WHEN CAMPER IS INFLATED. ISOLATE
BEAM & DEFLATE BEFORE BEGINNING

not be repaired please contact the dealer.

repaired beam. This is a firm fit - ensure it
is pushed on ALL the way and sitting flush
before reopening valve.

Reopen the crosslinking valves to
allow air to equalise. To repressurise the
camper, open your main valve and reactivate

crosslinking valves again once done to
retain pressure.

Storage
Pack down the camper correctly as per procedure outlined.
Make sure that you pack down your Air OPUS
®
tent and annex when the canvas is
completely dry BEFORE being stored
.
If taken down wet, dry completely at the first
opportunity to avoid damage to the tent or annex - this MUST be done within the next
24 hours.
IIt is strongly advised that you purchase a storage cover for your Air OPUS
®
if it is to be
stored in an uncovered location. A storage cover is advised if your camper is left
exposed to the elements.
Clean off dirt, tree sap, bird & bad droppings and grime on the unit from travelling/
terrain to keep your camper in good condition and maximise its longevity. Failure to do
this may permanently mark or stain your composite panelling.
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. Empty the water
tanks prior to storing. Ensure this is done from drain points and not
by running the pump.
Return to the Road
Ensure that your camper and accessories are fit for the road and you adhere to
all local laws.
Check the wheels and tires and ensure they are in good condition with the wheel nuts
correctly torqued (125NM).
Check the tire pressure before driving (80PSI when cold).
Check that polyblock coupling (receiving hitch) is tight.
Check the lights and fittings and ensure they are functioning correctly.
The chassis/running gear and the gas installation of your OPUS
®
camper should
be checked on an annual basis by a qualified service center.
