11 Quick Tips to set up and pack up your Air OPUS®
Tip 4 - When
operating the
winches ensure
that the winch
strap remains at
when using or
retracting.
.
Tip 3 - You can adjust the latch by
turning it along the thread, thus extending
it to avoid excessive pressure on the
latches. You can close your camper with
the latches longer, and then return to
tighten these up.
Tip 6 - When using your key to open and
unlock the door, push the door inwards
on the seal to take pressure off the lock
and it will open easier for you.
Tip 5 - Take special care to ensure
all canvas is tucked away on all sides
especially around gas struts, hinge points.
Tip 2 - To avoid placing too much
pressure on the latches and breaking
the latch hook, make sure you latch
down the back of the camper rst
(furthest from the hinge).

11 Quick Tips to set up and pack up your Air OPUS®
Tip 7 - During canopy ination make sure all external air valves are closed off and the main air
valve is open before turning air pump on.
Tip 8 - During annex ination make sure the air valves are closed off before turning air pump
on BUT MAKE SURE the cross filling tube valve is OPEN so that the air from the canopy can
purge/travel through to the air beams on to help.
Tip 9 - Remember to turn the
MAIN INFLATION valve in the
camper to the horizontal CLOSED
position when ination is complete
otherwise the canopy may slowly
deate over time.
Tip 10 - If the beams are losing air slightly you can turn the
inbuilt air pump ON and that will top up the air pressure in
all air beams back to the desired pressure, the pump will
turn OFF automatically. If you have a separate pump tube
and valve, ensure the pump is removed and the valve is fully
closed shut.
Tip 11 - Before you set off on your rst trip, do a couple of full set ups and while you have all
the canopy and annex up, remember to weather-in the canvas and allow to dry completely
before packing up!
To OPEN valve turn counter clockwise.
To CLOSE valve turn clockwise until firm.

About your Hitch
The Air OPUS®comes with a articulating
Lock’N’Roll hitch.
When hitching the Air OPUS®to your towing
vehicle you must ensure that someone is close
to the handbrake in order to maintain control
of the trailer, particularly when maneuvering
on uneven ground or a slope.
About your Electrical Plugs
7 PIN ROUNDED PLUG
The Air OPUS®is tted with a 7-pin rounded
plug that connects all the exterior trailer lighting
and the electric brakes to the towing vehicle.
A standard 7 pin plug is required on your tow
vehicle for this to connect to.
Disconnect these plugs when the engine of the
towing vehicle is not running, as it will continue
to draw current and you may end up with a
flat battery on your towing vehicle.
The 7-pin rounded plug runs through its own
resetable fused system located in the battery
compartment.
SOLAR PORT
You can also use the solar panel port to
attach a solar panel which will also charge your
Air OPUS®batteries. The solar panel must have a
built in charge regulator.
We recommend using any solar panel of at least
110W. Anything over 200W will be excessive as
you will not be draining your battery at such a
heightened rate.
HITCHING & TRAILER ELECTRICS
IMPORTANT
Wheel nuts should be checked
after first 100mi and then
every 2000mi.

Water System Set up
The Air OPUS® is tted with two fresh water tanks, with one unit mounted in front
of the axle and the other unit mounted behind the axle. Each water tank has its
own lockable ll point located on the driver side of the body of the Air OPUS® and is
plumbed to a 12v switchable water pump located on the circuit board.
Each tank has its own pump, each tank is stand alone.
Air OPUS®WATER SYSTEM
One tank supplies water to the driver’s shower side outlet behind the wheels and the
shower also located in this area. There is also the capability to connect mains water to
your inlet but you will require an external water regulator to avoid damaging your
system. The other tank supplies water to the slide out kitchen. There is also a water
outlet located next to the tank outlet connector.
The water tting closest to the rear of the camper on either side is your tank outlet. The
water tting closest to the front of the camper on either side is your inlet/cross lling tube.
Remove the red dust cap from the tting before activating the pump to ensure the
tting is not engaged and your water doesn’t pump out.
To use an opposing tank, simply plumb the inlet and outlet together on the side you
wish to plumb from and run the pump for the tank corresponding to that side. Then,
connect the blue hose on the opposing side you require water at to the outlet closest
to the front of the camper.

T ENT INFLA TION TECHNOLOGY

The kitchen sink is connected with a short hose with tting attached, this is to be plugged
into the water outlet connection on the Air OPUS® and the water intake on the kitchen,
which is only accessible when the kitchen is fully extended.
The kitchen has a drain hose attached to the sink drain. This is designed to drain cold
water to a waste container/bucket as the Air OPUS® is a cold water unit.
The water pumps are pressure operated, so once the main 12 Volt power switch is turned
on at the circuit board, the pump will prime the system and as soon as you turn the tap on
the water will ow. Once the tap is closed the pump will turn off until the tap is turned
back on.
When the water system is not required Air OPUS® recommends to switch off the pump
when not in use.
When packing away the Air OPUS® follow the procedure below in order to drain the
system of any excess water before disconnecting the water inlet and internal waste pipe:
A. Switch off the pump at the mains power switch.
B. Open the tap & allow the excess water in the pipe to drain.
C. Close the tap once all of the water has drained.
D. Disconnect either side of the male-to-male hose coupler.
E. Place the bottom waste water outlet pipe away under sink.
Draining your Tanks prior to storage
DO NOT use your pumps to drain your tanks - running the pumps until the tank
is dry will damage your pumps and will not be covered by warranty. Use the drain
point/sump plug on the underside of the tank. For further storage information refer to the
STORING YOUR OPUS section in this handbook.

Air OPUS®GAS SYSTEM
Safe operating procedures for your gas system
STEP 1. The Air OPUS® is tted with rings for two 20lb
gas bottles. One bottle at a time can be connected via
the gas regulator provided and must be turned off when
the gas is not in use.
STEP 2. To install a gas cylinder, ensure the gas cylinder is placed correctly with J-clamp,
attach the threaded gas line to the bottle ensuring that’s its been tightened so no leaks occur.
It is advisable to keep an adjustable spanner with jaw opening up to 30mm for this use.
STEP 3. Once kitchen has been pulled out all the way you can t the gas bayonet hose to the
bayonet. This is a simple push and twist to install.
STEP 4. The gas tap/valve on the top of the gas bottle can now be opened. Allow 5 minutes for
gas to plumb through.
STEP 5. Turn on the yellow gas tap (situated underneath the rear of the OPUS behind each of the
gas outlets unit) by turning 90° until it’s in -line with the gas hose.
STEP 6. Lift up lid of the gas hob, turn on one of the burners (push in, hold the knob down until
ame is lit and stays on. Keep pressing the button until the gas has had time to ll up the system
and the burner will ignite.
STEP 7. Switch off the yellow gas valve when not in use and ensure that the gas bottle valve is
closed prior to packing up the Air OPUS® for transit or storage.
When Annex is being used, ensure sure both ventilation points are clear and not covered, one
on the drop skirt and the other on the roof of the rear pod. Leave the privacy screen behind your
kitchen OPEN.
Gas fumes inside a camper trailer tent could result in unconsciousness, brain damage or even
death. Follow safe operating procedures with gas at all times:
• Ensure good ventilation throughout, at ALL times
• Do not use any other gas systems than those provided with
the Air OPUS®camper inside the tent
• Always turn off the shut off valve IMMEDIATELY after use.
TIP - If your igniter on your stove is not clicking, check your D battery hasn’t dislodged.
You can do this by removing your cutlery drawer, and the D battery is tucked under
the front of the stove top beneath the bottom right burner. This battery may lose
contact or become dislodged during transit.

T ENT INFLA TION TECHNOLOGY
12V Power - Safe operating procedures
The OPUS® has many 12v outlets they are a combination of standard 12v sockets, mini 12v
sockets, USB sockets and switches.
You will nd their location as follows:
• In the front tool box / fridge compartment there is a standard 12v socket. In the same
area there is a small switch that operates the fan located in the door (if tted on this
model)
• On both sides of the tool box there is an LED work light. This has an automatic on/off
switch
• Inside the OPUS® there are four 12v mini sockets. These are for the 12v LED lights at
the bed end. Above the main circuit board there is a twin 12v USB socket.
• Externally at the rear passage side next to the kitchen slide-out there are two additional
12v mini sockets and a standard 12v socket. The two mini sockets are designed to
operate the 12v LED light on the kitchen and a small annex light.
12 Volt - Safe operating procedures
The Air OPUS®has many 12V outlets - they are a combination of standard 12V
sockets,12V light sockets, USB sockets and switches. These are located throughout
your camper trailer both internally and externally.
Next to the main door you will nd your stereo system, light switch and dimmers for
internal and external xed body lighting. The dimmers will only operate the build-in
lighting and will not inuence any other lighting you run via sockets.
The control panel has a battery volt-meter that will provide an indication of the remaining
charge of the batteries and amp draw display in real time. A full battery will be indicated
by the Battery Level Indicator.
There are also two water tank gauges which will display the water level when pressed.
All switches have their own resetable fuse next to each of the switches in addition toa
master resetable circuit breaker for the whole 12V system located next to these controls.
Your batteries are also fused - in the battery compartment the large resettable fuse is
wired to the 7-pin wiring harness tted at the drawbar.
All sockets, fridge power and lighting will operate on 12V power from the on board
batteries; heavy usage and power hungry appliances will deplete the battery’s charge.
It is recommended to have the mains 120V connected to a suitable supply if available,
even if appliances are run on 12V only, to ensure your batteries remain topped up.
The battery charger is fully automatic and will recharge the batteries if the
Air OPUS®is connected to an 120V electric power supply via the 30amp power inlet.
Do not unplug or disconnect this charger internally as it may lose memory settings
for your battery set up and affect your charging. This is an automatic cycle charger and
if using, allow enough time for the charger to complete a full charge cycle.
Regular battery maintenance checks (charge once a month) will prolong the life of
your battery as AGM/Deep Cycle Batteries do not like to be drained at.
Refer to your battery charger instruction manual for further details.
