Welcome to the forum!

We had a 1985 Sovereign, but I don't remember where the breakers were. Seems to me they were close to where the tow vehicle umbilical cord came into the trailer, behind the front couch/gaucho.

You may find a more focused audience in the sub-forum for your model IMO;

Good luck,

Peter

Check the panel below the double closet doors, across from the bath. I can't remember if it opens or just pulls off. It is an oak panel.

If it is still in its original location>
If you have the double bed, look inside the night stand at the street side rear corner.
If you have the twin, look either under the street side bed or inside the center bedside table.

look at page 43 in this manual (could not find the 86 manual) for a general location.
https://www.airstream.com/wp-content...manual-138.pdf

ps: seems like I remember seeing one inside the street side closet near the closet floor (back wall lower left corner when looking in the door), but that's been ~25 years ago. Memory is fading...……..

Thanks for the memory jog Alan!

Our shore power came into the street side rear corner, so the breaker panel should be close. Pretty small trailer . . . look in all the nooks and crannies!

Hi, THANKS for all the suggestions and material references from everyone. I have looked at all the areas suggested and so far, no luck. I found the junction box where the shore power comes in, but nope...so, I will keep hunting this mystery down!

Do you have the owner's manual?

https://www.airstream.com/owners/doc...ve/product/tt/
https://www.airstream.com/owners/doc.../tt/year/1986/

On this last page, you can pull up floor plans etc., but I don't see any actual manuals.

What length is yours? We had a 25' rear corner bed, and I think the breakers were in an upper cabinet over the bed, more or less above where the shore power umbilical entered the street side rear. Have you looked in the upper cabinets, and under/behind all the beds/couches/gouchos?

Good luck,

Peter

PS -- Did you see these threads in the Sovereign sub-forum linked earlier?

Your could post new messages there, or send Private Messages to the posters, to locate a source. The AS manual links don't work anymore.

Purely a guess but check overhead cabinets in the back of the trailer.


All the best,
