Go-anywhere travel trailer pops up for more space

CURBED, 

A new trailer from Opus tows small and then pops and slides to live large

There’s a wide array of options in the world of camper trailers, from iconic “silver bullet” Airstreams to spaceship-like teardrops. But one category of trailers has been picking up steam in the industry: burly, off-road rigs meant for exploring. Love campers and trailers? Come join our community group.

While these off-road trailers can’t compare to the toughest overland trucks, they can tackle a surprising amount of gnarly terrain. The latest off-road trailer to hit the market comes from the innovators at Opus Camper. We’ve reported on Opus in the past, most notably their Air Opus trailer system that includes a pop-up tent that inflates in 90 seconds.

Now, Opus has created their first full-size, hard-sided camper. Called the Opus OP 15, the new trailer blends off-road capabilities with amenities for a family. It’s also expandable, designed with a pop-up top for extra headroom in a way that’s similar to Safari Condo’s Alto R Series trailer. This means that while you’re towing the Opus OP 15, you have a low-roof, compact, 15-foot trailer. But once you get to camp you have plenty of room inside.

The trailer is set up for families thanks to a king-size bed on one side and twin bunk beds on the other. A full bathroom boasts a shower, sink, and chemical toilet, and bamboo shelving allows for plenty of storage space. A leatherette dining area provides a place to sit inside, and on-demand hot water, a heater, and built-in air conditioning come standard.
