RV REVIEW |
which replace the standard
hoops, until they become
rigid enough to hold the tent
securely in place.
Now, it’s important to note
that our review Air Opus
was a prototype – production
models will be available
soon. So, therefore, there
were a couple of niggles that
are being ironed out as you
read this. The check valve on
the air-compressor leaked
slightly and the base of one
of the air beams had a habit
of popping out of position.
The reason for this is the tent
for our prototype Air Opus
was built on the body of a
standard Opus.
MOVING THE KITCHEN
The early-model Opus
campers had a small onboard
kitchen. When the camper
was packed up, three kitchen
modules had to be rested
on the floor of the camper,
leaving no space for other
items, such as sleeping bags.
The new Opus recognises this.
The internal kitchen has been
removed entirely, freeing
up the offside in favour of
storage space, and a slide-
out stainless steel kitchen can
be fitted to the nearside as
part of the Ready to Roll pack.
Electrically speaking, the
Air Opus is much more
sophisticated than its
forebears, and beneath the
Opus you’ll find independent
coil suspension and, overall,
a neat finish to the wiring
and plumbing. There are two
80L water tanks fitted – the
second tank is part of the
Ready to Roll pack – each
protected by chec kerplate.
STEP INSIDE
Inside, the Air Opus has two
double beds, front and rear,
