If your going to the Motorhome & caravan show be sure to visit the Opus Camper stand hall 18 24a to see a new folding camper it's something refreshingly different.

Have a sneak at their website

I was also taken with the Holtkamper quailty.

So much to see & no available funds

Very interesting Pie*face, and as you said, 'refreshingly different,' 

Did you get to see it's price tag ?

Hopefully someone going to the show today will give the exact figure, but I thought they were £10500 or maybe  £10900.

The refreshing difference for me apart from the overall design of the unit was it's build technique.

The body is a welded aluminium frame with composite infill panels and the hinged solid Beds/trailer lids were again aluminium frame allowing bike racks etc to be fitted. Strong, but light.

At 700kg unladen the unit is lighter than any comparable Pennine model and gave a 400kg payload.

Nice to see something different at a reasonable-ish price. Payload of 400kg is great and ability to put racks on to carry bikes etc is a huge plus point for families. Most medium family cars can tow 1100kg no problem. Also lower and narrower than the larger Pennines. Larger cars may not need towing mirrors and will be able to see over the lid

No onboard toilet and smallish looking awning if zip is anything to go by. Also not sure about aluminium for cold camping (condensation?) but should sort out any damp issues  worries for the hard body

Some US ones are made this way I believe and can literally be hosed out so easy to clean. For thos who don't want the "luxury" of  Pennine interiors these may be good alternatives. I'd be interested but not sure OH would be!

The £10,000 ish price tag is average, but adding on all OPUS's extras (including the leather settee,) would put its price up quite a bit.  

When we bought our FC from Pennine the awning, alloy wheels, fridge and extra bed etc came withinin the price tag not as added on extras. (can't believe you have to pay for the extra bed, and how does one get to it with the big settee in the way ? )

Still quite like it though, and would love to try it out.
