Staying cool in your OPUS® Camper this summer
With another UK heatwave forecast and temperatures expected to climb once again, here are some simple tips and guidance to help you stay cool and get the most out of your OPUS® Camper.
Keep an eye on the AIR tubes in hot weather
Hot weather causes the air inside your inflatable tent to expand, increasing the pressure on the beams and seams. Monitor the firmness of your beams throughout the day and manually release pressure by briefly pressing the valve if needed.
Opening doors, mesh panels and vents will help improve airflow through the tent, lowering the ambient temperature inside and reducing stress on the fabric.
As temperatures drop in the evening, the air will contract. Be prepared to top the air back up before bed so your camper maintains its structural integrity overnight.
Now let’s look at how you can make the most of the features in your OPUS® Camper to stay comfortable in the heat.
One of the standout features of every OPUS® Camper is the panoramic windows. Not only do they fill the living space with natural light and give you fantastic views of your surroundings, but they’re also designed with comfort in mind.
Each panoramic window features three layers: a privacy layer, a clear PVC layer and a mesh layer. On those scorching summer days, simply unzip to the mesh layer to allow plenty of fresh air to flow through the camper while helping to keep unwanted insects outside where they belong.
Looking to let even more fresh air in? Don’t forget that you can remove the front panels on your OPUS® Camper, opening up the living area even further and creating the perfect space to relax while enjoying the summer sunshine.
It’s also the perfect time to make the most of the OPUS® AIR Sun Canopy. Featuring single-point inflation and using the same AIR technology as your camper, it offers a large covered space that’s ideal for short stays when the full awning isn’t needed. It provides reliable shelter from both sun and rain, giving you a comfortable outdoor area to relax in whatever the weather.

And one final reminder… yes, your OPUS® comes equipped with a built-in 2kW heater with both 1kW and 2kW heat settings to keep you warm on those chilly camping trips… but maybe give it a well-earned rest during this heatwave! It’ll be ready to make your camper cosy again when the cooler evenings return.
Most importantly, stay safe while you’re away. Keep well hydrated, seek shade during the hottest part of the day where possible, and look out for your fellow campers.
Happy camping, and enjoy the sunshine! ☀️
