Cool. But like tent specs, "sleeps six" really means it's comfortable for two.
Sort of. For tents if they say 4 man, that is like a 2 man for most people. A 3 man for us. We like sleeping close. But, with this layout you do get a bed on each end of the camper. So if you need your space unlike a tent I would say this one would be more like sleeps 4 .
You’d be amazed how easy I could fit my 8 in there
We sleep 4 adults and 3 kids all the time
That's really only true if you're worried about cooties.
Or oxygen. 😂
$35k for this is insanity though.. Get real
We own a Sylvansport GO, and it’s perfect for us. Hauls all our gear, solidly built, tows like it’s made of air.
Yes, yes, and BIG YES to that last one. The more trailers we tow the more May and I realize what we really love is a trailer that feels like it isn't behind you.
I just sold my GO that I had for five years and will be getting my Bean teardrop in a month. The GO is a special little set up.
I think the point that a lot of the commenters here have missed is that this line of campers is designed specifically for off-road, "back country" camping. Provided you have a properly capable tow vehicle you can take these campers to places that a regular camper would be destroyed attempting to access. If all you plan to do is camp at campgrounds like 99% of people do, this is over-kill and a less expensive camper would work fine. This is actually one of the less expensive special built off road campers on the market currently.
very good point. Cause the price could pay for a LOT of hotel stays. But this is mean for back country camping. Great point.
Whoa! I am a disabled veteran and setting up my pop-up can sometimes be quite the chore due to that. I don't have a vehicle that can pull a travel trailer. This would be a total game-changer!
Same here, except I have a truck. I'm somewhat nervous about camping with the family, but this would almost not be like camping.
God Bless You for your service
You'd be better off with a scamp lite.....than this overpriced tent IMO.
@@texasgirl6000 - Well, I'm not getting one of these anyway. I am just upgrading to a TT. And yes, these are VERY expensive.
This actually a lot more than my travel trailer. This is nice though. My R-pod is medium sized within that brand and weighs 1000 lbs less
I am shopping for something to use at the Burning Man festival which means it will be baked in the daytime sun, subjected to powder-like dust conditions and cold/freezing nights. The issue I have with a lot of these pop-up which is great for my Jeep is that it lacks insulation. We will bake under the blazing sun. What if they added a 4" gap with an additional layer of reflective fabric above the ceiling of the tent fabric? It would manage the heat transfer so much better.
Hey that’s a great idea. I’ll have to try using an emergency blanket on the roof to reflect the sun and see if that makes a difference with the inside temperature of the tent. There’s also the reflective insulated bubble wrap stuff people use to black out the windows.
@@annwhale4418 a 4" gap between ceiling and fabric that the sun touches is enough to curb much of the heat transfer and avoid the 'oven-like' experience inside a tent. This is why some ppl use the rainfly on their tents on sunny days aside from management of morning dew.
Width people. WIDTH. My family couldn't wait to find one of these in our market geared for us. Love the design, love the look, love the opening sides, love the (extremely expensive) accessories, BUT, BUT, BUT... the beds are absolutely tiny, *especially* in the inflatable version (the massive airpoles exacerbate the original narrow design). Even my 5'4" wife had to sleep at an angle, curl up or crank her head. My 6' son? Not a chance. They (of course) make a "King Bed" extension that you can get to sort of address this issue, but then you're dangling your feet into the dinette.
Was a total bummer. Went to the new dealer expecting to hitch one up and drive it home. Nope. Sleeps 6? Yeah, sleeps a family of six 5'ers.
Bought an Aliner Somerset instead. No regrets.
Agreed. I find it funny that they promote how great the interior height is for tall people yet made beds that are 68” long.
Signed,
A 6’7” guy
@@curtgreeley8527 Yep. And, if you've been in one, 68" is a REAL stretch. Maybe, MAYBE, seam to seam they're 68", but actual usable space is far, far less. Can't stress enough: My 5'4" wife could not have slept comfortably at a right angle anywhere in that camper. If you and your family and friends are no taller than 5'2" than I'm not sure there's a single better camper on the market for you.
Otherwise...
I watch a lot of 4WD 24/7 (youtube channel) who are friends with the owners of OPUS. They often take these campers on 4 wheel drive trips for testing purposes, and the abuse they put them through is incredible. It's great when the owners / builders are just as keen to get out and use their products as the buyers.
Yes, OPUS rallies these trailers! Great point.
Back in the 70s Dad bought a used COX camper that opened-up from the center (left and right) creating the dome shape. We actually did, our family of 6 + Granny, camp in it for 3 weeks from Florida all the way out to Yellowstone. It was 1972 to be exact. One of us kids always had to sleep on the floor, however. That is what this design reminded me of.
This thing is incredible! The engineering that made this possible is top tier.
Its made in China....we have these in Australia as well.
@@petermeeny1038 well... Shoot
I'm amazed at how heavy the OP4 is it's dry weight is more than the fully loaded weight of my Coleman Westlake (12ft pop-up w/shower and cassette potty)
Yes. Very true. These overbuilt overland components can add up fast in terms of weight.
1972 Apache camper slept 8. Was really cool.
These pop ups are all fine and good, they’re like a Swiss Army knife on wheels, but to me it’s too much to deal with.
I am looking for mobile living, but not ‘camping’ in the sense of a van lifer.
Not bad rigs though.
$40,000 for a pop-up tent on a trailer I don't think so for that reason I'm out and when I'm four-wheel and off-road the last thing on earth I want behind me the trailer
We have the Sylvan Sport GO and we love it!
There are places in BC's far north, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Alaska that I have been where too many people don't take care of food storage, garbage, etc and bears have become habituated such that they require soft sided anything to camp inside electric fencing.
Years ago, from a tent, I watched a sow and yearling cubs rip a bumper pull trailer apart. When the guy came back to his camp we found out the only food in the trailer was an unopened box of Wagon Wheels.
(Wagon Wheels are what Moon Pies want to be when they grow up.)
I was just going to ask about the Wagon Wheels. Glad you elaborated. I wasn't sure if I wanted to mention this, but your post goes in line with a thought I had. I haven't had too many issues with bears consuming my goods. But, I do have one common thing they do like and that seems to be my self inflating sleeping mats (therma-rest). I have a friend who guides and sells inflatable rafts and kayaks. He has mentioned folks from the lower 48 purchasing a new raft. Flying it out to the bush and having it dropped at a base camp. To later find the boat completely shredded from a Brown Bear. I can't help but think my thermarests and these boats have something in common. The guide has never had these issues with older boats. Meaning it probably has to do with the glue on the seams or the off gassing from the material used to build the boat. Okay, Drew get to the point...Well I think if I had this camper I would definitely make sure to air it up and down quite a few times and do some test camping runs before taking it into bear country. Just a thought. Would I take it in bear country. Absolutely. But, Alaskans are a bit funny like that. There are quite a few pop ups running around in the north.
I was wondering myself about bear issues around soft sided trailers. I saw the same warnings for soft sided trailers posted in the Provincial Parks like Banff. I recently say an advertisement for perimeter, bear warning trip wires. When the wire is tripped it makes a loud bang like a shot gun. (I wonder if that would scare off a Sasquatch?) 🫣
I tune out when they kick it off with the slide-out kitchen stuff. I just want bare bones. I'll supply the rest.
For the price I would pick up the Winnebago hike travel trailer. That or spend 10k less for the black series classic double.
I live in the southwest and wind and sun are the main factors here. I don't plan on walking on stilts while in a camper. Eight feet seems to be excessive. I'd love to see a video of this rig in a 50mph wind. We get them often in New Mexico. And the sun would do a number on the skin of this camper. I love the looks and the ideas going into this rig and for the right area and the right family this might do it.
Great points you have here Jeff.
Pop-ups have certainly come a long way. But 25 years ago when I got in to RVing I bought a pop-up. I immediately realized that what I really had was a tent with an axle under it. Pain to set up and take down, can't heat or cool them. Leak in the rain, everything stays damp in humid areas and if you have to take it down when it's wet, you have to set it up again when you get home and wait for a sunny day to dry it out before you put it away again. So much trouble to use that it was not fun to use. I got rid of it in six months. If you don't mind all this, it might be for you.
Good points. We have a video that touches on everything you mentioned. There are some great things about pop-ups and then they also have their downsides,
@@PlayingwithSticks what's great about them is their light weight, towable by just about anything and garage storable. When I was in my 20s I probably wouldn't have minded any of the inconveniences I mentioned. But once in my 30s I didn't have the patience for it any more. But certainly, not everyone is like me. Pop-ups do have their place for many and they are better than they once were.
I'm imagining this being perfect for dryer climates, west coast, mountains, or winter in the south. No AC in the summer south is suffocating from experience.
Yeaaaaah ....Wellllll ..... Our experience was the opposite and we camped in Upper Michigan and Canada - not PNW wet, but really not hot and dry. We tent camped for years in bigger and bigger tents - family of 5. Nothing worse than setting up, taking down, or packing a big canvas tent in the rain, and sleeping on missed sticks and rocks!
Then we got the Coleman popup. It was like heaven. Cushy beds. Fridge instead of veggies floating in meat water. 5 minutes up or down in the rain. Play board games, cook, and eat while it rained. I never saw a leak. Warm and toasty summer camping. Fantastic. We found fast setup and takedown allowed us to move between campgrounds more often and explored more when we got bored or it rained too long.
So it was much better than a big canvas tent with less of a tent's problems.
My opus has a heater, hot water heater, fridge, batteries to power lights, fans, cpap. Way more then a tent on wheels.
well done. the air inflate is a cool idea. thanks for sharing, God bless
Hi Dave! Good to see you on here. And God bless you too Dave.
That fridge slide out is perfect for camping in bear country where you can't leave your cooler out
I never thought about that. Yes when we are car camping it’s quite annoying going back-and-forth with the cooler.
That little thing packs a punch! Lots of room, but I think I’d opt out of the potty. I’d hate to be the one sleeping right by it.
That Opus 4 is wicked cool, really innovative ! Thanks for showing it to us Drew !
Our Aussie neighbors did a great job creating this little camper. I think most people thought it was a bit of a fad or concept trailer when it first came out. However, years later those same people, including me, have come to find that the owners love them and seem to not be having any issues. I was excited to get this video out. Because it typically draws out the owners. I am really interested to hear their thoughts. If anyone is reading this comment and you are into outdoor adventures, especially hunting and camping go check out Back Tales Outdoors. I believe they currently are in the middle of ice fishing season, so you may want to check that out.
@@PlayingwithSticks Thanks Drew
This is probably the best trailer I have seen online. I think I better start saving….
Wait until you get in one. The ceiling height is hard to capture on video.
@@PlayingwithSticks so just how m7ch is the op4 with every thing shown in the video of the pop up camper op4 off road addiction
This was great thanks! We just traded in our pop up camper for a tear drop but this kind of innovation makes pop ups so much more appealing. The one thing I'm a little baffled by with the new generation of pop ups is how heavy they are. This is heavier than our travel trailer that sleeps 4 with an enclosed bathroom. We pulled our 20 year old pop up with a Toyota Matrix (maybe not the best idea in retrospect) because it was only 1500 lbs. What makes these new pop ups so heavy?
Probably all the accessories like the remote trailer mover/on demand hot water tank/AC/heater ect.
You gotta to be kiddin me on the OPUS inflatable camper. Just by unlatching the clips takes more than 90 seconds. Takes brute strength to setup up the heavy tarp tent and a lot of flexing and bending when inflating or deflating it. Sometimes you got to go to the small entry to push the tent up from the inside so the air pressure can flow better. That's why you bring your wife. This is a waste of money. The SYLVAN GO which is 10 years older than this is way to easy and functional. And it deflates throughout the day so you keep on checking the air pressure.
I live in and out of a 2004 Volvo Station wagon. This would be a Mansion to me. 💘
It truly would be. When I was in there it felt HUGE! Especially coming from a teardrop.
@@PlayingwithSticks Station wagon no teardrop. It to short to sleep in comfortably and warm. Very cold mega sore neck.
Can you make a video on what you recommend to start with for a family of 5. LOL I have enjoyed our videos but I am new to a camping lifestyle and want to learn as much as possible so I will be watching many of your videos. Thank you!
There really are some impressive campers out there. Thanks for introducing them to us!
Glad to be able to highlight these trailers for you Mike! Always a blessing to hear from you.
Like the small size and it's probably light enough even a regular sized car can probably pull it (or a small SUV even) but for that money though I think you could buy a fully-enclosed hard shelled camper (not as easy to store, but it would be insulated better both from noise and weather. I mean this is probably a 3 season camper, and would be fine for spring through fall camping, but again, for $30k I think you can get a bit more, but it is an interesting idea (basically a modified version of the typical pop-up trailer and better than those A-liner type trailers).
Love the video guys. I could watch stuff like this all day! I appreciate what you've done for the tiny camper community, I read about these trailers but nothing brings it alive like a PWS video. Thanks again!
Really nice and I wouldnt mind having one but not sure I want to spend that much. A couple of those toy haulers at the end might be ideal for me as well.
Wow, this camper looks amazing! It's a bit out of our price range but we're impressed. And the annex you can get to attach to the side looks wonderful. It would be great to have more cost-effective options for annexes that we can add to RVs of all sizes. We just bought a Rustic Trails Kodiak Stealth in 2021 and we're looking for a canopy room just like that which we could attach to our rig. We aren't wanting to spend $2,000 on something, though... If you have other suggestions of things we could check out we'd love to hear them!
What is the price range? This looks good.
It should be in the video we make sure we include prices
@@technicalout9547 Base model is about $20k usd. With options about $30k usd.
@@zoeemiko8149 WOW very pricey for a pop up even with the bells and whistles. I’d rather buy a used RV or Van so you can go year around, I mean like if you want to camp in the winter. I’m 66 now or I’d have lived year around in an RV for sure… I’m really looking for a tiny house or RV to be by myself. The older I get the more I like being by myself and my dog. Alas, my husband isn’t a fan of living tiny…🤷🏼♀️
"ohh we can't afford the fancy caviar with our champaign"
get some real problems
I didn’t spend $40k on my truck. Would I be stupid to have a trailer that costs more than my pickup?
Yes. Especially a pop-up
Can you sleep in your pick up truck comfortably, can you take a shower in your pick up truck, come on dude can you cook in your pick up truck?
You can take alot of vacations for 40grand
That remote is my hero!
Isn’t that crazy! The neat thing is that they are not proprietary to this trailer. I believe they can be installed on any modern trailer.
Drew hell of a job, keep it up, like what you are doing.
It’s like a modern concept of the old horse drawn covered wagon.
I never thought about it that way. But it truly is.
Honestly the first small trailer that you show where the back flips down and it’s a ramp that could be marketed to people in wheelchairs also that’s the one thing I found is that campers do not have a lot of room for electric wheelchairs nor they have ramps to get into them unless it’s a huge giant RV that one’s perfect for someone like me who doesn’t have children but would like to go RVing but happens to be an electric wheelchair so they really only needs to be room for me and maybe one other person.
Drew, I look forward to all of your videos. Thanks for educating the small trailer community on available options while also providing feedback from your own experience. I’m hoping you can reach out to Wander Tears to find out more about them :)
I would love to check them out. Just taking a quick glance they look like a nice cross between an Escapod Trailer and a Colorado Teardrop. I can't remember if you own a Wander Tear or you are just in the market. If you are in the market I would start by studying Escapod and Colorado and doing a side by side comparison. Also really great to hear you are enjoying these videos. Being up in Alaska it has always been hard for us to see trailers. That is part of what inspired all of this. Give everyone the opportunity to see the lifestyle and the trailers before committing to your first trailer and gear.
We don’t own and aren’t quite in the market yet. I’ve checked out both Escapod and Colorado teardrops and both seem to be great quality. What I like about wander tears isn’t so much that they have a specific teardrop, but they are more of a husband/wife team that are helping the DIY teardrop community. They sell plans, they sell just the frame, or they can build one entirely for a customer. I don’t think there is another company like that around.
Drew I like the first camper trailer. How much everything, plus I would put an air conditioner in place of the storage in front
I have that available for purchase
Drew. You ought to check out the alto safari r1713. I think it's one of the most interesting trailers that will fit in the garage.
I agree with you 100% Scott! I would love to take one out sometime. Occasionally we have manufactures reach out to us wanting suggestions for future builds. The alto Safari is always one I mention to them as a reference for a trailer that really packs a punch. In terms of a trailer that packs small, but lives big.
I saw a modified teardrop from the early 1950’s where instead of the galley kitchen in the back, when you open the back up, it creates a tall space for standing inside the trailer. Never have I seen this in a modern teardrop. It’s a superior design for those who would prefer sleeping in something less coffin-like. Is there a modern version that’s escaped my research?
I saw a bunch of those at a TearJerkers get together. Pop up the back hatch and snap on canvas. Very clever.
I just bought a 2021 Flyer Explore with the double tip out beds. We have so much camping toys and gear plus the dogs - it really is perfect for us.
This trailer makes a lot of sense to us. As our family grew I started realizing I needed a bit more storage as our toys increased with each adventure. Yet, I didn't want to add another vehicle to our fleet. I thought the Explore would be perfect because it could be towed by our commuter suv. And basically give us all the advantages of a truck (in terms of the camper being used as a truck bed). And I like that in theory you wouldn't have to necessarily remove all the extra toys to sleep. You could still tip out those beds and work around the gear if needed during an unplanned road side stop or campsite. Thank you for sharing this. Always fun to hear what campers folks are purchasing.
@@PlayingwithSticks Exactly! Also, an our door kitchen was important to us as well. We want to be outdoors as much as possible.
@@SquatchNomad You sound just like us!
Now that is pretty tall in there and I would love to have that camper
I think the height is a winner for quite a few campers out there!
In conversation about 20 years ago with a 70 year old guy, he claimed he’d tried absolutely all camper, RV’s etc. For him, best choice to save money, time, aggregation was that the pop-up was ultimately all and everything you need to camp. 🤷♂️😁
We were against pop-ups because they were a big part of our childhood. But after staying in one for 3 weeks about 2 years ago our love for them was rekindled. They really do make a lot of sense.
Most badass pop up
It really is!
That was a tent trailer on steroids! I love it.
That is a great way to describe it!
My guess is that this Opus wouldn’t work well for four season camping in Alaska. For the opposite reason, I wouldn’t want this to camp in Texas during the summer.
Good point. I have heard from folks that it is hard to maintain a constant temp throughout. Basically hot in the center and cold and drafty near the sleeping areas. I think that is probably true about most pop-ups.
I got the ezytrail Stirling gt. Was looking at these opus trailer but I don’t like the idea of paying an extra $10k just for the air system. My trailer takes the same time to set up (without annex)
Pretty nice. They need to make these that can be towed by Honda, Toyota and Subarus. Keep ‘‘em lighter with as much amenities as possible. Price though……like it but to much
My H4 Outback will tow 3500 pounds. In Britain and Europe people tow much bigger trailers with 1500cc cars - just not at 80mph, which you shouldn’t be doing anyway. One reason not to go mental on a motorbike on holiday weekends!
I love the idea of pop up trailers. My only concern is how much weight the pop out beds will hold. My wife and I are kinda large (i.e. each of us is a little over 300lbs). So for the one with the larger beds I would be concerned to share it with my wife. And I did a little searching (not a lot) and I can't seem to find how much weight each of the pop out bed can hold. Does anybody know how much they normally hold ?
One thing I will NEVER have is the problem you are addressing! May the LORD RICHLY bless you BOTH! 🙏🙌💖
That was the most cleverly hidden cut comment I’ve seen in a while. I’ll pray for your soul, but only after I take a satisfying dump to remind me of y’all.
@@GratefulOverlander Because weight has nothing to do with health. Also, my wife has been on so many diets from when she was a kid that her body is totally screwed up from the weight loss and weight gain over the past 50 years of her life.
The bed on the Opus is supported by the trailer it doesn't float over air. So it connects to the front and is supported by tires 4 Jack's and the wheel on the tongue. Me and my husband 500lbs sleep and move with no shaking movement etc. The batteries even power my cpap.
@@amberheywood2603 Thank you so much
Great vid on a high quality Camper with all the bells and whistles, My only dislike is the PROPANE heater. they give off way too much moisture, and in the long run you will pay a big price, my suggestion toss the propane heater and install a diesel model a much dryer heat. Thank you
Maybe I’m wrong on this. But I find with vented propane I don’t get much of a moisture issue at all.
This model is vented propane. Now when I use something like a wave heater or a buddy heater yes there’s moisture issues.
This is really nice! How much is one?
Edit: Nevermind, just saw the prices of the smaller ones so I can imagine how expensive the 1st one is 😬
I like the Sylvan sport go!! No truck.
0:45 is first mention of name of camper. No mention in title or below the video. No links to trailer, just amazon and other youtube. Just a FYI
4:40 - righty tighty lefty losey is Australia too, so I'm not sure why it has a reverse thread
This is the only pop up I’d ever consider buying!
I'm a fan. Your videos are among the best resources for a guy like me whose looking at this world of camping and researching the best way to assault it.
Question...for anyone in particular. I've been to some RV shows but typically I don't see many tear drops or smaller trailers. Are there particular RV shows dedicated this this genre of camping trailers? Thanks again Sticks!
Yeah! one big small-camper show! Wouldn't that be fun!
If you go to camper manufacturer's websites you can find their RV show schedule or email them. However, since a lot of the small manufacturers don't even have dealers, it costs money for them to go to the shows, and they already have a backlog of orders, they may expect you to visit them.
Some of the specialty "expedition" campers (usually small, light or REALLY radical and expensive) do get together for shows. Examples are the roof top tents, wedge campers, popup truck campers, and. various expedition trailers and 6x RVs.
@@mikemead2315 Thanks Mike.
Mike is absolutely right. Very hard to find the majority of non-mass produced trailers at a show. They are spread all over the states. Luckily for most of us if you do a Google search you can typically find two or three manufacturers within your state or surrounding states. Five years ago this wasn’t a possibility.
Check out Overland Expo website for their events.
"Overland Expo is the world's most unique event for do-it-yourself adventure travel enthusiasts...."
They have 4 events across the country: East, West, PNW, Mountain.
Dope trailers. Holy smokes they are expensive compared to just a couple years ago.
I bought a Patriot X1 but the opus was my second pick along with the Black trailer (very similar to the opus)
This looks great but what happens when you spring an air leak somewhere?
You had me at off road/solar.😍
Yesss!
with respect, time to drop the dis- ‘Not Your Grandmother’s…’. Grandmothers are awesome!!
Haha. So true!
Best of all it’s it’s orange! Orange = adventure! 🤣
You yanks really know how to build great camping trailers.👍🏴
Wohoo…
A tent for the price of a camper.
These are nice. But for the price point and NO AC is a deal breaker for me at that price point. Being in the south the summer heat is brutal.
Is there an off road pop up camper that is just that, a simple pop up? We have a tiny flagstaff mac with a 4" lift. 8' box, sleeps six, 1600#s, cost $6k nearly new. Its just that the suspension is really terrible for our wyoming/colorado mountain roads. We've camped next to a few Opus 4's, super interesting, but there's too many doo-dads and things hanging off if it that IMHO, people don't really need--plus a 3200# trailer on an 18' box. That's a lot.
Yes, lighter and more simple pop ups would be nice. Even the basic, non-off-road versions are surprisingly heavy. I have always been surprised at how high the weight comes in for all these pop-ups.
@@PlayingwithSticks The family of 4, off road, light camper set up is severely limited. It shouldnt be #3200's or 50k to get something that works.
Tons of features, to be sure, but what happens if you’re in a windy, or even breezy, location? I’m think The Wall, in SD, or even the OBX, in NC, Quartzite, etc. Seems like your “house” on wheels would suffer serious stability concerns
Sometimes I find it ironic how expensive and complicated it can be to simply enjoy the great outdoors. It'd super convenient tho, easy to stay comfy
Love this trailer, not so the movie screen.
Was that "Come And See" shirt?!
We love The Chosen!
Good eye! Like you we love The Chosen as well.
REALLY AWESOM CAMPER AND LIKE THE SWEAT SHIRTS!!!
The music sounds like a ripped of version of “we move lightly” by Dustin O’Hallerhan
This is the camper from A Goofy Movie… minus the bowling lane.
instead of AGM why is the Opus not runnjng Lithium, being that they are much lighter & efficent not to mention all things considered better value for money.
How long do the batteries last if your not in Wyoming but in Texas and need to run that AC the whole time
Last time I looked the beds are only 6ft 2ins across. That's a bit too tight for anybody 6ft and above if they want to stretch out.
For as pricey as those Opus trailers are you think they would have lithium batteries. Nice, but expensive. Definitely better than our first camper (pop up) we had.
Good question. My guess is with the difficulty of controlling the outside temps due to the canvas design. The best route would be AGM batteries due to their cold weather properties. For many of us northern folks we opt for AGM over lithium. And like you this camper definitely exceeds our first pop-up, by a long shot! They have come quite a long ways.
@@PlayingwithSticks Good point about the batteries. Wasn't thinking about the lower temperatures and the inability to charge lithium. Also, the price has come quite a long ways too. :-)
I wanted to get more info on the Opus line up but their website is horribly slow.
Slide out kitchen. Might as well take the bath tub and toilet too😂
do you have a trailer recommendation for a 6'2" tall guy that weighs 500lb+. In a weight loss program and trying to get back to the outdoors like I used to.
Hope you are doing well...stay strong you'll get there.
Wish they would make a pop up like this just for 1 or 2.
As an aussie i'd like to just laugh at the thread on the leveling jacks annoying you. Thats how i feel on 99% of things designed in America(most things)
I'm a newbie to this channel so you may have worn it before, but I spied a "Come And See" sweatshirt!!! Love "The Chosen"!!! :D
Is that solar/battery setup enough to run lights and the fridge?
Typically for lights and fridge at bare minimum it takes 100 W. At 200 W you’ll never even have to think twice about it. We use 100 W of solar to power our entire trailer and our refrigerator. But because this is an off-road trailer they tend to use fridges that use a bit more energy so I would lean towards 200. I can’t remember how many watts of solar was in this video.
First big thunder storm in upstate New York that thing would be done !! I don't think Air tunes are gonna hold up to high winds !!
All I need is that pump system to pop up the “tent” and an ac!
👍
Drew I need your opinion on something. I love to camp. I have a 2020 Subaru Outback. I’m looking for a camper that is light enough not to put a lot of wear and tear on my SUV. In a year or 2 I want to downsize and live in it full time. I know there is a lot of places you can camp for free. I am a divorced male who lives alone. I am semi retired and maybe go full retirement next year. My question for you is what is the best small camper for my needs. I want to do some traveling and some local camping before I completely retire. Just to make sure it’s for me. I have been looking at the Camp-Inn composite teardrop road toad. I already have all my camping gear and don’t need all the stove refrigerator and all that stuff. Let me know what you think please.
Shut up! Love it
That camper has some cool features! If the pump goes out, can you set it up manually?
That is a good question. I never looked closely at the valves.
Yes it comes with a manual pump. The system is high volume, low pressure. So the hand pump will inflate it in about six minutes
I'm on the order list for a 2023 XLT hybrid Ford Maverick, which will let me tow 2K. Do you have a recommendation for one it can tow that has an inside kitchen & bathroom? After hurricanes Frances and Jeanne we lived in a travel trailer for more than a year, beside our house, so I'm positive I want the inside kitchen and bathroom :D Thanks!
These are always grossly over priced. And slide out kitchen is nice, but what if it's pouring down rain? 🌧️ Not too mention pop ups are only good for warm weather camping. I'm looking for something small to live in full time, as a single person w/one dog, that doesn't cost $20k!!😕
This is the best camper I have seen yet and checks all of my boxes. Thanks for the review!!!
very cool design I love the air tents and gazebos cheers Pal
We are huge suckers for Trailer annexes. I love that you can do an awning for an enclosed tent and they only take two minutes to air up.
That is absolutely amazing. But, I'll bet that thing cost a small fortune.. any idea of the price 💡 👀 🤔 ???
Yes quite high. The price is near the end of the video.
Could you place this upon an truck that does not have a bed?
That would be neat wouldn’t it? I just saw a pop camper like this pop up on UA-cam a few days ago. I can’t remember the name of it, but it was coming from a manufacture. not home built.
Fit in garages!!!
Love the Opus.
