Cable TV
To connect your Aktiv to cable tv at a campsite or even in your driveway, first locate the Aktiv's cable tv connection inside the rearmost driver's side
compartment, behind the rear wheel. It has a square gray plastic cover about 3 cm on each side which is hinged at the top, and opens to expose the barrel
connector the cable hooks to.
You need a length of coaxial tv cable to reach from the cable tv outlet to your Aktiv's connection point. These are sold in electronic supply and camping supply
stores and come in lengths of 25, 50, and 100 feet. The cable is typically sold as RG-59U or RG-6 with F-type connectors. The RG-6 is preferable but either will
work.
Screw the cable onto the barrel connectors at each end. If you route it through the mousehole in the bottom right side of the compartment floor, you can close
the compartment door without crimping the wire.
Push the bottom button on the A-B switch in the cabinet above the tv. The bottom button connects your tv to the cable connection, and the top button
connects it to the over-the-air signals from your rooftop antenna.
HOWTO: Propane System
Your vehicle is equipped with a propane system which, when properly handled and maintained, will provide trouble and worry free operation of your propane
fueled appliances.
About Propane
Propane fuel is colourless, heavier than air and smells like garlic or rotten eggs. The odor is added by the distributor so propane may smell differently as you
travel and purchase propane from various distributors. Being heavier than air it will collect in low spots and along the floor of your vehicle.
If you smell propane or your propane detector sounds, immediately get all occupants out of the vehicle through the side door. Leave door open. Once outside
turn the manual shutoff valve off. Propane is heavier than air and will flow out of the side door outside. Opening windows will not help dissipate propane.
Wait for the propane to dissipate. Once the smell is gone, take the vehicle to a qualified repair facility to find and fix the problem before using the propane
system again. If closing the manual shutoff valve does not stop the propane leak and you still smell propane, do not attempt to start, drive, occupy or otherwise
use the vehicle in the presence of a propane smell.
Smelling Propane Outside the Vehicle
If you smell propane outside the vehicle, especially after filling, it is quite likely that the attendant did not close the bleeder valve fully. The bleeder valve is a small
brass knob used to vent gas to provide room for the liquid while filling. Check to make sure this valve is closed tightly.
