Each class of RV seems to have its own sets of fans. If you’re a Class B RVer, you’re likely drawn to the size and maneuverability of Class B RVs (aka”campervans”). You probably love being able to park everywhere and take off and go when you want. The upscale Winnebago Travato or the Mercedes Sprinter, with its opportunities for build-outs, are brands that often come to mind. But there’s a new player in the space, and it’s making big waves, especially with design-oriented lovers of Class B’s: The Hymer Aktiv.
Why People Love the Hymer Aktiv
So what makes the Hymer Aktiv so popular? See yourself in the video from Go Hymer.
No convinced? Here’s more to love.
Sleek, Modern, and Rugged
The Hymer Aktiv has a sleek and modern feel, as well as ingenious space-saving design features. This stylish, yet practical combo has led to Facebook groups dedicated to the cult of Hymer Aktiv camping.
Euro-Designed, American-Made
The Activ boasts an absolutely beautiful design. From the driver’s seat to the rear sleeping area, the space has a European space-saving design aesthetic.
Though it was designed in Europe, the Hymer Aktiv is manufactured in the United States. It’s the perfect combo for people who prefer to buy American-made products.
Small, Yet Spacious
Being a Class-B, the Aktiv is a very small motorhome. This RV is not much bigger than a typical van. Nevertheless, its designers have used a variety of space-saving solutions and managed to fit in everything a person could need, along with a few luxuries. Many features stow away easily or serve more than one purpose. For example, the stove is flush with the countertop and the sink has a topper to create even more counter space, giving you plenty of room for food prep. This is wonderful for creating a relaxing place to come home, eat, and rest after a long day of adventure.
Innovative Battery System
It can be difficult to find a campground in the wilderness that offers any sort of electric hookup. For those who like to go off the grid, the RV’s EcoTrek battery system is definitely something to love. It includes lithium ion batteries and makes boondocking easier to do for longer periods of time. This allows you to enjoy the all the comforts of RVing no matter where you are.
Additionally, the Volt Start system will ensure your vehicle engine automatically starts up and begins charging those batteries should they ever get too low. This means you will never be left with a dead battery to deal with.
Child Safety
RVing is a great family activity. However, if you have a small child, you are probably concerned for their safety while riding in an RV. Fortunately, the Hymer Aktiv has taken this into consideration as well. The second-row passenger seat in this RV offers latch-system car seat anchors so you can be sure your little one is as safe as possible while in transit.

Ease of Use
Smaller RVs are going to be much easier to use than one of its larger counterparts. You can take them down roads and terrain that big rigs simply can’t handle, and you can park just about anywhere without worrying if you’re going to fit. Many find that smaller vans are also easier to drive and handle on the road. This is especially true for the Aktiv, which is equipped with an incredible stability program, making it easier than ever to camp wherever you see fit.
