• AVOID placing hot objects/containers (cups/saucepans etc.) on the units directly; use a suitable mat/cover to prevent
marking the surfaces of the units.
• The cushions in your OPUS® camper are durable and simply require proper care and use.
• Clean off stains and dirt on the cushions as soon as they occur; this can easily be done using a damp cloth. Avoid soaking
the cushions or prolonged exposure to water and ensure they are thoroughly dry before packing the camper.
• Vacuum the cushions (and the trailer) regularly or as often as needed depending on level of use. Pay extra attention to
the trims as these may contain some dirt or undesirable items.
• AVOID stepping on the cushions with shoes or placing dirty items on them.
• Condensation is caused by warm, moist air coming into contact with cold surfaces. Moisture can be introduced into
your OP2 from the shower, warm bodies breathing out water vapor and perspiring in an enclosed, sealed space. If
condensation is left unaddressed for long periods it can lead to mold
• Be sure to check all water pipes, joints and fittings regularly for signs of leaks or seal failure. Water leaks can cause major
damage inside your OP2. This also extends to all exterior joints and pipes. or damp which can be damaging to your
health.
IMPORTANT! THE OPUS® CAMPER MUST NOT BE STORED WET/DAMP
• Pack down the trailer correctly and ensure nothing is out of place e.g. no canvas outside of the trailer, all windows and
skylights are closed, all rubber gasket seals for storage compartments are intact and storage compartments are fully
closed.
• Ensure the dust guards over the propane and water quick connects are cleaned periodically after every trip and at least
once a year. Also make sure the dust guards are used when the hoses are not inserted.
• It is strongly advised that you use a storage cover for your OP2 if it is to be stored in an uncovered location. The OPUS
storage cover provided with your camper is engineered for the OP2 specficially to ensure all features are protected. The
storage cover is advised for an extended period of storage to keep your camper in pristine condition. Storage under a
protective shelter is recommended.
• Clean off dirt and grime on the unit from travelling/terrain to keep your camper in good condition and maximize its
longevity.
• Regular battery maintenance checks will prolong the life of your battery—see below section on maintaining your
batteries during storage.
• Ensure the water tanks are emptied after use, and contain no liquids if being stored—see below section on water tank
maintenance for further information.
• Store on a level surface, turn off all electrical switches and appliances, cover exterior appliance vents to prevent moisture
and insects from entering during storage. Storage on unlevel ground can prevent proper drainage windows and seals
leading to water ingress and potential mold or condensation issues.
• Check the interior of the camper periodically to be sure leaks have not developed or that condensation has not formed,
causing damage to interior components. To reduce the possibility of condensation, air out the OP2 occasionally during
storage.
• Keep the roof free from snow and ice. Check it periodically and after a heavy snowfall.
We have spec’d the Opus so you have the ability to leave your Opus plugged in without the need to remove the 30ah cable.
We have done this for easy battery maintainence and care to protect your batteries from being completely depleted over
long periods of storage which can cause your batteries to degrade faster. Our advice for simplicity of use would be to leave
the camper plugged in, NOCO advertises that this is acceptable practice. I Please follow these steps for proper battery care
during periods of storage if you are NOT leaving your OP2 plugged into shore power during storage.
1. Completely charge the battery before storage
2. Store the battery in a cool, dry location. Heat is a battery killer. Do not forget to completely remove all
loads from the battery (turn off your battery disconnect or remove the connection to your battery post).
3. Monitor the specific gravity or voltage. Once below 70% charge, give it a boost charge.
4. Completely recharge the battery before putting back in service.
5. Equalize the battery before putting back in service.
Following the above would mean that you need to disconnect the batteries entirely from your system, this would result in
the Air Compressor not operating after winter storage; you would therefore need to manually inflate the tent for your first
use.
