11 QUICK TIPS TO SET UP
AND PACK UP YOUR
AIR OPUS®
Invest in a cordless drill and
19mm hex head bit to adjust
stabiliser legs rather than
manually winding them.
When
operating
the winches
ensure that
the winch
strap remains
flat when
using or
retracting.
To avoid placing too much pressure
on the latches and breaking the
latch hook, make sure you latch
down the back of the camper first
(furthest from the hinge).
TIP 1
TIP 4
TIP 2
Take special care to ensure all
canvas is tucked away on all sides
especially around gas struts, hinge
points.
TIP 5
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 6
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 3

opuscamper.com.au 07
11 QUICK TIPS TO SET UP
AND PACK UP YOUR
AIR OPUS®
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 7
During annexe inflation 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 8
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 9
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!
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.
TIP 10

HITCHING & TRAILER
ELECTRICS
About your Coupling
7 PIN FLAT PLUG
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.
About your Electrical Plugs
The Air OPUS® comes with a DO35
off-road coupling.
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 manoeuvering
on uneven ground or a slope.
IMPORTANT
Wheel nuts should be checked
after first 100km and then
every 1000km.

BRAKE SET UP
About your Brakes
BREAK-AWAY SWITCH
Your camper comes with a break-away
switch. This is a safety device which will
apply the trailer brakes if it becomes
disconnected from the tow vehicle
MAINTENANCE
As part of the annual service check you should
have completed by an accredited industry
service agent, the brakes should be checked
and maintained.
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
departing, place car in drive and check that
the Air OPUS® brakes are on. Refer to brake
controller user manual for correct adjustment.
IMPORTANT
The break-away switch is not a
security device! When cable is
pulled, switch will drain power
from batteries

opuscamper.com.au 10
SETTING UP YOUR
Air OPUS® CAMPER
Once you have positioned & leveled your
Air OPUS® on flat ground (leveling wedges
may be required - not supplied), engage the
handbrake & disconnect hitch, wiring & chains
from tow vehicle.
STEP 1
If roof rack is fitted, remove D Clips and
unlatch the 2 retaining clips. Once rack
is free push up until the gas struts take
the weight. From the other side of the
camper pull roof rack into vertical
position and secure upright with D
clips through mounting point.
STEP 5
STEP 2STEP 3STEP 4
Using the leg winder supplied, gently lower
corner steady legs until each touches the ground
with enough pressure to stop any rocking.
If you have a drop down spare wheel set up, please
adhere to these safety requirements. Unclip the
spare wheel carrier and lower it down gently to
the ground, taking care to support the weight of
the spare wheel carrier so that it does not swing
free and fall.
Raise or lower the jockey wheel to level your
Air OPUS® lengthways.

The Air OPUS® is fitted 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 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.
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 fitting closest to the rear of the camper on either side is your tank outlet. The water
fitting closest to the front of the camper on either side is your inlet/cross filling tube.
Remove the red dust cap from the fitting before activating the pump to ensure the fitting 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.

Air OPUS®
WATER SYSTEM
Water System Set up

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.
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.
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:

GAS SYSTEM
IMPORTANT
CHECK THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT
FITMENT AND SAFE USE WITH THE GAS
CYLINDER MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER.
The Air OPUS® is fitted with rings for two 9kg
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.
PLEASE refer to the information located on the rear of your
OPUS® gas certificate.
STEP 1
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 2
The gas tap/valve on the top of the gas bottle can now be opened. Allow 5 minutes for gas to
plumb through.
STEP 4
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 5
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 6
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 Annexe 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.
STEP 7
Once kitchen has been pulled out all the way you can fit the gas bayonet hose to the bayonet.
This is a simple push and twist to install.
STEP 3
Safe operating procedures for your gas system
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.

Air OPUS® 240 VOLT
MAINS POWER
240V - Safe operating procedures
The Air OPUS® comes fitted with a 240 volt power system. This 240 volt power system complies
with Australian Safety Standard AS3001.
The main circuit breaker and RCD is located with the main 15Amp power input on the driver’s side
of the Air OPUS®
There are two 10A internal 240V power points and one external. In the storage area behind the
stereo is the first 240V outlet and the second outlet is located in the front D/S storage.
The external power point is located on the passenger side of the Air OPUS® in front of the wheel
arch. Regular battery maintenance checks (charge every 2-3 weeks) will prolong the life of your
batteries as AGM/Deep Cycle Batteries do not rejuvenate well from flat.

Air OPUS®
12 VOLT POWER
12 Volt - Safe operating procedures
TOWING WIRING
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 find your stereo system, light switch and dimmers for internal and
external fixed body lighting. The dimmers will only operate the build-in lighting and will not
influence 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 50amp Anderson plug fitted 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 240V 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 240V electric power supply via the 15amp 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 flat.
Refer to your battery charger instruction manual for further details.
Your towing vehicle must have an in-car electric brake controller
installed or your warranty will be voided.
The trailer lights and electric brakes are wired to a standard 7 pin trailer plug. The Air OPUS® is
fitted with electric brakes. While in transit if the tow vehicle has the Anderson Plug connected
this will also be topping up the batteries.
