12 Handy tips that will make
you a PRO at setting up an
Air OPUS!
Tip 1 - Invest in a cordless drill and
19mm hex head bit to adjust stabiliser
legs rather than manually winding them.
Tip 2 - When lowering the spare wheel,
grab the bed support struts and rest them
on the spare wheel for easy fitment to the
bed section.

Tip 3 - When folding the bed lids away, always fold the rear bed lid first and ensure all
canvas is tucked in.
Tip 4 - Take special care to ensure all canvas is tucked away on all sides especially around
gas struts, hinge points and where the two folding lids meet in the centre of the camper.
Tip 5 - To avoid placing too much pressure on the latches and breaking the latch hook,
make sure you latch down the overcentre catch that is closest to the center first.
Tip 6 - You can adjust the latch by turning it along the thread, thus extending it to avoid
excessive pressure on the latches and breaking the latch hook.

12 Quick Tips to set up and pack up your Air OPUS®
Tip 8 - During canopy inflation make sure all external air valves are closed off and the
main air valve is open before turning air pump on.
Tip 9 - During annexe inflation make sure the air valves are closed off before turning air
pump on BUT MAKE SURE the annexe linking tube valves are both OPEN so the air from
the canopy can flow through to the air beams on to help.
Tip 10 - Remember to turn the
MAIN INFLATION valve in the
camper to the horizontal
CLOSED position when inflation
is complete otherwise the
canopy may slowly deflate over
time.
Tip 11 - 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.
Note: Remember to open the main valve while
inflating.
Tip 12 - Before you set off on your first trip, do a couple of full set ups and while you have
all the canopy and annexe 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 Coupling
The Air OPUS® comes as standard with a
two part polyblock off-road coupling.
When hitching the Air OPUS® to your towing
vehicle use the trailer handbrake in order to
maintain control of the trailer, particularly
when manoeuvering on uneven ground or a
slope.
About your Electrical Plugs
7 PIN
The Air OPUS® is fitted with a 7-pin flat 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.
ANDERSON PLUG
The Air OPUS® is also fitted with a standard 50
amp Anderson Plug which is connected to the
Air OPUS® batteries. If you have an Anderson
plug on your towing vehicle that is connected to
your vehicle battery then you can attach these
two together whilst towing. 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.
You can also use this Anderson plug to
attach a solar panel which will also charge your
Air OPUS® batteries. Your solar panel must
have a built in regulator. The Anderson Plug
runs through its own fused system located in
the battery box.
HITCHING & TRAILER ELECTRICS
IMPORTANT
Wheel nuts should be checked
after first 100km and then every
1000km.

Air OPUS® BRAKE SET UP
About your Brakes
The Air OPUS® is fitted with electric trailer
brakes. You need an electric brake controller
fitted to your car in order to tow the Air
OPUS® and operate the electric brakes
safely.
Before towing, check that the Air OPUS®
brakes are on. Refer to your brake controller
user manual. To test brakes, connect to
running car and use the electric brake
controller manual over ride switch/button
lever.
As part of the annual service check you should
have completed by an accredited industry
service agent, the brakes will be checked and
maintained.
IMPORTANT
Failure to tow with a brake
controller in your vehicle is both
dangerous and illegal and will
void warranty.

Water System Set up
The Air OPUS®is fitted with two 80L 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 fill 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
The front tank supplies water to the driver’s shower side outlet (the blue hose fitting)
behind the wheels and the shower also located in this area. There is also the capability
to hook the main water with an external water regulator (not a standard item), to the
forward yellow hose inlet connector. The rear tank supplies water to the slide out kitchen.
There is also a water outlet located next to (the yellow hose fitting) the tank outlet
connector.
- All red plugs / dust caps must be removed before turning pumps on.
- Using adaptor hose, the front tank can be plumbed to kitchen via blue joining hose.

TENT INFLATION TECHNOLOGY
The kitchen sink is connected with a short hose with fitting 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 flow. 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.

IMPORTANT
CHECK THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CORRECT FITMENT AND SAFE
USE WITH THE GAS CYLINDER
MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER.
Air OPUS®GAS SYSTEM
Safe operating procedures
for your gas system
PLEASE refer to the information located
on the rear of your OPUS®gas certificate.
STEP 1. The Air OPUS®is fitted with a mount
for two 9kg gas bottles. The bottle is to be
connected to gas regulator 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,
continue with attaching the gas hose to bottle ensuring that’s its been tightened so
no leaks occur. Eg. like getting a gas bottle and attaching it to your BBQ at home. First
connect the gas hose onto the cylinder. 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 full you can fit the gas bayonet hose to the
outlet. 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.
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° as detailed in the set-up section if you
haven’t already done so.
STEP 6. Lift up lid of the gas hob, turn on one of the burners (push in, hold the knob
down until flame is lit and stays on. Keep pressing the button until the gas has had time
to fill up the system and the burner will ignite.
STEP 7. Ensure that the gas bottle valve is closed prior to packing up the Air OPUS®
for transit or storage. The Air OPUS®has two gas outlet bayonet fittings. At each point
there is an on/off valve located right behind the gas outlet. Each valve must be turned
off when not in use.
For use when Annex is set up make sure both ventilation points are clear and not
covered, one on the drop skirt and the other on the roof of the rear pod.
These are to be turned off when the point is not in use. The outlet on the driver’s side
is a gas BBQ (not supplied) while the outlet on the passenger side is to supply the
4 burner cook top in the slide-out kitchen. This hose is fitted to the cook top and is
located under the sink. Both of these points should have the protective plugs inserted
when not in use.
When the gas is not in use the shut off valve and gas bottle should be in the off/closed
position. 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.
