never use stabilizing
jacks to lift the trailer.
Refer to Section 8 - Maintenance for further information
on jacking�
Effects Of Prolonged Occupancy
Your trailer was designed primarily for recreational use
and short-term occupancy� If you expect to occupy the
trailer for an extended period, be prepared to deal with
condensation and the humid conditions that may be
encountered�
Moisture can condense on the inside surfaces of the
trailer during cold weather when relative humidity
of the interior air is high� This condition is increased
because the insulated walls of a recreation vehicle
are much thinner than house walls� Also, the relatively
small volume and tight, compact construction of
modern recreational vehicles means the normal living
activities of even a few occupants will lead to rapid
moisture saturation� Estimates indicate a family of four
can vaporize up to 3 gallons of water daily through
breathing, cooking, bathing, and washing� Unless
the water vapor is carried outside by ventilation or
condensed by a dehumidier, it will condense on the
inside of the windows and walls as moisture, or in
cold weather, as frost or ice� It may also condense
out of sight, within the walls or the ceiling, where it will
manifest itself as warped or stained panels�
Appearance of these conditions may indicate a serious
problem� When you recognize the signs of excessive
moisture and condensation in the trailer, action should
be taken to minimize their effects�

WARNING
Stabilizing jacks should only be used to stabilize

Tips To Control Condensation
Allow excess moisture to escape to the outside when:
• Bathing, washing dishes, hair drying, etc�
• Laundering, using appliances, and using non-vented
gas burners�
• Cooking (Always use the stove vent hood)�
Avoid dead air spaces by:
• Using a fan to keep air circulating�
• Leaving closet and cabinet doors partially open�
To help alleviate cold weather condensation:
• Keep the temperature as reasonably cool during cold
weather as possible�
• Allow your trailer to breathe; do not make it airtight�
• Allow some warm air to be removed and some cool
outside air in�
• Do not allow the furnace to recycle humid interior air;
provide reasonable ventilation�
In hot weather, starting the air conditioner early
will help remove excess humidity from the air while
lowering temperatures�
NOTE
Your trailer is not designed, nor intended, for
permanent housing. Use of this product for
long-term or permanent occupancy may lead
to premature deterioration of structure, interior
nishes, fabrics, carpeting, and drapes. Damage or
deterioration due to long-term occupancy may not
be considered normal, and may, under the terms of
the warranty, constitute misuse, abuse, or neglect,
and may therefore reduce the warranty protection.
Molds
Molds are microscopic organisms that naturally
occur in virtually every environment, indoors and
out� Outdoors, mold growth is important in the
decomposition of plants� Indoors, mold growth is
unfavorable� Left unchecked, molds break down
natural materials such as wood products and fabrics�
Protect your investment by understanding the potential
risks mold imposes�
Contributing Factors To Mold Growth
For mold growth to occur, temperatures, indoor or
outdoors, must be between 40° and 100°F, and must
also have a source of moisture, such as humidity,
standing water, damp materials, etc� Indoors, the most
rapid growth occurs with warm and humid conditions�
Inhibiting Mold Growth
By controlling relative humidity, the growth of mold and
mildew can be inhibited� In warm climates, use of the
air conditioner will reduce the relative humidity� Vents
are located in the bathing and cooking areas� Constant
use of these vents is advised during food preparation
and bathing, even during colder weather� Additionally,
opening a window during these activities will assist in
ventilation� In extremely humid conditions, the use of a
dehumidier can be helpful.
Frequent use of your trailer or cleaning regularly are
important preventive measures� Additionally, any
spills should be wiped up quickly and dried as soon
as possible� Avoid leaving damp items lying about�
On safe surfaces, use mold-or mildew-killing cleaning
products� Check sealants regularly, and reseal when
necessary to avoid water leaks� Proper preventive
maintenance to the trailer and its accessories, as
described both in this manual and in accompanying
literature, will provide the best protection to the trailer�
2017 Tommy Bahama TT
For more information concerning controlling moisture
in the trailer, read Tips to Control Condensation in this
section�
NOTE
If using a dehumidier, please read and follow all
manufacturer instructions and recommendations
for the use and cleaning of the dehumidier.

Waste Water System
The main parts of the waste water system are the
toilet, dual holding tanks, and tank dump valves (see
Section 8 - Maintenance for dump valve information)�
The system is designed to provide complete selfcontained toilet facilities, while on the road or parked,
without being connected to a sewage line� It may also
be used in the stationary position while connected to a
sewage hose�
Keep the dump valves closed with either method and
empty the tanks when they are nearly full� The idea is
to send a large volume of water through the tanks and
hose at the same time to oat solids away.
After the sewage tank has been emptied, close the
gate valves and put approximately 5 gallons of water
in the sewage holding tank� This will help prevent
solids from building up in the sewage holding tank� The
addition of a deodorizing agent like Aqua-Kem will help
prevent odors�
Should you ever have a buildup of solids, close the
valves, ll the tanks about 3/4 full with fresh water,
drive a distance to agitate the solids, and drain the
tanks�

Winter Traveling
Traveling in sub-freezing temperatures will require
certain precautions to protect the plumbing system
and your personal belongings from being damaged by
freezing�
Whenever possible, the heat should be kept set to
a constant temperature� It is easier for the furnace
to keep a constant room temperature than allow the
trailer temperature to drop to 50°F, and then attempt to
raise it to room temperature�
Some states do not allow LPG to be turned on while
moving� While traveling in these states, simply use
your common sense� How cold is it? How long will
it be before you can turn the heat back on? Is the
temperature dropping or rising? Remember, when
towing at 50 MPH, the wind chill factor will cause the
interior of the trailer to cool much faster than a trailer
that is parked�
When parked in sub-freezing temperatures, make sure
to keep a full supply of LPG and plug into a 120-volt
power source whenever possible�
Leave cabinet doors, wardrobes, and bed doors
partially open to allow warm air to circulate around
plumbing lines and xtures. Insulate and/or wrap your
exterior water lines with heat tape�

Safety
As always, safety should be a top priority� Ensure
you and everyone traveling with you can operate the
main door and emergency exit window rapidly, without
light� Contemplate other means of escape in case the
designated exits are blocked�
The escape windows(s) are identied by their red
release handles� Lift up on both latches to release the
escape window� Push on the glass and it will swing
clear�
WARNING
The window operation should be checked before
each trip and the latches lubricated with silicon
spray or an equivalent lubricant every 3 months.
WARNING
Read the directions on the re extinguisher
carefully. If you have any doubts as to its
operation, you and your family should practice,
and then replace or recharge the extinguisher. Your
local re department will be able to assist you and
answer any questions.
General Information
WARNING
Don’t smoke inside the trailer. Keep matches out of
reach of small children. Don’t clean with ammable
material. Keep ammable material away from open
ame. Always shut off the LP gas at the bottles
when fueling a tow vehicle.
We have all heard the above warnings many times,
yet the situations or occurrences they discuss are still
among the leading causes of res.

For precise cargo capacity, refer to the Cargo-Carrying
Capacity tag on the inside of the screen door. The
WEIGHT OF CARGO SHOULD NEVER EXCEED
numbers shown on the tag, which is the maximum
weight of cargo you can load and carry in your specic
trailer as built with its options.
Located on the front roadside of your trailer are the Tire
and Loading, and Vehicle Manufacturing tags.
Measuring Hitch Ball Height
The proper height will vary according to the weight you
carry and the tires you use. However, checking the
height on your trailer is relatively easy:
1. With trailer parked on fairly level ground, measure
from ground to bottom of frame, front and rear.
2. Adjust front jack until measurements are equal.
3. Now, measure from ground to the inside top of ball
coupler. This gure is the hitch height. The hitch
ball is then usually set 1/2 to 1 in. higher, according
to the spring rate of your tow vehicle, to allow for it
to settle when the trailer is hitched up.
Tire Size with Maximum Ination Pressure

and wheel rims, Maximum Cold Ination pressures, the
Vehicle Identication Number (VIN), and GAWR.
