Here are the “quick start” instructions for using your TRUMA:
MAINTENANCE AND SANITATION
fresh water tank and system (overview) … potable water (suitable for consumption) does NOT stay potable for a long period of time. Thus,
be sure to exercise caution when deciding whether to use your stored water for drinking. We recommend that you be conservative in making
this determination, and make every reasonable effort to use your stored water for washing, rinsing, and cleaning only. Regardless, you must
diligently maintain your water system, emptying and replacing your fresh water periodically. We also recommend that you separately
purchase and install a water purification system to attach to the sink faucet or at the city water inlet hose, especially if you plan on consuming
your stored water. See below discussion regarding sanitation.
filling the fresh water tank ….(1) prepare the inlet on the rear drivers side panel of the Cricket;
(2) Connect one end of a potable water transfer hose to a water supply, turn on the water supply and let the water run until it is clean and
clear; (3) Turn off the water supply, and place the other end of the transfer hose into the fresh water inlet located on the side of the trailer;
(4) Turn on the water supply and fill the tank until tank is full. Avoid overflowing tank as this can fill the vent tube with water. If the vent tube
gets full of water the tank can become difficult to fill. (5) Remove and store the hose; and (6) slide cap back into the fresh water tank inlet.
city water systems (overview) … city water systems are connected using your potable water hose at a hookup located on the exterior wall of
the trailer (far left of three total inlets) . Campground water systems have varying pressures, some of which can be too high for your trailer’s
plumbing system. Thus, a pressure regulator should be used to reduce the water pressure flowing to the trailer. Please also see discussion
of pressure regulators below.
Always connect to a quality water supply. A water supply delivered as potable is more likely to have been properly tested. If camping at a
site with a water well, look for labels and other markings that reflect testing and approval dates. If you are unable to determine this
information, be on guard and use caution before using the water supply provided at the site.
city water (connecting) … (1) Set the water pump switch located on interior panel to OFF; (2) get your fresh water hose, placing one end at
the hookup located on the exterior wall of the trailer (far left of three total inlets); (3) Turn on the site water supply, allowing the water to
switch location (located on flat portion of
right side top). The switch is ON, when the
front (closest to inside of trailer) of the
switch is pushed down.
