Before You Head Out
Your new Aktiv is ready to go with just a little bit of preparation. To prepare for your first trip, you should:
Read this manual.
Contact your dealer with any questions.
Plan your trip.
Then use this quick checklist:
The day before your trip:
oCharge your batteries by plugging in overnight.
oCool your refrigerator by turning it on.
oChill any beverages in your home refrigerator.
oFill your fresh water tank with clean tap water.
The day of the trip:
oLoad the refrigerator with cold food (from your home refrigerator).
Coming Home
When you come home, there are a few maintenance tasks you should do to get your Aktiv ready to go for next time. Refer to other sections in this manual for
the procedures listed here.
On your way home, dump the gray tank and toilet cassette at a convenient facility. See the HOWTO: Waste Water Dumping section for a concise
description of the procedure to do this. Some RV parks and gas stations will let you dump for a fee, some city wastewater plants will let you dump for
free but there is no real pattern, so local knowledge is vital in locating dump stations. The website http://www.sanidumps.com is a good resource. The
maps for each state and province are
Especially helpful: http://www.sanidumps.com/maps/help.php
At home, flush the water tank and fill it with fresh chlorinated water if you will be using it in the next few days. Otherwise, drain the tank. Don't let
water you are planning to use sit in your tank for more than a week or so, and don't let any water sit in your tank for more than two weeks, whether
you plan on using it or not. Over time, the chlorine goes away and the microbes come out to play.
To flush the tank, fill it using the fill port in the driver's side rear panel and open the fresh water tank drain under the tank at the rear of the Aktiv.
Plug in overnight to fully charge batteries.
Turn off and clean out the refrigerator and prop the door open to let it air out.

14
© Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc
Turn off two important switches on your monitor panel to keep from draining your batteries:
oThe battery disconnect switch.
oThe inverter switch.
If you turn everything off and you have solar panels, the panels will keep your coach batteries topped up while your Aktiv is parked. If you don't have
solar panels, it would be prudent to check your coach battery state of charge every month or so and charge them if necessary. If you don't turn
everything off, even with solar panels, you will probably come back to dead batteries.
Interior Living Space
Cabinets and Drawers
The cabinet latches in your Aktiv are different from the ones in your home and more like those on boats as they
must stay closed when the vehicle is in motion. The cabinet doors have buttons to unlock and open them and
then lock them once closed. Press the button in and it will pop out further to unlock, then open and close the
cabinet and press the button back in to lock.
The buttons on the drawers work the same way to lock and unlock. Simply slide open when unlocked and slide
inwards to close.
Immediately beneath the galley countertop there is a drawer to hold silverware
and small cooking utensils. The right panel directly next to it and above to
refrigerator is not a drawer and is for maintenance access only. The two
drawers below the silverware drawer provide storage space for food and larger cooking utensils. There are movable dividers
to optimize the organization or the compartments. There are additional cabinets above the galley for food and other storage.
It is not recommended to keep large, round, and/or heavy objects in a cabinet unsecured as they may roll around and apply
excessive pressure to the inside of the cabinet doors as you drive. The objects may shift position with vehicle motion and cause
injury when the cabinets are opened. For this reason, Ewin Hymer Group NA recommends that you are aware of the objects
that you store in overhead cabinets.
Directly across from the galley (behind) there is a shelf with a slide up door. This is a great place to store spices and other
food items.

© Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc.
Lights
All cabin lights use 12VDC and are powered by the coach batteries, so the battery disconnect switch must be on for any of these lights to work.
The main cabin lights turn on and off with their switches at one end of the galley, accessible right by the passenger sliding door. This includes the light for the
bathroom. From the left, the first switch controls the two ceiling lights. The second switch controls the ceiling lights in the rear. There is an outlet plug then
two more light switches. The first switch (on the second set, the right of the plug and first set) controls the podium floor lights close to the floor at the front of
the coach, just inside the sliding door. The final switch controls the light to the bathroom.

There are additional lights in the cabin controlled by their own individual switches (there is a switch on each side of the light). These lights are located directly
over the galley, one over the back-passenger seats by the window and finally one over each window (two total) over the bed in the rear of the cabin.
Table
The rear tabletop is stored in front of the back-passenger seating. It is folded in position behind the driver’s captain seat and should remain secured while the
vehicle is in motion, using the snap-on strap which is attached to the table.
Before using the table and outing into place, be sure the front captain driver’s seat is pushed forward or the table cannot fold out and be fully extended or used
properly. To use the table, release the snap-on strap first, lift the table top and the leg underneath will snap into place. There is a short snap strap on the right
side (closest to the driver’s captain seat) and extend the rest of the table top.

© Erwin Hymer Group North America, Inc.
Front Captain’s Seats
The seats must be set as far forward as possible prior to swiveling, otherwise the plastic trim will be damaged.
The two captain's seats in the front of your Aktiv are adjustable fore and aft by pulling up on the bar under the front of the
seat and will swivel when the swivel tab (the black plastic lever on the side of the chair base) is pulled up. Always return the
seats to the forward-facing position when driving. They will lock into this position and stay locked until the swivel tab is raised
again.
To create a front lounge area, loosen the recline adjustment and move the backs of the seats to a vertical position. Do not
attempt to pivot a reclined seat. Use the fore-and-aft adjustment while swiveling the seats to allow the sides of the chairs to
clear the armrests on the vehicle doors, the engine cover, and other obstructions. Do not force the seats around. Swiveling
the driver's seat may require you to loosen the tilt steering wheel adjustment and move the steering wheel as far forward and
up as possible. Opening the front doors slightly will facilitate clearance of the door armrests.
Second Row Seating
There are two rear passenger seats. You can access them by the passenger sliding door. They are directly in front of the
bathroom and behind the driver’s seat. The cushion on them does lift and underneath them there are two removable
wood panels that give access to the water heater.

Ventilation
Your Aktiv is equipped with a ceiling mounted ventilation fan. The fan has a cover that raises by turning the knob. As you turn the knob, the fan will
automatically begin working.
There is also a fuse in the body of the fan, in
addition to the fuse in the distribution panel.
Check both this fuse and the one on the
12VDC fuse panel, if your fan stops working. If
you remove the fuse in the shower, the fan will
not operate. Remove fuse in case of
emergency or defect in the operation of the fan.
For more details, please refer to the fan
owner’s manual, especially for instructions on
operating the fan with a remote.
When the RV is unattended or the fan is not monitored, do not leave it on or objects or the curtain may be sucked in.
Window Treatments
The skylight window in your Aktiv can be covered using the pull shade, included below the skylight. On the other side, there is a pull screen. To open the
skylight, pull the crank handle down and turn. This is also a source of mild ventilation, without a fan.

19

Many of the side windows have similar shades. Pull the shade down and to lock it, it latches quite easily to the bottom runner/track. These are located on the
windows at the sides of the vehicle and on the back.
Never attempt to attach any sort of fastener or track above the front doors. The airbag could
deploy causing severe injury.

Sleeping Facilities
Your Aktiv has a bed at the rear of the
vehicle. While the vehicle is in motion, the
bed needs to be latched in place using the
barrier.
To use the bed, you must press the latch
and bring down the bed frame. To put the
bed up, lift the bed frame and secure it in
place with the latch. In the sleeping
quarters at the rear of the cabin, there is a
privacy curtain. This can be pulled to help
block light or for privacy purposes.
There is additional storage in the rear, above and below the bed. The cabinets operate in the same way as the cabinets in the galley.
