OPUS OP4

Thus, the Opus Air was born about nine years ago. Instead of tent poles to provide the shape and support for the camper’ s tent section, Opus developed‘ air beams’ to replace the tent poles – when inflated to 7psi via the onboard air-compressor, these air beams become rigid and the tent section self-erects.

Setting up the camper shouldn’ t take more than 10 minutes, though you’ d probably get it down to five after doing it a few times. There’ s a locker on the nearside containing isolation switches for all of the 12V functions of the camper, including the aircompressor. Simply hit that switch when the camper is opened up and within minutes, the tent section will be up.

Our review OP4 was the upspecced TLX version, meaning it came with all the gear you can see in the pics and video, except for the portable fridge on the slideout tray. This includes the annexe. If you like the OP4 but need a budget version, the ST variation is the one for you, but it doesn’ t include the annexe. That said, there’ s no reason you couldn’ t purchase the annexe later on. It simply zips onto the main tent section, and inflates in exactly the same way, using the same onboard air-compressor.
