It has everything you need that kitchen!! Archie does struggle a bit up those stairs, so we are testing a few options to help him get in and out easier!
Hey guys, thanks for sharing the walkthrough of the Opus! Wow, what a fantastic camper with heaps of space and capabilities. Getting to those tight off road tracks/camps won’t be a problem. It's the perfect companion for those adventurous journeys, and I can't wait to see all the amazing places you'll explore with it. Is Cape York a maybe for next season? It’d be perfect for that terrain 🚙🏞️
Yes we can’t wait to test it on different terrains 👍🏻 Would love to do Cape York at some point, but need to save up a bit of annual leave first! We do have a road trip to Adelaide planned over New Year, plus some shorter trips in the meantime
Great run through guys! Could you please further explain the king bed extension. How do you assemble, which way do you lay? Does one or both people lay across a crack?
How long does it take to have the camper fully set up the way you are showing it from the time you arrive at your camping spot? How long does it take for you to packup ready to drive away? I camp with tents and a coleman event14 at the moment. Am looking for a easier solution, especially for bad weather as I mainly camp in the cooler months. Your feedback would be much appreciated.
Great video, thank you for sharing! I love that color green, where did you purchase it??? I live in the US and I have not seen that color available at any of our dealers
Hey there! We bought ours in Melbourne Australia as it’s a colour option here. Maybe ask Opus US if you can get it over there? I love the colour too - really appropriate colour for camping out in nature!!
Any issues getting water in the trailer when you have it closed or open? My only hesitation to get one are the videos of people complaint about water intrusion and to be honest that might be my only flaw because I don’t want to deal with tent mold smell and delamination.
Yes, I’ve seen those videos too. We haven’t had any water issues at all, either open or closed, so I’m wondering if they had older models and the issue has been fixed now? We are always careful in set up and put away and make sure that there are no obvious gaps in any of the seals. We have been out in the rain a few times now with no issues. We do park the Opus in the garage at home to minimise everyday wear and tear. Hope that helps! Hannah and Chris ☺️
Nice overview, glad you're enjoying the new rig. 🙂 I've got a couple of questions, 1. How long does setup with the annex take? And do you have to help it along? I think you had said it folds up inside the trailer, which was my other question, so thanks for clearing that up. 2. A patriot X1 is my other option, did you look at that one before you decided, and if so, what nudged you to this one?
Hey thanks for watching! The annex isn’t difficult to set up at all. It attaches to the main tent with a big zip and Velcro, so the first time you use it, you just zip it on and feed the air hose through a little hole and screw it on. As the air goes in, we just straighten it out a bit, but it would probably pop into shape without our help. Yes we did look at the Patriot campers and they looked great quality, super smart and very off road capable, but this suited our needs more, for a few reasons. Firstly we wanted something that would feel spacious inside, so we could comfortably spend time inside on a grey day, or cold evening. We also took Archie into consideration and we needed something that was accessible for him too. We just loved how much it opens up and feels like a really good space (plus the enjoyment every time we inflate it haha!) Price was also a factor, with the Opus significantly cheaper! Hope that helps, Hannah and Chris
We added it on to the initial purchase from Opus. We liked the way the tank was attached on the front (and it was easier to get it fitted by Opus!) and also means the digital panel was neatly fitted near the entrance too
Nope not at all, it inflates itself at a touch of a button, see our EP64 which is how we setup, no crank at all!! I believe they are available in Canada… definitely available in the US!
It is pretty good temperature wise. Obviously it is more impacted than a hard-sided camper, but isn’t too bad. We installed the diesel heater as it does get a bit chilly on a cold winter’s night, but you only need it on for an hour max and it’s fine. We didn’t go with the air con but just have a portable ceiling fan and a portable evaporative cooler to take the edge off.
Great review! We love our OP4. I'm the guy who 3D prints the pantry handle. I'm glad you like it!
Hi Shaun the pantry handle guy!! 😂 Yes - you’re doing a great job with the added extras. Was it you we got the sink drain adapter from too?
@@StaycationOz Yep the sink drain adapter was from me.
Love your work!!! 👌
Good to see you are getting the hang of setup and pack-down. The inside space is amazing. Enjoy your travels
Thanks Andrew. Yes, we’re really happy with it!
Hey guys,thanks so much for showing us the new camper.
It looks great, no wonder you're so happy with it 😊
Look forward to your next adventure! ❤
Thanks so much! 😊
love it! that's a beast of an outside kitchen. I reckon archie just needs a run up for those steps!!

Thank you great info we are in our 60s and I feel confident that this will work for us xx
So glad to hear this was useful for you! It’s a breeze to setup.. pack down can be a little tricky at first, but it gets easier!!
Great review. I've wanted one of these for years now.
Thanks Fliping - hopefully you can get one soon then! 👍🏻

How do you assemble, which way do you lay? Does one or both people lay across a crack?
The space is massive!
So has there been arguments over who has the king bed? 😂😂😂
Enjoy yr new toy 😊
Hahaha - I’ve let Chris have the King Bed as he has longer legs! Plus I’m nearer the door for any overnight trips to the loo!! 😂
Great set up. I think you have more space now than in your caravan.
I think so too!
I have Rv trailer I think to big honestly looks really cool I would worry about the change in temperature the

Thanks! We've been doing crazy amounts of research on campers, so this is helpful to figuring out what we need for whqt we want to do.
Can the floor of the annex be zipped closed to keep critters out?
The floors can Velcro to the sides which helps to keep out critters! 👌
Congratulations on your new camper!
Just wonder if you fitted the diesel heater by your own or by OPUS? It looks neat and tidy, how much does it cost?
We added it on to the initial purchase from Opus. We liked the way the tank was attached on the front (and it was easier to get it fitted by Opus!) and also means the digital panel was neatly fitted near the entrance too
@@StaycationOzI like that very much too and planning to follow, how much was it charged for?
It was around $1000 for the heater and installation!! 👌
Do you have to crank up and down this camper trailer? Can I find in Canada?
Nope not at all, it inflates itself at a touch of a button, see our EP64 which is how we setup, no crank at all!! I believe they are available in Canada… definitely available in the US!
Dose it get cold or too hot
It is pretty good temperature wise. Obviously it is more impacted than a hard-sided camper, but isn’t too bad.

I’m thinking of trading my 32 foot trailer for the opus if I could talk my wife into it
😂 good luck!
