HITCHING & TRAILER
ELECTRICS
About your Coupling
7 PIN
The 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 OPUS® is also fitted with a standard 50 Amp
Anderson Plug which is connected to the caravan
batteries via 5 Amp DC-DC charger. 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.
About your Electrical Plugs
The OPUS® OP13 comes as standard with
DO35 articulated off-road coupling. When
hitching the OPUS® to your towing vehicle
you must ensure that someone is close to
the trailer handbrake in order to maintain
control of the trailer, particularly when
manoeuvring on uneven ground or a slope.
IMPORTANT
Wheel nuts should be checked after
first 100km and then every 1000km.
IMPORTANT Disconnect these plugs when the engine of the towing vehicle is
notrunning, as it will continue to draw current and you may end
up with a flat battery on your towing vehicle.
This should not be used as solar input.

BRAKE SET UP
About your brakes
The OPUS® is fitted with electric brakes. Your
tow vehicle will need an electric brake controller

the electric brakes safely.
Before towing, check that the caravan brakes
are on. Refer to your vehicles brake controller
user manual. To test brakes, connect to running
car and use the electric brake controller manual
override switch/button/lever.
As part of the regular 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.
