AIRSTREAM IS A PROMISE FULFILLED
Airstream 1977...the most sophisticated recreational vehicle in the world.
The 1977 Airstream is the culmination of a dream that took form over fortyfive years ago in a small plant in Los Angeles, California. It was then that
Wally Byam set out to build the 'perfect' recreational vehicle. It should provide first class living accommodations anywhere, anytime and operate totally
independent of outside connections. It should be light enough to be towed
by a standard passenger automobile and permit independent use of the car
when desired. And so it was that the Airstream travel trailer was born. As his
product won fame and his idea gained popularity, he reaffirmed the promise
so indelibly etched in the Wally Byam Creed. To this end, he originated caravans as a means of turning travel into fun, and to provide a proving ground
for new refinements and improvements that would make Airstream the most
advanced travel trailer in the world. Thus, Airstream, and the adventurous
pioneering spirit of the men who build them have helped thousands discover
new worlds of adventure. The Airstream philosophy has always been and
always will be, "Let's not make any changes — let's make only improvements!" Every inch of an Airstream has a functional purpose. There is no
planned obsolescence. This is as true of the 1977 model as it was of the first
Airstream to see the light of the open road. The classic Airstream of the
thirties is no museum piece. Still in use today, it is as sturdy and modern in
appearance as the first day it swung into traffic. As a result, an Airstream is
always "in style" —constructed as a lifetime investment. Today, the 1977
Airstream is the most thoroughly tested Airstream in history. It is years ahead
in engineering —the sum total of over forty-five years of experience in trailer
making, and over 10 million miles of Caravan travel throughout the world;
plus millions of miles more, run up by happy Airstream owners! More than
ever, the 1977 Airstream remains a testimonial to the practical vision, the
tenacity and know-how of one dedicated man —Wally Byam, and his team
who made travel dreams come true for people like you.

AIRSTREAM TOWS EASIER SAVES FUEL
The shape of a trailer determines fuel consumption
more than any other single factor. The Air Drag
Resistance graph below shows that at 55 mph a
square-type trailer requires 45 horsepower to overcome air drag while the aerodynamic Airstream requires only 30 horsepower. The Fuel Consumption
scale below shows that an Airstream requires 15%
less fuel at 55 mph than a square-type trailer and a
10% savings at 35 mph. Notice it requires substantially less horsepower and less fuel to tow a 29-foot
Airstream weighting 5200 Ibs. than a small 6x14
closed utility type trailer weighing 1800 Ibs.!

AIRSTREAM ENGINEERED TO GO ANYWHERE YOUR CAR CAN GO!
You've heard it said many times; Airstream is the pioneer of the American recreational vehicle industry. Quite
true, but what is probably more important to you is that
we've never stopped testing our product. We've never
stopped learning and we've never stopped improving.
An Airstream is specifically designed to travel over every
conceivable road condition ... good roads, bad roads,
no roads; and at all speeds from 0 to 100 mph. The 1977
Airstream represents the culmination of over forty-five
years of trailer experience and technology. Our field laboratory is the open road; Alaska, the Belgian Congo, the
Ethiopian desert, the jungles of Cambodia and the sawtooth mountains of Pakistan.
The secret of Airstream's famous towability lies in three
important factors; shape, weight distribution and running
gear. Let us first talk about shape. Study the Airstream
configuration. Airstream is the only recreational vehicle
that maintains a monocoque design, truly aerodynamic
with no flat areas or protrusions. This means minimum
resistance as you tow it along. When you get behind the
wheel for the first time, you will naturally expect to feel
a heavy weight behind you. But you won't! Instead, you'll
find yourself looking in the mirror to make sure the
Airstream is back there. When you go to pass a car on
the highway or climb an unusually steep hill, you'll do
it with almost the same ease as you do now with your
car alone. The reason for this, of course, is Airstream's
streamline shape. Remember two important points: Air
10
drag increases with speed, and fuel consumption increases in relation to the horsepower requirement. If you
tow a square-type trailer, it requires roughly 45 horsepower at 55 mph to overcome air resistance. If you drive
a typical camper or motorhome, you will require about
60 horsepower to overcome drag. With an Airstream, the
air drag requirement is only 30 horsepower at 55 mph.
Thus it requires 150% more horsepower and 15% more
gasoline to pull a smaller square-type trailer. It requires
200% more horsepower and 17% more fuel to drive a
truck-mounted vehicle or square-type motorhome than
a larger Airstream! In fact, at 40 mph an Airstream weighing 5200 Ibs. is easier to tow and uses /ess fuel than a
little 6 x 1 4 closed utility type trailer weighing 1800 Ibs.!
The second factor in towability is weight distribution.
Proper weight distribution is essential if good road handling characteristics are to be achieved. Basically, the
lighter the body and the heavier the bottom of any vehicle, the lower the center of gravity. A low center of
gravity means greater stability at all speeds and less
affect by high cross winds. Airstream's ideal low center
of gravity gives these advantages and also keeps the
trailer straight when the brakes are applied. Do not overlook this vital factor. Compare the weight distribution of
an Airstream of any size with any other recreation vehicle. You will discover that 60% of an Airstream's total
weight is concentrated at the floor line, providing for an
extremely low vertical center of gravity. Airstream's light-

weight aluminum body is bolted and riveted to the rugged
steel chassis. Heavy fixtures such as the refrigerator are
mounted on the floor (where heavy loads belong) and
bolted to the chassis. The 45-gallon water tank (a major
factor when filled) is mounted just forward of the axle,
providing for a lighter and more constant hitch weight.
This entire scientific system of weight distribution (we
call it "balanced ride") results in a recreational vehicle
with remarkable road-handling characteristics at any
speed. Take an Airstream into the mountains with plenty
of hairpin turns. Again, you realize there is no sensation
of pulling or being pushed. Every move your car makes,
the Airstream makes. Long curves, tight hairpin turns,
steep grades up or down, and on the level... car and
Airstream move together as one. What other recreational
vehicle is so perfectly balanced?
Now let us talk about running gear. Airstream's running
gear is the Super Dura-Torque axle. We developed this
running gear as a result of the African Caravan when our
ordinary axles were snapping like matchsticks. We made
some modifications based on our experience during the
Round the World Caravan and we've made additional
important improvements. A new super-resilient material
now replaces the rubber torsion bars. Airstream and only
Airstream offers this new material. The result is the Super
Dura-Torque axle lasts longer and absorbs 50% more
road vibrations for greater stability and a remarkably
smoother ride! Airstream's Super Dura-Torque axle eliminates all the problems related to conventional axles. We
couldn't possibly have gotten a Caravan of forty-four
trailers through Southeast Asia without it. The Super
Dura-Torque axle provides Airstream with the most thoroughly travel-tested torsion bar independent wheel suspension for travel trailers in the world. Shocks from
uneven road surfaces, pits, ruts and chuckholes are ab-

sorbed. This means you can leave the highway (as we
had to do in Thailand and Cambodia) and travel across
unimproved terrain with complete confidence. In short,
if your car can get there without an Airstream, you can
get there with the biggest trailer we build ... our 31-foot
Sovereign of the Road. In addition to the Super DuraTorque axle, Airstream's wide wheel stance stabilizes
the trailer even more. Airstream wheels stand 80-inches
apart from center of tread to center of tread. Compare
this to 63-inches apart for the average pickup truck and
66.3-inches for the typical motorhome. These three factors — shape, weight distribution and running gear —
give Airstream a remarkable lateral stability not found
in other recreational vehicles. You can take an Airstream
down a highway and drive on and off the shoulder. There
is no tendency to fishtail; it holds the road equally well
on the uneven shoulder as on the pavement. You can do
60 mph and slam on the brakes. You will come to a
straight, smooth stop without slipping, sliding or jerking.
This is because when you apply the car brakes, the
Excella-Vac disc brakes synchronize the trailer brakes
instantly, automatically, electronically.
You have a standing invitation to try any of the above
road tests yourself at any Airstream dealer.
Consider and compare Airstream's superior road handling characteristics before you choose your recreational
vehicle. A travel trailer allows you to drive in the familiar
comfort of your car; it allows you to unhitch and use your
car whenever you like... an Airstream simply lets you do
it more conveniently, more comfortably. No other travel
trailer — n o other recreational vehicle can provide this
degree of safety, comfort and convenience. Choose your
recreational vehicle carefully. Remember... if there is a
better way Airstream will do it first.
THE MOST IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENT IN RECREATIONAL VEHICLE HISTORY!
AIRSTREAM INTRODUCES
EXCELLA-VAC DISC BRAKES
In 1977 Airstream introduces the most important new
feature in the annals of trailering ... the remarkable
Excella-Vac caliper disc brakes. This dramatic advancement is offered exclusively by Airstream. No other recreational vehicle in the world has it.
And just why are these new brakes so important to you?
Because they provide you with four important benefits:
greater safety, substantially longer brake life, self-adjustment, and a new dimension in towing confidence.
By virtue of a miniature computer in the controller, the
Excella-Vac disc brakes are engaged to the exact same
winding mountain road driving across snow or on loose
dirt — the Excella-Vac disc brakes bring you to a sure,
straight, comfortable stop. No swerving, no jerking effect.
You travel with new security, a new feeling of confidence
you've never experienced before.
The disc brakes themselves are mounted on all four
wheels of your trailer. It is a large steel disc. At one point
there is a caliper with large pads. When the brakes are
engaged, the calipers apply squeezing pressure on the
disc, stopping the trailer. As the pads wear, the caliper
closes up to maintain the proper distance. This is why
they never require adjustment.
Your car will require some preparation for the ExcellaVac disc brakes. If your car is now equipped for towing
with conventional brakes, your Airstream service man
will simply add a hose running from your engine's vacuum outlet to the coupler mounted on the rear of the
towing vehicle. The conventional hydraulic line and 7way connector and break-away line remains the same
as before.
There are two important things you should remember.
When you are not hooked up to your trailer, you must
plug the vacuum line at the rear of the car. An extra plug

degrees as the tow car brakes. Car brakes and trailer
brakes are in perfect harmony electronically. The net
result is a quick, smooth, comfortable stop without the
tendency to skid or fishtail. The new disc brakes never
fade due to overheating and will never need adjustment.
To fully appreciate the new Excella-Vac disc brakes, you
should know exactly how the system works:
The new Excella-Vac disc brakes operate on a combination of hydraulic, electrical and vacuum systems. When
you apply the brakes, the miniature computer in the controller mounted on the dash, senses hydraulic pressure
in the car and instantly converts it to an electrical signal
which in turn sends another signal to the vacuum system
in the trailer and activates the brakes. All this happens
in thousandths of a second. And the trailer brakes respond in direct relationship with the car brakes. That is
to say, if you touch your brake pedal lightly, the trailer
brakes engage lightly. If you brake hard, the trailer brakes
hard. Your stop is electronically measured and activated
instantly.
Because all systems are instantly synchronized, you stop
straight and smooth every time. Whether you're on a

is provided. Secondly, when you disconnect the trailer,
depress the vacuum release valve on the front of the
trailer to expel the vacuum in the trailer. The reason
for this is because when you disconnect your trailer the
remaining vacuum in the trailer will engage the trailer
brakes. Do not use this remaining vacuum for parking
brakes.
Remember... when you are towing a 1977 Airstream
equipped with Excella-Vac disc brakes, you are traveling
with the most advanced braking system in the world ...
safer, smoother and longer lasting.

ANATOMY OF AN AIRSTREAM
BUILT FOR WORLD TRAVEL AND DURABILITY
An Airstream travel trailer has earned the reputation of being
the lightest, strongest, easiest-towing travel trailer in the
world. The Airstream body begins with a special heat-treated
aluminum alloy. Airstream is the only travel trailer manufacturer using this special load bearing aluminum. It looks the
same as ordinary aluminum, however it has many times the
tensile strength of common aluminum. It has a remarkable
strength-to-weight ratio and it has superior resistance to fatigue. This super strong aluminum is stretch-formed and then
assembled in special jigs that maintain precision tolerances.
As the aluminum alloy is stretched, it becomes stronger due
to the molecular rearrangement of the metal itself. This is why
the entire Airstream fuselage is self-supporting, yet the entire
outside shell of a 31-foot Airstream weighs just 633 pounds!
The lightweight Airstream fuselage is now mounted on
Airstream's exclusive Aerostress chassis. The Aerostress
chassis is constructed of special high-strength steel alloy
which we have rolled to our specifications. The entire chassis
is electrically welded including the main beams and cross
members. This reduces stress concentration and forms a
strong unitized chassis. The shell is then riveted and bolted
to the chassis.
14
All openings for windows, main door and trunk doors are fitted
with a one-piece, stretch-formed aluminum frame. These
frames cannot vibrate loose and provide 360° protection
against the elements.
The Airstream 12-volt electrical system is as reliable as any
system can be. Each connection is crimped and soldered by
sophisticated automated machines for maximum dependability no matter where in the world you might be. The complete
wiring harness assembly is installed in the ceiling for easy
access. All 12-volt electrical equipment is attached to the system with quick-disconnect, moulded connectors.
All seams, rivet heads and window openings receive a heavy
(continued on page 16)
1. The Airstream travel trailer is totally insulated with the most
effective insulating material in the industry. The entire body
...top, sides, under the floor and over the wheel-housings
... is protected with a 21A-inch temperature-resistant mattress
of quality aerocore fiberglass; impervious to flame, water, vermin or settling. This, combined with the reflective outside alu-
minum, helps keep your Airstream cool in summer and warm
in winter.
2. Before the interior skin is added, each Airstream is subjected to this water tightness test. A veritable cloudburst pours
one and a half inches of wind-driven rainfall per minute for a
period of seven minutes. This test meets MIL-S-52059 which is
the rain test for all American military shelters, including those
on board our naval vessels.
3. In Airstream's exclusive Perma-Tech furniture, strong but
lightweight extruded and anodized aluminum frames replace
old heavy wood framing. Wood paneling has been replaced
with high-pressure laminates that look and feel like wood. This
material is impervious to almost everything and will stay new
looking practically forever. High pressure laminates resist
scratches and stains; never check, bubble or peel. In place of
nails, screws or rivets, all furnishings are assembled with
spring-steel vise grips.
4. Optional double-pane Nitro-Therm windows may be installed throughout the entire trailer. The space between the
two panes of glass is filled with dry nitrogen to form an effective, permanent insulation. These windows help keep an
Airstream warmer in winter, cooler in summer. And Airstream's
Nitro-Therm windows never fog up —never! Glass is Pittsburgh's Herculite safety glass. This 5/32-inch thick, heat tempered glass exceeds the strength of laminated safety glass.
5. Vented built-in battery compartment is completely sealed
from the interior of the trailer and provides convenient slideout serviceability for the 12-volt 105-ampere hour battery.
Note that the battery cable terminals are completely covered
and have quick-disconnects for easy removal of the battery.
6. Airstream dual waste system holds wash water from galley
sink, bathroom sink, tub and shower. Eliminates need for outside drain bucket. Meets state requirements.
7. 7a, 7b, 7c. Exclusive, fold-away aluminum step. Another
first! Lightweight impervious to rust, easily operated, but sure
and strong. Using the fold-down principle of the early stagecoach steps, the new Airstream entrance step extends to become a two-tiered entranceway. (Step extension is optional.)
8. Airstream's exclusive space-age construction principles
provide maximum strength with the least possible weight.
Lightweight, stretch-formed aluminum bows outline the shape
of the body and are unitized by stretch-formed aluminum
longitudinal stringers which extend the entire length of the
body. An exterior skin of heat-treated, structural alloy aluminum is then riveted to the outside of this framework. A second
skin of structural aluminum is riveted to the interior.
9. Airstream's concentrated strength comes not from weight,
but from engineered contouring where tensional, shearing
and torsional stresses act in balanced support. The smaller
man on the left easily lifts one end while the man on the right
just as easily chins himself on the identical assembly.

coating of a special sealing compound. Then, the Airstream
is placed in a chamber and subjected to a fierce water tightness test. A man-made cloudburst pours over 11/2-inches of
wind-driven rain per minute for a period of seven minutes.
This is the same test required of all American military shelters including those aboard our naval vessels. Now you can
be sure your Airstream is water tight for good!
Caravan travel has taken us through every possible kind of
weather condition. We've experienced extreme cold (near the
Himalayas in Nepal) and extreme heat (in the merciless
Nubian Desert in North Africa). Airstream's highly efficient
insulation has been tested and proven throughout the world.
The purpose of any insulator is to keep the air between the
walls from moving. Experience has taught us that fiberglass
does this better than any other material available. In fact,
aerocore fiberglass is used on all passenger jet aircraft. Every
square inch of an Airstream is insulated with a 21/4-inch thick
mattress of aerocore fiberglass. The top, the sides — even under the floor and over the wheel housings —are quilted with
this superior insulating material. Airstream insulation is impervious to flame, water, vermin, or settling. The interior
vinyl-coated aluminum skin is then installed and the underbelly enclosed. This explains how an Airstream provides superior weather protection in any region.
The Super Dura-Torque axle, Airstream's remarkable running
gear, is also the result of millions of miles of Caravan travel.
The conventional axle and old-fashioned steel springs, still in
use on most travel trailers, have been replaced by a unique
16
rubber torsion bar independent wheel suspension. With the
Super Dura-Torque axle, your Airstream is actually floating on
torsion bars and stabilized by heavy-duty shock absorbers. To
fabricate the axle, the bars are frozen to a temperature of 120°
below zero. This reduces the bars to one half their normal size.
After the frozen bar has been installed, it returns to its normal
shape and becomes a permanent part of the assembly. The
Super Dura-Torque axle absorbs the jolts of off-the-road travel.
Because there are no springs hanging below the trailer, ground
clearance is increased by seven inches. And since there are
148 fewer working parts than in the conventional axle, the
Super Dura-Torque axle never needs lubricating and is practically unaffected by wear.
As you can see, Airstreams cannot be stamped out. An
Airstream is the result of superior materials, world-wide travel
testing and skilled hands. It cannot be done another way.
10. Quick-disconnect, moulded electrical connectors provide
a positive short-proof attachment to the electrical harness of
the trailer for all electrical equipment.
11. There are no flat areas anywhere on an Airstream to create drag. The smoothly rounded ends are achieved by handriveting segments of heat treated, stretch-formed structure
alloy aluminum in special jigs which control assembly
tolerances.
12. Super Dura-Torque axles with the exclusive remarkably
resilient material provides Airstream with the most traveltested torsion bar independent wheel suspension in the industry. The extraordinary Super Dura-Torque axle eliminates 148
obsolete parts, never needs lubricating and increases ground
clearance by 7-inches. Proved and improved over millions of
miles of primitive roads throughout the world. Notice the oversize shock absorbers on every wheel.
13. The 1977 Aerostress chassis achieves a greater strengthto-weight ratio than ever before. Special high tensile strength
alloy steel rolled to Airstream's own specifications provides
remarkable tank-like strength and yet, through the aircraft construction principle of flanged, perforated beams, Airstream's
chassis is surprisingly lightweight. Every part of the trailer
floor is supported. The aluminum bumper is bolted directly to
the main beam of the chassis. The polyethylene water tank is
encased in a blanket of insulation under the floor and just forward of the axles. The weight of the water it carries contributes
to the extremely low center of gravity and Airstream's exclusive balanced ride towing concept.
16. The interior "skin" of vinyl-laminated structural aluminum
alloy is hand-riveted in place last. All Airstream interiors are
finished with this jetliner textured vinyl fabric. The covering
is permanently bonded to the aluminum. It resists scratches
and grime, stays new looking longer.
17. Aircraft styled main door and screen is constructed with
extruded, stretch-formed aluminum framework. Lighter yet
stronger. Dual aircraft type hinges on both screen and main
door offer travel security.
18. Exclusive optional aluminum forged wheels. Airstream
wheels carry the highest load rating in the industry! Lightweight yet super strong and extremely long lasting. No hubcaps to remove or lose. No scratching or rusting.
14. The exclusive aluminum main door latch and lock fits
flush against the body of the Airstream and provides for easy,
positive openings and closing of the main door. The lock is
made of machined stainless steel parts; includes a die-cast
latch bar so that the door can never vibrate open in travel.
AIRSTREAM'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE MOON LANDING
Airstream's tradition of superb construction was never more
dramatically illustrated than during the final phase of the
Apollo 11, first man on the moon, project. Airstream built the
Mobile Quarantine Facility which contained and isolated the
astronauts during their triumphant return from splashdown
at sea until their arrival in Houston. The MQF's job: to provide living quarters for the astronauts and their attending
physician while barring entry to any hypothetical living organism which they might have carried back to earth.
15. Hand-fill water pocket has outside, lockable door which
will support a five-gallon water pail. This is an important feature for those Airstream owners who travel in Mexico where
bottled water is used almost exclusively.
Airtight, incredibly rugged so as to withstand the arduous
trip, yet light enough for an airplane to carry with four men
aboard, the MQF saw them to Houston comfortably while assuring scientists that the risk of contamination was minimal.

AIRSTREAM 1977- NEW IMPROVEMENTS
FOR MORE TRAVEL/LIVING LUXURY!
The degree of luxury offered by the 1977 Airstream has
never been achieved in any other recreational vehicle.
Every detail inside and out is designed for practical
travel function and enduring beauty. In 1977 you may
select from five decorator color schemes, two wood finishes. The meticulous craftsmanship so obvious in the
1977 Airstream as always reflects the Airstream standard
of quality.
1. The ultimate in travel convenience! You can light the
furnace quickly and automatically simply by turning the
switch located near the thermostat.
2. All cabinets and wardrobe doors feature Posi-Lok
latches. This ingenious latch is injection molded of
"Delrin" with an integral spring of the same material.
The result is a latch that opens easily, closes securely,
won't rattle, never needs adjustment and far out-lives
the old metal spring.
3. Added galley convenience! A new wastebasket is
located under the sink in many models.
4. Combination ceiling vent-light fixtures. Another
20
Airstream exclusive! The 6-bulb fixture conceals a
screened ceiling vent which operates to full open position with two turns of a single knob. Three-position light
switches provide varying degrees of illumination. The
quiet ceiling fans turn on automatically when the ceiling
vent is extended to its full open position.
5. New Airstream roof lockers are stronger yet lighter in
weight. Notice the clean, sleek, decorator appearance.
6. An Airstream is designed to provide ample storage
space for long range travel.
7. New optional overhead bath exhaust fan is more convenient, more efficient than ever before.
8. New for 1977! Handsome, optional digital clock. Features easy-to-read numbers and quick re-set buttons.
9. Central Control Panel. This remarkable optional feature lets you check on the condition of all utilities quickly.
Simply press a button and you can determine the amount
of battery power on hand; you can check on the levels
of both main and wash water holding tanks. An instrument also tells you whether or not your water pump is
running and the amount of fresh water in your tank.
AIRSTREAM 1977• OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
FOR ADDITIONAL TRAVEL/LIVING COMFORT!
A number of comfort and convenience features are now
available at extra cost. See your Airstream dealer for
details.
1. An important convenience item for the long range
traveler is this extra battery.
2. New for 1977. A new window in the main door brings
more light into the living area while allowing you to see
out.
3. Airstream exclusive! Vista-View double pane skylight
windows are nitrogen filled. The new Nitro-Therm feature means no fogging, no leaking. Vista-Views are also
treated with 3-M Scotchtint to repel over 80 percent of
the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays and bright glare. Airlinetype shades close windows when desired.
4. The new 12-volt Jac-Power-Pac eliminates handcranking. Just push a switch and your trailer raises or
lowers to the proper height in seconds. New Lennox aluminum gas cylinders offer more butane gas capacity with

CERTIFIED
PERFORMANCE CHECK-OUT
Certified Performance Check-Out is a new plan that
maximizes the reliability of every working part in your
Airstream. Here's what CPC will do for you: Before
leaving the factory, each and every vital part of an
Airstream is tested for performance. Each test is signed
and certified by the inspector. When the trailer arrives
on,the dealer's lot, all of these vital parts are tested and
certified once more. Then, when you take delivery, a
factory-trained trailer expert will personally give you a
complete check-out. He shows you how everything in
your trailer operates. Your dealer also provides you with
a complete owner's manual. But CPC doesn't stop here.
After 1,000 miles or 60 days (whichever occurs first)
you can pull into any Airstream dealer for still another
thorough free checkup. CPC is just one more step in our
endless search for complete customer satisfaction.
HIGHER RESALE VALUE
At Airstream we never stop testing our product; we
travel in it, we live in it. We never stop organizing Caravans and exciting activities. We are continually looking
for new ways to improve both the product and the service. No wonder Airstream is the most wanted travel
trailer in the world! Since 1934 Airstreamers have built
an enviable reputation as good travelers; as an
Airstreamer, you can expect a warm welcome wherever
you go, here in America or anywhere in the world. It
is this kind of prestige that keeps the value of your
Airstream up and depreciation low. A good example of
this is the Caravanner Insurance Company's depreciation table which allows you to depreciate your Airstream
at a lower rate than other travel trailers. The fact is, no
34
other travel trailer maintains such a high value after
purchase. When you buy an Airstream, you are making
a sound investment that pays big dividends in pleasure.
CERTIFIED
SERVICE CENTERS
The question most frequently asked after the purchase
of a travel trailer is, "Where can I get service?" We at
Airstream have long believed that after-sale service is
part of what you're buying when you buy a travel trailer.
Therefore, in addition to our two factories, we provide
you with a national network of Certified Service Centers.
Airstream Certified Service Centers cover every state in
the continental United States. Here you will find capable, factory-trained personnel certified to perform all
guarantee work, major and minor repairs. Every Certified Service Center is qualified in all phases of Airstream
maintenance and each is recognized as an official service agent by the manufacturers of Airstream components. This means complete, and competent service
work on any part of your Airstream and everything in
it. We are proud to say that Airstream is the first manufacturer to recognize this need and the first to establish
Certified Service Centers. Reliable service is available
wherever you go!
AIRSTREAM

authorized dealer, Airstream warrants to you that, except for tires and batteries, it will pay for the repair or
replacement of any part of your trailer or any component
equipment installed by the factory that is defective in
