Did it survive Australia!? 12 month review of the OPUS OP2 camper trailer 

I have just taken our Opus OP_Lite in to get fixed. We have problems when driving through rain with it. It leaks through the seals into the fridge area and up through the wheel arches into the storage areas under the seats. One of the air beams always has a kink in it and have had one of the connecting hose's work it's way lose and let all the air out while I was sleeping. But I really do like my OP_Lite. It is so easy to put up myself, we have the pod rooms for when the daughter and mother in-law come. We leave the annex on it and the whole thing blows up around the 5 minute mark. We have put a 100mm inspring mattress in it and so much better. I would recommend these trailers even thou they are an import as price and value and the are NO POLES.

I'm just having a small dig just for a bit of fun....the only person that really can give a real review is the one that towed it the most....and that be your misso....want proof just go back and view all videos over the year....

Sense 265/70r16 tyres are 30.6 inches tall why not a 31×10.50r15? availablity?, sidewall strength?, wheel width(15×7)/offset? and would a 265/75r16 fit with a 1 inch lift ?

To be honest you must have a different opus to me, ours leaked water all through the sleeping area and fridge area and found mould all through it, and ours rusted pretty bad, a few times a hose burst while we were sleeping so the camper deflated on top of us. Not worth the 32k we paid for it

How do they go packing away wet then setting up again. Is the inside dry?

Looks like a nice camper, love the stove/sink and all that, must be tough to survive 12 mths with you but has some battle scars, Good review

I've seen these on other shows, and they are tough as. They're briliant for multi day trips where you can leave them and go explore. I have a popup trailer with all the good stuff, and if I go for just a day trip....what a pain. The setup isn't worth it. Great review, guys! Cheers🎉

Did it ever bother you when the canvas got wet or dewy and you couldn't dry it whilst been out camping and on the road if that makes sense

Pretty sure the lithium needs to be seperate to the living area, sealed and vented to outside because its a "connectable" system??

Took my OP4 on the Old Tele Track. Got to Punsand, have a few love marks from the track but made it 😂

Cool ep and set up guys

Great review !

Just borrowed a mates ‘21 OP4 and absolutely loved it. As a basic, quick and easy set up that give you everything you could possibly want and more. Obviously being a couple of years older there are some differences. His was 2 AGM batteries with no DCDC charger, was just lucky that my car has one in the back to my dual battery system so with some minor modifications I got power from that and that changed everything. His doesn’t come factory with a hot water system, that was an optional extra so it was cold showers and creeks for us, not a problem but it was starting to get quite cool in SW WA in April and an 18 month old doesn’t appreciate the simple life like we do haha. 2 of the major/frustrating issues was the switches. One had already failed when we picked it up, it is a very common problem in them where the latching mechanism in the switch fails so unless you want to sit the and hold the button in then you have no power, and we had another 2 fail while using it so 3/6 are shot and you cannot find those bloody switches anywhere, I looked everywhere and spoke to anyone that would listen in every town that we stopped in. We saw online that quite a few people had had to retire the entire “motherboard” to suit new switches and that really is the only other option. The second one was the strip lighting connectors. In-between light to light was fine, but the built in sockets which also haven’t changed get ridiculously sloppy over time so you have to rely on the wind blowing in the right direction, specifically you 3rd toe on your left foot to be 5mm of the ground, mercury to be in rising and no less than 1 other person writhing 1 km for the bloody things to work, and even then. We became very inventive with how we propped the cables to try and hold them in the right positions, moved them to different plugs etc but it made zero difference. I spoke to a guy on one of the nights that we stayed at a caravan park and his was brand new and that was the first question he asked, so that’s something else that needs to be considered/changed.

Great review guys, have you ever had a beam burst or any problems with leaks,

Where's Gary , we need that cheeky little thunderbolt to make an appearance ,

We’ve recently brought an op4, your videos are what go us interested in them!

Hey guys, another great video. One question, I note the windows have the clear plastic and canvas however do any of the windows have a midgee mesh fly screen ? How do you go with air flow through the camper if all windows and doors zipped up ?

Good walk through... How does the camper go with the dust?

Very Nice good Job

May I ask what vehicle you’re using? Is this a toyota land cruiser? If so, what year and model? Thanks!
