although dealers were skeptical, mat perlot's intention was to build an rv for weekend use and priced for volume sales. there were various technical issues to make the electro-majic bed work; however, through trial and error these were resolved with the 1991 model year which had an electric motor made by somfy that was powerful enough to raise and lower the 250 pound bed. once the dealers started supporting this new concept and market segment, something interesting happened once the trek's started selling. though designed for short term weekend use with its novel bed and small footprint, a surprising number of people started using the trek full-time and for extended time periods. trek ownership continued to grow and soon trek clubs started to form. owners were proud of the quality construction and the fact that they had a 24 or 28 foot model that felt more like a 30 or 35 foot coach. the electro-majic bed had become so popular among consumers that it was also added to safari's kalahari line of motorhomes in 1993.
