Information, Cautions and Warnings
LEVEL
ITEM
COMMENT
Seat Belts
Use only forward facing seats equipped with factory installed seat belts while the vehicle is in motion. All passengers must
be seated in these seats only, with the seat belts fastened while the vehicle is in motion.
TV
Turn the TV off and stow it while the vehicle is in motion.
TV
The flat screen TV should not be stored inside the Roadtrek in cold temperatures. Remove it to reduce the chance of
damage from the cold. Check the Owner's Manual for the TV for storage and operating temperatures.
TV
To remove the TV, release the bracket on the back of the TV mounting bracket and remove the RCA cables, power supply
cable and antenna cable.
Propane
Do not store propane tanks inside your vehicle. Propane tanks are equipped with safety devices which relieve excessive
pressure by discharging gas to the atmosphere.
Propane
Do not refuel the propane tank to more than 80% of its capacity.
Propane
The propane tank valve must be closed and all pilot lights, appliances and their igniters must be turned off during refueling of
the motor fuel tank and/or the propane fuel tank. Only qualified personnel should refuel your propane tank.
Propane
Purchase propane from a reputable propane facility. Contaminated propane is a common cause of system failure and is not
covered under any warranty.
Propane
The BBQ quick disconnect is regulated to 10 P.S.I. Please ensure that all devices connected to this are either rated for high
"pressure" or have their own regulator. Many grills sold in the United States are "low pressure" (1/2 P.S.I.) and will require
an additional regulator to step the pressure down to a useable level. If hooked directly to the BBQ quick disconnect they
will be a severe fire hazard.

Electrical Servicing
This unit has a 12VDC, 110VAC and potentially 36 volt solar system. These systems need to be disconnected before
working on them.
Before You Head Out
Your new Roadtrek 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 Roadtrek 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 Roadtrek.
Plug in overnight to fully charge batteries.
Turn off and clean out the refrigerator and prop the door open to let it air out.
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 Roadtrek 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
Your Roadtrek is equipped with cabinet latches which
prevent the door from opening while the vehicle is in
motion. The pushbuttons on the cabinet latches toggle
from latched (button in) to openable (button out) by
pressing the button.
To open a cabinet, press the button to pop the latch,
pull gently on the latch, and the cabinet door will open.
To close a cabinet, make sure the latch is still open
(button out), then close the door. Once the cabinet
door is closed, press the latch button in to lock the
cabinet.
Do not attempt to close the cabinet doors while the latch button is pressed in. This will break the latch. Always make sure the button is out before
attempting to close a cabinet door.
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.

13

If you load a large amount of weight into a cabinet, experience large swings in temperature or humidity, ride on bumpy roads at high speeds frequently, or
sometimes as part of normal wear and tear, the cabinet hinges may go out of adjustment. You will know the cabinet is out of adjustment when it will not open
with the button out, or not latch with the button in.
To open a cabinet stuck shut with the button out, apply pressure UPWARD with your thumbs on both bottom corners of the cabinet door while simultaneously
applying gentle pressure to open it, as shown above left.
DO NOT FORCE THE DOOR OPEN BY PULLING OR PRYING ON IT - you will break the latch.
The screw in the top part of the hinge nearest the pivot point adjusts the vertical location of the door. Screw out to raise the door and fix stuck doors; screw in
to lower the door and fix doors that won't stay shut when latched, as shown above left.
Apply moderate upward pressure and GENTLE
outward pressure with both thumbs on the
bottom corners of the door to open a stuck
cabinet
Turn screw clockwise to lower cabinet face
(if it won’t latch), counterclockwise to raise
it up (if it won’t open)

Galley Drawers
Beneath the galley countertop there are drawers to the left and right of the food preparation
surface. The center panel is fixed, and is not a drawer.
All these drawers have conventional non-locking knobs, and a friction closure mechanism to
secure them while the Roadtrek is in motion. Make sure they are completely closed before
driving.

15

Lights
Your Roadtrek is equipped with interior LED lighting designed to give you control based on your
requirements. There are three lights down the length of the aisle, and one more over the galley. Before
attempting to turn on any interior lights, you MUST ensure the battery disconnect switch is turned on. The
battery disconnect switch can be located on the bottom left corner of the control panel, which is above the
vehicle's sliding door.
To use the tap lights, press the fixture lens.
Tables
Your Roadtrek is equipped with two tables for your use, one for the front and one for the rear of the vehicle
Rear Table
The rear table is stored under the bench seat on the driver’s side. The table leg is stored behind the driver's seat.
To install the table, place the leg into the existing floor socket. Rotate the leg to ensure it is securely in place and then place the table top on top of the table leg.
Make sure the table leg is seated firmly in the table top socket.

Front Table
Pull the table out from its drawer-like storage in the galley cabinet. Flip the support bracket out from behind the driver's seat. Fold the table top leaf over so it
rests on the support bracket.
Captain’s Seats
To move the front seats to their desired fore and aft position, pull up on the bar located under the front of the seat. Release the bar to lock the seat in place.
To swivel the front seats, locate the swivel lever on the back of the seat and move it sideways against its spring to release the lock and
swivel the chair.
Always return the seats to the forward facing position when the vehicle is in motion - the seats will lock in place as you swivel them to face forward.
There are three adjustments on the outboard side of each front seat: the knob in front raises and lowers the front of the seat, the lever where the back and
base of the seat join raises and lowers the back of the seat, and the knob above that on the seat back reclines the seat back. The lumbar support adjustment is
on the inboard side of the seat. For the full range of adjustments on the front seats, please refer to the Mercedes Sprinter manual.
To create a front lounge area, first bring the backs of the seats to their upright position. Do not attempt to pivot a reclined seat. Use the fore-and-aft adjustment
while pivoting the seats to allow the sides of the chairs to clear the armrests on the vehicle doors and other obstructions. Do not force the seats around.
Swiveling the seats is easier if you open the doors and loosen the tilt steering wheel adjustment and move the steering wheel as far forward and up as possible.

Blinds
The blinds are equipped with two layers depending on your preference and need, the first layer is used for shading the inside of the vehicle and the second layer
is used for privacy.
To use the blinds, gently pull from the center of the blind in a downward motion, this will bring the first “shade” level down to cover the window. To bring the
“privacy” level down, simply pull the bar located at the top of the blind down to your desired position.
The blind located above the galley area is a metal blind which can be closed for total privacy.

Ventilation
Your Roadtrek is equipped with a ceiling mounted ventilation fan.
The fan has a cover that must be raised by turning the large knurled knob. Raise the cover, then
use the remote to the desired speed and temperature.
There is also a fuse in the body of the fan, in addition to the fuse in the distribution panel. Check
both fuses if your fan stops working. Check both this fuse and the one on the 12 volt fuse panel
if your fan stops working.
The fan cover may rattle if your drive with it open

Sleeping Facilities
Your Roadtrek has sleeping capacity for two people on the rear bed.
Sofa Bed
You can configure the rear bed as a King or Twin bed depending on your preference or requirements. You begin by lowering the sofa.
To lower the sofa please follow these steps:
•Remove any heavy or bulky objects from the sofa
•Clear the space in front of the sofa.
•Check underneath the sofa for objects that may be caught in the sofa as it moves.
•Push the center seatbelts back through the sofa, between the seat and the back cushions, so the seat belts end up underneath the sofa.
•Locate the power sofa switch under the television on the passenger side rear cabinet face.
