EXTERNAL CARE FOR YOUR OP4
• Closer and more thorough inspecon of your OPUS exterior will be required aer extended trips and a higher amount
of tough, o-road runs. 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 nd missing, damaged, dry, cracked or weathered seals, reseal or replace as necessary by
contacng your purchasing dealership. 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 aer 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 result in 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 o the camper immediately aer
every journey to maintain its clean nish.
• Prolonged exposure to mud, dirt and salt may deteriorate the nish of the camper.

We recommend regular washing and protecon during storage to maximize the lifespan of the nish.
• Inspect the condion of the frame, under-body, suspension and chassis regularly to keep it clean and address any damage
that may lead to rust. This is parcularly important to complete aer each tough o-roading run or 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 condions
and is road salt use is suspected.
• The body of the camper can be washed with soap and water using a so sponge. Rinse the camper thoroughly aer
washing. A damp cloth may be preferred especially for small spots and dirt. Do not use a pressure washer as this can
damage the nish. 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 instrucons 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.
