Framed in aluminium, with aluminium cladding and special‘ honeycomb’ floor and roof sections, no timber is used in the essential structure of the van.
It weighed in at 2475kg Tare, with an ATM of 3000kg, making the OPUS Expedition Max a suitable proposition for many mid-sized 4WDs – though you’ d want to keep an eye on the ball weight in such a scenario since it’ s 260kg unladen.
SUMMING UP
It’ s great to see OPUS continuing to expand its range and build on the success of the OP camper. The Expedition Max certainly presents as a neat and tidy unit and from a pricing perspective, it absolutely hits the mark. A fully featured caravan that also looks the part for about $ 70K? In today’ s market, that’ s pretty good.
It uses good-quality components, such as the Renogy equipment, and the 12V system is fairly generous. Vans such as this intrigue me. It’ s small – which I see as a benefit – but that doesn’ t mean it’ s missing anything. The only question is, do you prefer it in hardtop or pop-top configuration?
