overview
…. your trailer’s fresh water system is a vital part of your traveling life while on the road. Your CAMP or TREK trailer is equipped
with a dual supply water system: (1) the demand fresh water system operates from the trailer’s supply tank and water pump ; and (2) the
“city water” hookup allows you to connect to a pressurized external water system at a campground.
Fresh water is stored in a plastic tank located below the floor of the trailer. The tank is vented to allow proper and complete filling. The
drain valve allows you to drain the tank. Always drain the tank before storing the trailer for long periods. When the trailer is in continuous
use for an extended period (generally over a month). Drain and clean the tank monthly. The entire fresh water system should be sanitized
before the first use, after a reasonable period of nonuse, and when the system is contaminated. Please also see below for more information
on sanitation and routine tank maintenance.
The easiest way to keep the tank full of clean water is to use (1) a dedicated clean water hose and (2) a filter system inline with your hose .
You will need to purchase these two (2) items separately.
Note regarding your fresh water hose: Never use the hose for anything except filling the freshwater tank or connecting to city water, and always
store it independently of other hoses and plumbing supplies. Also remember that nothing should pass through the fresh water hose unless it first
passes through a filter inline with the hose.
Non-toxic, FDA-approved drinking water hoses are inexpensive and work well. They are typically white in color with a light blue stripe,
which helps to identify the hose and serves as a reminder to keep it separate from other hoses or hardware, especially those used for waste
drainage. You may consider using a special FDA-approved hose as many common garden hoses are made of reground rubber. As clean
water hoses age and compounds break down, you may notice taste and odor-related impurities in your fresh water supply. To help
counteract this process, be sure to screw the two (2) ends of the fresh water hose together following each use. This also prevents dirt or
other matter from entering the hose.
Do NOT fill the potable water tank too quickly as air can be trapped in the tank if you do. Fill the tank slowly, allowing the air inside to escape
through the inlet vent and reducing the possibility of water gushes and/or spray back.
IMPORTANT PLUMBING CONSIDERATIONS AND COMPONENTS
water pressure, pressure regulator and check valve …. The recommended pressure for your plumbing system is <55 psi. Water pressure
frequently varies depending on your location and water pressure exceeding 55 psi can damage your plumbing system. Installed as part of
your Cricket’s fresh water inlet is an integrated water pressure regulator to use when connecting to a city/campground water supply.
WARNING: If water pressure at your site EXCEEEDS 125 psi, you will have exceeded the capacity of your water pressure regulator.
More information about your water pump … your water pump is generally referred to as a “demand” pump, operating when it detects a
pressure drop in the water lines. This is similar to, for example, the pressure being restored after a sink faucet is turned off. If the indicator
light is ON at the kitchen switch panel, the water pump is operational. Many campers only turn the pump on when using the plumbing -
turning it off after usage. The pump vibrates and makes a humming noise when in operation.
