@@SetUpCamp How does this work in the rain? Wouldn't rain pool inside the camper then as you're closing this up? If so, when you go to unpack wouldn't it be a bit wet inside the tent once fully deployed?
Sam Smith Gday Sam, our advice around packing up in the rain is to ensure that the camper is completely zipped up before you pack it down. It does provide an effective barrier between the interior and any possible pooling water. We also strongly recommend that if you do pack up wet, you get the camper back up within 24hours to avoid any mould growing on the canvas. Even if it’s still raining when you get home
It is a statement that we hear a lot Robyn. The reality is, that yes if you pack down wet, you need to open back up within 24 hours to ensure you don't have mould growing but if your concern is around water getting inside, then I can tell you first hand that the amount of water that penetrates inside is almost non existent with the OPUS. The curved design stops pretty much eliminates water pooling anywhere on the canvas so any water will only be whatever is falling on top as you are closing the lids. If you can live with that, you end up getting a lightweight, hardy, super easy to use camper that will go to all the places your tow vehicle will allow you to go. Where are you located Robyn?
So what happens when you get a hole in the balloon... or the air pump fails? Are their any backup fail safes? Doesn't seem like an "off road" trailer being dependent on so many tiny variables to work
Yes it can be done. Be aware though, packing down with all the canvas attached means you need to pay particular attention to ensuring the lids close completely on to the rubber seals to avoid water and dust entering the camper
