CHASE THE WAVES IN CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’
Pack up the family or group of friends and head out in California Dreamin’, a 2018 Hymer Aktiv 2.0. Whether you’re planning a mellow trip to tick destinations off your bucket list or chasing good surf conditions, California Dreamin’ will turn an ordinary camp trip into a glamping vacation.
The Hymer Aktiv 2.0 comes packed with features and amenities galore including some custom upgrades such as a 3-inch lift kit, summo springs, bigger tires, grille guard with LED lights, and a custom rack to carry the fun extras like surf boards, longboards, and paddle boards.
Cook up a seriously delicious meal in the galley kitchen featuring a two burner propane stove. Thoughtfully designed, the kitchen features ample storage overhead and in the cabinet drawers. The sink features hot and cold running water. Keep more than just essentials cool in the built-in refrigerator. There’s also plenty of counter space to give your sous chef some space to chop and prep!
Rinse off after a day of adventures using the interior shower with hot and cold running water. Get some much needed chill time with friends and family by swiveling the front captains chairs and using the rear bench in sofa mode. Keep the party going by keeping devices charged using the outlets.
Want a front porch for your camper van home? Just open the awning! Want to create an extra room for sharing meals or lounging? Just open the awning! Want shade from the summer sun? We could go awn and awn … because California Dreamin’ comes equipped with an awning, so whatever it is you want, you’ll be covered.
After a day of play, tuck yourself into a cozy bed. California Dreamin’ features two full-size beds great for sleeping four adults. Get lost in a good book with the LED lighting and stay cozy through the night using the built-in heater. Camping in warm weather? Pop open the rear doors and take in the stars on the big screen or use the air conditioning when hooked up to shore power.
Bringing larger items? Make use of the custom sliding storage space underneath the bed.
Wherever your destination, California Dreamin’ is ready to make your camping trip into a glampcation.
Beep beep! Where to?
Going into freezing temperatures? Please note: To prevent the water systems from freezing, the water in the main tank will be a combination of water and food grade, nontoxic antifreeze. That means you’ll be able to use the toilet, but it is not great for drinking or taking showers.
