That is a serious bit of kit ! You are going to have some amazing adventures in it I am sure, its definitely a go anywhere vehicle. I can't believe your camping spot, truly off grid, and no one else in sight! And that weather! Very jealous! Loved Archie mooching about ❤
Yes, it really makes us look like experienced campers 😂 Archie has such a great time. He was hanging out with the farm dog and also watching the sheep!
Hey guys, thanks for sharing the setup - your camper looks great!. That was such an awesome spot that you camped. We can't imagine you getting the Crusader in there! You'll be able to take the Opus so many places that you couldn't take the caravan. Look forward to your next adventure. Stay safe. See you next time. Corrie & Lyn ❤
Yes it would be a perfect spot to take kids. It’s just outside Bendigo at a place called Maldon. We did do a separate travel video of this place with more details ☺️
Hi, and thank you! My wife and I looked at them a few days ago at the Melbourne showroom... but of course we always think of questions afterwards! Hoping you can help. As older aussies with dickie shoulders, how heavy is the spare wheel to get down and up and do you think a 4' long, rubber tipped "stick" (an arm extension :) ) would help with raising the roof rack/bedding areas? And the loo, is where it is storage only or can it be used in place do you think? I wonder why they don't use a low pressure air storage tank between the water tanks, that way it could be charged while driving and wouldn't take as much battery power to erect/pump up when arrived on site. Looking forward to your input.
Hi Scott. Both the back wheel and top rack are on gas struts, so really not too heavy at all. I’m sure you would be fine. With regards to the portaloo, you can’t use it in the little cupboard as you need to pull the front knob out to open the hole to the tank. If you didn’t want an ensuite tent, and chose the annex with the trailer, another option would be to section off one end of the annex and use that as a loo?

Thanks Corrie and Lyn. Yes definitely a very different experience- we feel very adventurous in the Opus haha 😂
Can’t wait until you guys hit the road…..
At the moment we are doing lots of little trips with a few longer ones here and there… would love to get out permanently again!!
Hey, very helpful video! Where about sis this campsite you are at? Looks like a great spot to take the kids

No thanks.
