Looks like there’s a new RV on the market. It’s a small luxury camper van, that maybe tends a bit towards the luxury motorhome end of the spectrum, but in a compact package. It’s the Aktiv by Hymer.
“More ergonomic features and functionality than you’ve ever experienced in a recreational van, combined with a premium design and feel, the Aktiv by HYMER is everything you never thought possible.
“German design engineers gave the Aktiv its unrivaled space layout to make your trip easier and more enjoyable to get away. When you experience the extra touches like premium materials, unequaled fit and finish, and the highest quality componentry – like soft-close drawers – you’ll discover just how extraordinary the Aktiv really is.”
And they have at least 2 interesting features a lot of RVers and camper van -ers out there might not have even heard of: the EcoTrek and the VoltStart:
“Hymer has revolutionized the boondocking experience with the introduction of EcoTrek, a lithium power module that takes the worry out of battery management and lets you enjoy the RVing lifestyle to the fullest. The EcoTrek system can be used in harsh weather conditions because the proprietary climate system ensures your module will charge and discharge in any weather conditions, from the hot summer sun to the cold winter nights. Available in a 400 module, the EcoTrek system can take you completely off the grid for the freedom to go anywhere.
“Erwin Hymer Group North America’s proprietary auto start charging management system is a combination remote and auto starter for your Hymer. The VoltStart system will automatically start your engine to recharge your batteries when they get down to a certain threshold; making the VoltStart system is a safe, keyless operation, giving you the freedom to leave your coach, without having to leave the key in the ignition. A remote FOB carried with you can remote start the unit for pre-cooling or pre-heating your coach.”
Here’s a gallery of what these new RV camper vans look like, and here’s the Go Hymer website.
