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. -
Page 17: Window Treatments
Window Treatments The nightshade curtain blocks airflow. If you leave the window open, then close the nightshade, close all other windows, and then close the side door, it is possible for the curtain to get blown out of the track. Always close the window prior to closing the nightshade. -
Page 18: Ventilation
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.

Page 24: Appliances
Appliances TV and Home Theatre System The TV and DVD player are located in the rear lounge area on the passenger side. Both the television and the DVD player use 120 volt current, so the inverter, generator, or shore power must be on and available for them to work. -
Page 25: Oven
Oven The oven is a standard microwave oven. It operates much the same as the microwave at your house. It is probably lower powered, so cooking may take a bit longer. The microwave will operate from the batteries through the inverter for reheating purposes or other brief use. However, for extended microwave use, you must be connected to shore power or have the optional generator running. -
Page 26: Hot Water
Hot Water Your Roadtrek is equipped with a propane fired tankless water heater. The heater has no tank and operates on demand. At low flows water may be hot, while at high flows water may be cooler. This is normal. When you turn on the water heater you will not hear it fire up. It only ignites when it senses a water demand. -
Page 27: Outside Your Roadtrek
Awning Your Roadtrek has a roll up awning. The awning is extended with a power switch located on the control panel. The awning has two support struts that must be used to support the awning. These are secured to the two attachment points on the side of the Roadtrek. Refer to the awning manual for the proper way of securing the awning supports to the attachments. -
Page 28: Exterior Shower
Side Door Step Your Roadtrek is equipped with a step that automatically extends when the side door is opened for easy entry and exit out of your vehicle. With the step switch on, the step will extend once when the door is open and remain extended even if the door is closed. With the switch off, the step will extend and retract every time the door is opened and closed. -
Page 29: Optional Rear Door Screen
Roadtrek’s have an optional rear screen which allows you to open the rear doors and get fresh air and a better view, without bugs coming in or (attended) pets going out. If you ordered this option, look for this screen in the white box that comes with your new Roadtrek. The screen attaches to the rear door frame and cargo area floor with a zipper and hook-and-loop fasteners. -

Page 31: Utilities
Utilities Just like your house, your Roadtrek has fresh water, electricity, waste water disposal, heating, and cooling systems. In the Roadtrek, these systems are self- contained and travel with you. Your vehicle should be reasonably level to allow normal operation of the system. -
Page 32: Water Pump
Water Pump To use the water in the tank, you need to turn on the water pump. See photo above for switch location. Waste Water Gray Tank Galley sink, bathroom sink and shower drain water drains into the gray water tank. The shower and sink have traps to prevent tank odors from entering the living space. -
Page 33: Heating And Cooling
If your Roadtrek is parked on an incline, it is possible for condensate to leak into the living space. If this happens park in a more level location. Propane Furnace The furnace is controlled by the combination thermostat located above the rear bed. The furnace requires propane and 12 volt power. The furnace can be used without shore power or generator use. -
Page 34: Electrical System
Electrical System Coach Batteries The coach batteries in your Roadtrek are sealed AGM batteries. Do not attempt to open them. There is not maintenance possible on these batteries. Battery Disconnect Switch The battery disconnect switch provides power to all 12 volt appliances, such as the water pump, the refrigerator, and so forth. -
Page 35: Optional Solar Panels
The standard configuration includes a 2000 watt inverter. This inverter provides 120 volt AC (household current) for a few of the outlets in your Roadtrek; primarily the ones running the TV and the DVD player. It will run the microwave and the air conditioner. -
Page 36: Outlets
Outlets The outlets are operated from the inverter, generator, or shore power. Further, the outlets are protected by GFCI. Several outlets have ground fault circuitry (GFCI) - the button in the middle of the outlet pops out when they sense an anomaly or sometimes when the circuit undergoes transitional conditions. -
Page 37: Monitor Panel

It should be on only when you have water in the fresh water tanks and wish to use the sinks, showers, or toilet. -
Page 41: Distribution Panel
AC Breaker Flip the cover to the right and note the sticker under the cover with the identifying information on each breaker. When storing the Roadtrek for the winter, turn off the battery disconnect switch, the inverter, and all circuit breakers in this panel. -
Page 42: Alarms And Warnings
Fire Extinguisher Your Roadtrek comes equipped with a dry chemical fire extinguisher suitable for all fires. Before every trip, check to see that the needle on the dial is in the green range. If not, replace the fire extinguisher. DO NOT test your fire extinguisher by discharging it - total discharge time is 8 to 12 seconds, so it will become rapidly depleted if you test it this way. -
Page 43: Maintenance
Maintenance Tires See the automotive chassis manufacturer's owner's manual and documents for tire warranty information. Inflation pressure information is on the sticker inside the galley cabinet door. The current RAM ProMaster® manual recommends checking tire pressures regularly, at least every other week and before a long trip. Tire rotation intervals depend on wear and other factors but tires should be rotated at least every maintenance interval, defined as every 40,000 km/24,000 miles. -
Page 44: When You Stop For Fuel Or Weekly
When You Stop for Fuel or Weekly Check engine oil level. Look for low or underinflated tires. Every Other Week Check tire pressure on all tires and your spare. At Least Monthly Check coolant level in the coolant recovery reservoir. ... -

Roadtrek. To prevent water from entering your vehicle, avoid spraying water directly into exterior vents or grills. Do not use a power washer to clean your Roadtrek because damage to the paint, removal of decals and water leaks will result. Hand washing or commercial car washes accommodating large vehicles are the best way to keep your Roadtrek clean and shiny. -
Page 46: Spare Tire Storage
The ProMaster® uses a spring-loaded positive locking mechanism to hold the spare tire in place. This can be quite difficult to engage on the side of the road. Roadtrek recommends that you have roadside service or that you place the flat inside the vehicle and stop at a nearby tire shop as soon as practical. -
Page 47: Obtaining Service
When your Roadtrek needs service, determine if the issue is with the Roadtrek upfits or the RAM ProMaster® chassis. For Roadtrek upfits, contact your dealer. Start with the service writer, then the service manager and finally, if you are unable to resolve your issues with the service department, contact the dealership managing partner or owner. -

Regulatory Notices If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Erwin Hymer Group NA. If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it may order a recall and remedy campaign.
