RV FEATURE
Let’ s talk bathrooms. Being a camper that packs down easily into quite a compact trailer, it shouldn’ 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.
The roof rack contains T-channels and Opus provides the special nuts / tie-down points to suit, allowing you to position your tiedown points wherever it’ s most convenient. The system means the roof rack can be used as a platform for most roof rack accessories from other suppliers. The A-frame-mounted storage box also features tie-down points. Combined with a slide-out offside tray, there’ s a reasonable amount of external storage space on offer.
However, one thing to be aware of is the hot water situation. Like many camper trailers, the OP4 requires you to use a portable gas hot water service, which Opus can provide as an option or you can just as easily source your own. That said, the OP4 has been equipped with a support arm for a portable hot water unit that swings out from the rear spare wheel assembly, with a gas bayonet nearby allowing you to plumb it to the camper’ s onboard gas supply.
The OP4 is built atop an RHS galvanised chassis with independent trailing arm coil suspension with shock absorbers. Underneath, Opus has included 140L worth of fresh water storage capacity, while on the A-frame there are a couple of holders to suit two 20L jerry cans. Were you to use them for water, the camper could offer 180L of onboard water storage.
