Folding Campers

A folding camper consists of a solid base (the lower half resembles a caravan) with a canvas upper section that folds out to create the living space. The base contains the kitchen, storage, and often bathroom facilities. When you arrive at your pitch, the beds fold out from either end and an integral frame clicks into position to support the canvas overhead. The canvas is then secured, and furniture such as wardrobes, seating, and kitchen equipment is fixed into place.

Modern Opus folding campers have simplified this process dramatically. The patented AIR tube technology replaces all poles - an electric pump inflates the tent canvas in approximately 90 seconds. Combined with Quick Pitch steadies on the ORX model, the entire setup process takes under 10 minutes including making the beds.

Once erected, a folding camper offers genuine caravan-level comfort: fixed double beds raised off the ground, comfortable seating, a kitchen area with hob and sink, and standing headroom throughout. Many models include electric heating, 12V and 240V electrics (when connected to a mains hook-up), and optional extras such as a fridge, microwave, and external cooking station.

For additional space on longer holidays, an awning can be fitted. The Opus AIR awning inflates in the same way as the main tent and adds two extra bedrooms, bringing total sleeping capacity to 10 people - making it a genuine alternative to a large family caravan at a fraction of the weight and cost.
