Overview; Operation; Using A Connection - SAFARI Trek 2002 Owner's Manual

P S O
LUMBING YSTEMS VERVIEW
Your Trek contains a full freshwater plumbing system capable of operating as a self-
contained unit or for making use of a pressurized water source. For camping away from
amenities, the system has a specially designed pump system that provides constant flow
even at low volumes. When a pressurized water source is available, the pump and tank
can be bypassed and the system will draw from the source.
O
PERATION
Your Trek has an outer compartment where all of the water flow is controlled. This system
includes several manifold valves, black tank flush, City Water Inlet, and many other features.
Figure 10 shows components of the system. The Fresh Water Fill selector valve, near the fill
connection, controls whether the outside water source is filling the tank or going directly
into the system. When the tank has been filled, the switch should be set to the OFF position
to prevent overflow. Regardless of the connection the water heater supplies all hot water.

Using A Connection

To use an outside water source you must first switch
the Fresh Water Fill selector valve located below and
to the right of the City Water hook-up to the OFF
position. When the valve is closed water flows directly
into the coach system. The selector should be on only
to fill the water tank or when using the water tank to
provide water. (See next section for details.)
Remove the plug from the fill spout and screw on the
hose from the water source. The hose should be clean
and rated "for potable water" (fit for drinking). Avoid
cheap plastic hoses - they often taint the water with
an unpleasant taste. Once the outside water source is
applied, the water system is pressurized and is ready
for use without any other pump. Water pressure in
the system is regulated to a maximum pressure of 50
pounds per square inch (PSI). The regulator is located
in the City Water hook-up connection.
