How-To | Comprehensive Guide to Hooking up Your Airstream Trailer

[@jamescarey6078]

Great information! Thank you. Many of the campground sewer ports are threaded. The adapter attached to the clear elbow is also threaded. Screwing the adapter into the sewer port makes for a secure and odor free connection. No rock or brick necessary to hold the clear elbow into place.

Great video - we just purchased our first RV yesterday - a Classic 30 and are looking forward to traveling with it. But this is a great tip on hooking up, especially for first timers.

[@1533ramsay]

you put glam into Airstreaming! ;-) Thanks, very well done.

[@pwea1anda2]

this is excellent for first time buyers . thx for the post . Ive been looking at many Airstreams and wondered about living in one after purchase ...

Hey in this video she has the sewer flush but never does anything with it. If the black and grey water tanks flush out all the sewage and water from sinks and the shower, then what's the Sewer Flush port for?

[@markferwerda7968]

Excellent video -- the best instruction I've seen on this topic!

[@PaulDeNardo]

Mark Ferwerda great video. Comprehensive be engaging!!!! Thanks so much!

Someone gave me a great tip for keeping the sewer hose in the ground fitting. (where you put bricks). Get an old pair of tube socks and fill one with gravel, secure with a cable tie, insert it into the other sock, secure with another cable tie. You now have a "sand bag" to drop on the hose. It's heavy, flexible, and cheap! Keep it where you store your gloves, etc.

[@allenslansky]

I also try to make sure my water hose and power cord never cross the sewer hose. JIC.

The Bambi 16' has a combined Black/Gray water tank, which makes me wonder if it is better to have separate Black water tank and Gray water tank? It's my dream to one day own a Bambi 16'.

[@flpirate4565]

very good video

[@loujohnson9512]

Screw the sewer head into the ground outlet. It won't jump out at you.

[@DennisMathias]

I don't have one..but interesting technology!

[@jwlake7936]

Can you leave both of your tanks open and just have them automatically drain through the sewer hose with each use?

[@CastFromTheHip]

Just bought a 1987 Sovereign....let’s do this.

[@usahome]

You should put on gloves before you touch that sewer hose. I would not recommend handling that sewer hose (removing it from the bumper storage bay) with out gloves on.

[@marshallbigdaddystravels2481]

I noticed the same thing. She stuck her fingers in the hose to pull it out of the bumper storage bay. I was wondering if I was going to be the only one. Haha.

[@Boodieman72]

I guess you can do that ONCE when its new. lol

Do you leave the valves open while you are attached to the sewer? Or do you only open them when you are going to 'flush' them out and empty them?

Richard Schank no

From what year did Airstream start including the water pressure and filter?

[@TheLargemarge1]

What, exactly does the water filter... filter?

[@Embarq007]

Not that one way is more correct than the other, but we would hook up the Portible water to the source and just run a little water through it before hooking it up to the trailer. Is it necessary? Probably not but it does get any funk washed out before you hook it up to the trailer

@@joeslacker1020 Generally that’s used if you were dumping at a dump station, it provides a good cleaning of the tanks, don’t ever hook up your portable water hose to the black tank flush which was located above the portable supply line.

[@joeslacker1020]

@@Embarq007 ok so thats why she used the way she did in the video... my other question to you would be if i dont have a sewer hookup like the ones in rv parks as she showed in the video for the black and grey water tanks. Then where would i dump it -- i have land like that of an rv park right now with a bank, bushes trees etc i wonder if i could dump it there somewhere or hook it to the main house somehow from my travel trailer.

[@Embarq007]

@@joeslacker1020 Do you have a clean out on your septic line from the main house? A lot of these are a 4 inch PVC pipe that comes to the surface. You can remove the 4 inch cap off of the PVC and put your 90° elbow straight into that

[@joeslacker1020]

@@Embarq007 I think I've seen these before when I was using my Dr Field and Brush mower to earn money clearing fields and yards for people with stickers and small trees. But is there any other options you can think of or is it literally just a sewer disposal is the only option for this problem?

[@jerkyturkey007]

The sewer pipe as you called it is otherwise known as the stinky slinky. FYI.

[@mcshew]

Ewww, you touched those poop bricks!! I guarantee people tap their hoses on those bricks after pulling it out of the hole!!

[@stephenmurphy7448]

This video does a disservice to any viewer who is trying to learn about hooking up to shore power. It makes a fundamental mistake when demonstrating the process. It tells you to FIRST plug power chord into trailer then into power source. ABSOLUTELY WRONG. The first thing to do is to test the shore power for continuity with valid tester. Then shut off breaker at power source ….plug in cable to trailer and power source…then you throw breaker at power source on.
