The aircraft industry uses the same type of leak test to verify the 
pressurization capability of new and repaired aircraft. However, a veeeery 
low pressure is used due to the fact that the fuselage (read Airstream 
trailer) volume is so large that a catastrophic failure can be very 
dangerous and cause unrepairable damage to the fuselage. That test is run 
with the complete fuselage wrapped in heavy duty webbing to prevent pieces 
from flying during the catastrophic failure. Hopefully the dealer has the 
recommended maximum pressure as the Airstream is definitely not designed to 
be pressurized.
