The OP LITE comes as standard with a Lock’n’Roll articulating hitch. The hitch allows for pivoting on 3 axis and
provides an overall smoother towing experience.
Watch the owner’s how-to video for hitching, breaking and wheels on our website at www.opuscamoer.us
• Ensure the locking pin is fully inserted and se-
cured in place before towing.
• When hitching the OPUS® to your towing vehi-
cle you must ensure that someone is close to the
handbrake in order to maintain control of the trail-
er, particularly when unhitching on uneven ground
or a slope.
• The Lock’n’roll hitch is a two-part hitch with a vehi-
cle-side and a driver side part.
• The vehicle side fits in a 2’’ hitch receiver and
should be locked in place with an appropriate
hitch receiver lock.
• The trailer side is already installed on your OP
LITE.
• To connect the two parts, the trailer side pin arms
should be placed in the receiving section on the
vehicle side part.
• The hook arms then fit over the trailer-side pin
arms and a securing pin is fitted through the holes
in the hook arms and the hole in the main receiv-
ing section on the vehicle side part.
• This will hold the trailer side pin arms in place.
• Use a locking pin on the securing pin to fully lock
the coupling in place.

•
Ensure the clips on the hooks are in place to fully secure the hooks.
•
Do not attach the hooks to the hitch itself.
•
Ensure that you have enough slack in the chains to turn your vehicle adequately.
•
Should you require less slack, the chains can be twisted or crossed below the tongue
before connecting to your vehicle to ensure the chains do not drag on the ground.

The OPUS® is fitted with electric trailer brakes. You need an electric brake controller fitted to your
car in order to tow the OPUS® and operate the electric breaks safely. Failure to tow with a brake
controller in your vehicle is both dangerous and illegal.
You can tell if your brakes are working properly by connecting the 7-pin plug, starting the engine of
the tow vehicle and then getting someone to listen to the brake hub whilst another person applies
the brakes in the tow vehicle. If they are working correctly you will here a low humming sound as
the brakes are applied.

The driver of the tow vehicle must ensure that their Driving License is valid for towing the OPUS® Camper. It is
highly recommended, particularly if you are not experienced in towing that you adhere to any applicable laws for
the state in which you are driving. Many guides are available from leading associations and should be studied
before you embark. Trailer towing laws are different in each state. IMPORTANT: The OP LITE is not designed to
carry cargo on the roof. The recommended load weight for the roof of the OP LITE is 0 lbs.
