3. Disconnect the faulty beam from the AIR transfer hoses connecting it to the rest of the tent. Make sure the isolation
valves are in the closed position on both sides of the AIR transfer hose. Unscrew the front part of the isolation valve until
you can slide it along the grey hose. Pull the grey hose off of the valve. It is not screwed or glued in place, just a tight fit.
Take care not to damage or stretch the grey hose and do not use tools to pry it off.
4. If the air beam you are replacing is 1T through 5T then you will need to disconnect the exterior quick release valve.
unscrew the valve including the larger retaining nut at the back of the vavle. This will allow you to push the rubber part
of the valve connected to the air beam through the maint tent and disconnect it from the inner protective layer.
5. You should now be able to remove the faulty AIR beam inside the inner protective sheath. Please note that it may be held
in place by velcro at the ends. You can now unzip this and remove it for inspection and patching or replacing.
6. Next, take your repaired or replacement AIR Beam and insert it back into the inner protective sheath. Take care to avoid
damaging the exposed rubber beam and do not catch the beam in the zip. Make sure there are no twists in the air beam
and that the valves properly fit through the aperatures in the sheath.
7. Re-insert the beam into the main tent. If the beam is 1T through 5T you can start by feeding the quick release valve back
through to the exterior of the tent and replace the retaining nut and valve.
8. Re-connect the AIR transfer hose on the main tent to the new beam. Push the grey transfer hose over the isolation vavle
on the new beam and screw the front part of the valve back in place on the valve. Please note that you may find this part
on the isolation vavle on your new AIR beam too - of so, please retain this as a spare.
9. If you are satisfied the replacement AIR beam has been inserted correctly and the tube is fully inserted into the valve,
zip the new beam inside the outer protective layers attached to the tent and replace the velcro straps. Position the ends
against the velcro on theother beams or the interior furniture as required.
10. Open your isolation valves on the new beam and on the connecting AIR beams. You should hear and see the new beam
fill with air quickly. Depending on which beam you are replacing, you may need to open the rest of the isolation valves
and press the AIR compressor button to fully inflate the tent.
CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITIES
In order to ensure you get the most out of your OP LITE and that warranty claims may be processed in a swift and timely
manner, we ask that our customers adhere to the following guidelines:
1. Regular and proper maintenance of your OP15, including but not limited to the steps outlined in this user manual. If
you have maintenance or service questions not covered by this manual OR you notice something out of the ordinary
with your camper please contact your dealership for more information This includes scheduled maintenance of your
OP15 and addressing any issues as they arise and without delay
2. Get to know your OP15 well. By learning about your camper and its components you will get an enhanced user
experience and avoid issues arising from mis-handling as well as become more likely to spot if something requires
additional servicing
3. It is the responsibility of the OP15 owner to ensure all warranty work is completed by an approved OPUS dealership.
Failure to do so may result in incomplete or refusal of warranty claim repair cost reimbursement.
Any modifications without written consent from OPUS Camper could result in loss of warranty coverage. Contact us or your
dealer before completing any work.
EXTERNAL CARE
FOR YOUR OP LITE
• Inspect the outside panels of your OPUS® including the roof (bed lids) for any damage, cracks or wear. Proper maintenance
of seals is necessary to keep moisture from entering and causing severe damage such as rot, mold or mildew. If you find
dry, cracked or weathered seals, reseal or replace as necessary. Check with your dealer for the type of caulking required
for and correct methods of resealing or replacing.
• Inspect the sealant around the panels to verify that there is adequate bonding around the body panels and exterior
features such as the front storage box/fridge cabinet. This is especially important after an impact/accident to the camper
to ensure the integrity of the body’s resistance to water ingress.
• Regularly check the seals (inner and perimeter) of the camper, to ensure there has been no damage. Ensure your OPUS®
is packed properly on level ground to seal the camper and prevent water ingress. Failure to properly maintain your seals
may be classed as neglect of maintenance and a decrease in coverage under your warranty
• Keep the body and the roof of the camper clean, it is best to clean any mud and dirt off the camper immediately after
every journey to maintain its clean finish.
• Prolonged exposure to mud, dirt and salt may deteriorate the finish of the camper.
• Extended exposure to sunlight, air pollutants and excessive moisture can also negatively impact the finish of the camper.
We recommend regular washing and protection during storage to maximize the lifespan of the finish.
• Inspect the condition of the frame, underbody, suspension and chassis regularly to keep it clean and address any damage
that may lead to rust. This is particularly important when driving during winter when road salts are in use. Always clean
down your trailer fully if you have driven in snow, mud or wet conditions and is road salt use is suspected.
• The body of the camper can be washed with soap and water using a soft sponge. Rinse the camper thoroughly after
washing. A damp cloth may be preferred especially for small spots and dirt. Do not use a pressure washer as this can
damage the finish. Avoid spraying water into vents and seals.
• Specialist products such as ‘Waterless Wash and Shine’ products may be used where/when adequate water is not readily
available. Read and follow the instructions carefully and it is advisable to try any product to be used on the camper on a
small inconspicuous spot to ensure/verify it is suitable before full use.
• Any form of damage or scratch to the paint work or finish of the camper on the body may be repaired or cleaned by using
a suitable ‘touch up’ stick/paint. Contact OPUS® camper directly for further information.
• If your camper has been vinyl wrapped to a custom color care must be taken to prevent peeling of the wrap if a scratch
or tear has occurred on the body panel.
INTERNAL CARE FOR YOUR OP LITE
• All cabinetry in the camper should be kept clean for maximum longevity; stains can be wiped off with a small cloth. A
damp cloth may be all that is required to remove most stains.
• Wipe off any spills and water residue on the units as soon as they occur to prevent damage to them or other features of
the camper such as the electrics.
• AVOID using abrasives including sponge scourers to clean the units as these may cause scratches and
issues with the finish of the units.
