RV FEATURE
The air bladder within each air beam is protected by an outer and inner sleeve. Opus also provides a puncture repair kit, allowing you to do your own repairs if you find yourself in a spot of difficulty. However, you can also purchase new bladders and fit them yourself. Further, the valving system allows you to isolate each air beam from the other, so if you can’ t repair a puncture, you can still use the camper and annexe until you’ re in a position to get it fixed.
Stepping inside, you’ ll find an interior with a lot of wow-factor. The high ceilings, the large windows, the stylish club-style lounge … it looks fantastic, especially with the side walls unzipped and the annexe in position.
However, the interior is really just a place to sleep and perhaps eat and relax – there’ s no kitchen or bathroom. The 12V gear is positioned beneath the shelf forward of the front bed. In this compartment, you’ ll find a 2000W Renogy inverter, a 40A DC-DC charger and a 50A mains charger, while a hatch has been fitted to the floor for access to the chassismounted battery box( a 200Ah Renogy lithium battery is provided as standard), as is a Renogy One Core power management system.
It should’ t surprise anyone that there’ s no permanent bathroom setup. However, you can purchase a separate ensuite tent to mount to the roof rack. When the rack is in its open vertical position, it’ s just a case of unzipping and pegging it out. Further, there’ s an external shower strategically located nearby, and Opus also provides a portable toilet.
It has also been equipped with a support arm for a portable hot water unit. This arm swings out from the rear spare wheel assembly. A gas bayonet nearby allows you to plumb it to the camper’ s onboard gas supply.
It is a well-sorted camper and Opus has thought of a solution for everything. While some solutions are portable in nature, that’ s not always a bad thing!
