About Opus Camper
Opus Camper is a British folding camper manufacturer based in rural Suffolk, part of Purple Line - caravan accessory designers founded in 2002. Every Opus is assembled by hand in Suffolk to individual customer specifications and carries the Made in Britain certification.
Opus holds UK Patent GB 2500946 for their AIR tube technology - a patented system that inflates the entire tent canvas in approximately 90 seconds using air tubes, completely eliminating traditional poles. The AIR system launched in 2017 and is standard across all current models. Three simple steps: unfold the base, connect the pump, inflate. Camp-ready in under 10 minutes including beds and furniture.
All Opus folding campers feature aluminium external frames with polycarbonate insulated panels, built-in double beds with 400 kg load capacity each, plush leatherette seating, and a fully functional kitchenette. The range spans from the lightweight All Road (800 kg, towable by any car) through the rugged Off Road to the fully-equipped flagship ORX with its XL slide-out kitchen and 80-litre water storage.
Opus gained national attention when featured on BBC's The Apprentice in 2013. The brand has since grown into the UK's leading folding camper manufacturer, with a network of authorised dealers including Black Country Caravans.
Construction & materials
How Opus folding campers are built
All Opus folding campers share a common construction philosophy: aluminium external frame with polycarbonate insulated panels forming the solid base unit. When closed, the low-profile design (120-140 cm towing height depending on model) reduces wind resistance and improves fuel economy compared to a caravan.
The patented AIR tube system replaces traditional tent poles. Durable, high-pressure air tubes are sewn into the canvas and inflate via an electric pump in approximately 90 seconds. The tubes are individually replaceable and field-repairable. The canvas itself uses robust, UV-resistant fabric with large windows and skylights for natural light.
The Off Road and ORX models add independent spring suspension, all-terrain 215/65 R16 tyres, increased ground clearance, and a mesh-covered stone guard for protection from debris. The ORX further adds 80 litres of on-board water storage and an XL slide-out stainless steel kitchen.
All models offer multiple MTPLM chassis options, allowing customers to select a weight configuration that matches both their payload needs and driving licence category. The lightest All Road configuration (900 kg MTPLM) is towable on any standard UK car driving licence.

Opus models
Opus All Road
EntryThe Opus All Road is a lightweight, versatile folding camper designed for camping, festivals, and family holidays. Weighing just 800 kg, it can be towed by virtually any car on a standard UK driving licence. The patented AIR tube technology inflates the tent in approximately 90 seconds - no poles to assemble. Two fixed double beds (190 x 140 cm) with 400 kg load capacity each, plush leatherette seating, and a fully functional kitchenette with stainless steel sink and 2-burner hob are included as standard. The compact closed profile (120 cm towing height) gives excellent rear visibility and fuel economy while towing. Four MTPLM chassis options (900-1,500 kg) let you choose the right balance of payload and licence category.
Opus Off Road
Mid-rangeThe Opus Off Road is built for exploring beyond the campsite. A purpose-built off-road chassis with independent spring suspension, all-terrain 215/65 R16 tyres, increased ground clearance, and a mesh-covered stone guard means it can handle rough tracks, farm fields, and unmade roads that would stop a conventional trailer. Despite the rugged credentials, the Off Road retains the same patented AIR tube technology for quick setup, two fixed double beds (190 x 140 cm), leatherette seating, and full kitchenette. Finished in Midnight Black. Three MTPLM chassis options (1,250-1,750 kg) provide generous payload for longer off-grid trips.
Opus ORX
FlagshipThe Opus ORX is the most fully-equipped self-inflating folding camper Opus has ever produced. Built for serious overlanding and off-grid adventures, it features a purpose-built off-road chassis with all-terrain tyres, 80 litres of on-board water storage, and dual gas canister storage for extended self-sufficiency. The XL slide-out stainless steel kitchen - with 4-burner hob, sink, drying rack, and prep area - remains accessible even while the camper is hitched, making roadside cooking stops easy. A king-size mattress extension comes standard. Quick Pitch corner steadies and leg supports, combined with the patented AIR tube technology, get you camp-ready faster than any competitor. The ORX also includes a built-in entertainment system and roof rack as standard.
