It has no electrical that we can see and no identification or name on it. But definitely a air type connection from it to the back of the coach. It looks fairly new but no paper work with the other manuals that were with the coach.

Dave what type of Air Barking system do you have.

Reference your rwar volume control, on my 2001 the volume knob above the bed controls the headphone volume. I have a RCA socket to use with a headset. Took some southern engineering to make it work when I replaced the old tv

Base plates installed on the 2013 Chevy Sonic and brake, turn signal and tail lights wired. I am still looking at the brake systems.

Thanks

I found out what this is, it's an Air Force One braking system from SMI Manf.

This is the unit that is installed on the coach and connects to the air brakes and has the rear air line connector that would go to the tow vehicle. I can save on the installation cost sine the coach unit is already installed and appears to be fairly new. I am still thinking this over.

Exclamation 2005 Airstream 396xl @ colonial airstream for sale

Hey, I drove to New Jersey last fall to inspect that Airstream 396xl, could not beleive they were asking $99,000.00 for it. We did a 4 hour inspection and found it needed to much work. Did you notice how bad the clearcoat cover was scratched in the front but you couldn't see it in the pictures ? Also, one of the hydraulic levelers needed to be replaced. The blue/grey corian countertops were deeply scratched throughout the whole motorhome. We figured the guy was screwgun happy because every nook and cranny had a Wal-Mart .99 cent item screwed into it. Take a good look at the cheap wood floor they installed as it goes under the slide ! If you want I can send you a detailed copy of our inspection. Hope you got it for $49,000.00

I got it for a good price and the main issues you mention were repaired. I am very happy with the coach.

Thanks, I am happy and everyone that's looked at this coach from Freightliner to my local Airstream RV shop and other 396 owners are happy with it.

The biggest problem will be the entrance and exit from some of these locations if there is a steep rise in or out of the lot. Try to pick a level location so as not to drag front of rear.

I would pay attention to getting high centered too. These are mighty long wheelbase. After towing all those years with 2004 Jayco 29Y, (before they raised stock ride height) I am kind of used to it.

Air coupler may be for toad brake system that uses air slave cylinder to actuate.

Yes it the Air Force One AIR FORCE ONE | SMI Manufacturing Inc. toad bake system. All I need to do is have the components required for the towed car installed. I am planning on doing that soon.

I will soon be installing my new MCD American Duo day night shades on the cockpit and windshield. After carefully measuring everything I placed the order earlier this week and they should arrive next week. The original pleated drapes that attach to a track along the top are still in very good condition with no tears or spots.

If you have a 2000 to 2005 Airstream 390 series Motor home and need replacement pleated drapes I would be happy to see them find a new home. Just PM me and I will send them to you once I start installing my new MCD shades, for jut the cost of shipping. I l also have all of the rollers for the track, clips to hold the track and the track sections themselves if you need them. If you have another model year Airstream Motor Home you can probably retro fit these. The the overall length is around 197" and the height is about 44".
