There aren’ t many campers on the Australian market quite like the Opus OP4. Nor would there be many( or any!) that could be setup as quickly, especially if the setup involves an annexe.

The Opus OP4 literally inflates. That’ s right. An onboard aircompressor removes all of the hard work from setting it up. Gone are the days of mucking around with tent poles, swearing as you realise you’ ve grabbed the wrong pole and now need to find the correct one. Push a button, grab a beer and take a seat. The camper will do the rest.

You’ ve probably seen this rig before, whether on social media or at a caravan show. Watching it set itself up is certainly an attention-grabber. But how does it work? And as importantly, what if there is a puncture?

BEAM ME UP

This camper was originally released in Australia nearly 15 years ago as a much more rudimentary beast. While the essential shape was the same, it did involve tent poles to achieve the dome shape of the roof. However, there was room for improvement.
