Tim, Mike, & Lisa,

We have a '62 Safari that had an air pump to pressurize the water tank.
When it stopped we simply got one of those cheap air compressors that you
can plug into your lighter in the car and hot wired it to a 12V switch. It
sure comes in handy when you are in the middle of noplace and need water.
We recently moved it to the back so that it would be quieter. Not one of
their strong suits.

Pete
