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 centre.
Detailed information on the servicing and maintenance of the BPW chassis fitted to your OPUS ® is
available at: www.bpw.co.uk/download
The applicable manual is titled ‘BPW Maintenance and Operational Instructions - Light Trailer range
550kg-3500kg’
CARING FOR YOUR CANVAS
The tent of your OPUS ® is made from poly-cotton, a canvas type material. This has many benefits as it
is breathable and results in a cooler interior in warm/hot weather and a warmer interior when in use in
cooler weather conditions.
In order for the OPUS ® to give you years of camping pleasure, the tent section needs to be cared
for and MUST NOT be left wet/damp when packed away.
It is, of course unavoidable at times that you will have to pack down your OPUS
®
when the canvas
is wet. It is very important that the OPUS
®
is opened up to dry off as soon as possible and should
be done within 24 hours.
It is possible, due to the nature of the canvas that there may be a small amount of water ingress
during the first few uses in wet weather; this is normal as the tent goes through ‘weathering’ or
‘conditioning’. If this persists, please notify us as soon as possible. Please refer to ‘Water Ingress’
under ‘Troubleshooting’ Page 42.
•
Except for the supplied gas hob, do not use an open flame or gas appliance inside the OPUS ®
and do not subject the tent to fire.
•
Maintain adequate ventilation in the Camper at all times, especially when sleeping.
•
Allow condensation to clear and dry before packing/storing the Camper.
•
Regularly check the seams of the tent and if required apply some seam sealer such as Kampa
Seam Sealer or suitable alternative (Page 35). Follow the products instructions and allow to fully
dry before packing.
•
Regularly check the velcro straps and seams, along with the clips on the inner tents.
•
Never force the zips of the tent to open or close; inspect for any issues and rectify as necessary.
•
Ensure the zips are used and cared for properly, if needed a zip lubricant can be used to allow
for smooth operation.
• Regularly inspect the tent for holes, rips/tears and damages and have a suitable tent repair kit
for use in emergencies.
•
Ensure the awning beading is situated centrally and within the awning channel rails before
fully tensioning the Camper tent.
