The folding camper that destroys campervans for space
If you’ve ever spent time in a campervan, you’ll know the compromise. Clever packaging, yes. True living space? Not so much. Beds that block kitchens. Roofs that drop your head height. And everyone is going to bed at the same time because there’s simply no room to move.
So, what happens when you put a traditional campervan head-to-head with an OPUS® ORX and judge them on one thing alone: space?
This is Space Wars. And it’s not even close.
Inside a campervan: space on someone else’s terms
Step into a campervan and the limitations hit you straight away. The moment you pull down an overhead bed, headroom disappears. Set up the second bed, and the seating area is gone. Try to access the kitchen while someone’s asleep, and the whole layout works against you.
Multi-purpose design is a campervan’s strength, but it can also shape how you use your time. Cooking, relaxing, sleeping and storing gear all fight for the same space. In reality, everyone ends up operating on the same schedule because the van won’t allow anything else.
Campervans do the job, but there is another option where you don’t have to compromise on space.
Inside the OPUS® ORX: space that adapts to you
Walk into the OPUS® ORX, and the difference is immediate. Over 2.5 metres of ceiling height changes the entire feel of the space. You can stand, move, stretch and relax without ducking or shuffling sideways.
There’s a fixed seating area that’s genuinely comfortable for families or groups, without eating into sleeping space. Beds stay beds. Seating stays seating. No nightly rebuild required.
You get two large internal sleeping areas as standard, including a fixed bed that can be extended to king size. Thick mattresses come as standard, and crucially, one or two people can head to bed without disturbing everyone else.
Add the awning, double the living space
The real space advantage comes when you zip on the OPUS® Air Awning. It connects directly to the ORX and inflates using the built-in pump in minutes. No poles. No hand pumping. No faff.
Once up, it effectively doubles your living area. That extra space isn’t just empty floor either. It adds two more bedrooms, meaning the OPUS® ORX can sleep up to ten people in total.
That’s the space a campervan simply cannot create, no matter how clever the layout.
A kitchen that doesn’t compromise living space
Campervan kitchens are usually compact by necessity. The OPUS® ORX takes a different approach with a full slide-out kitchen that lives outside the main living area.
You get a four-burner stainless steel gas stove with windshields, a proper sink, a folding drying rack, generous prep space, a full-size cutlery drawer and LED lighting throughout. It’s a kitchen you actually want to cook on.
Even better, it works in tow mode. Stop at a lay-by or services, slide it out and make a coffee or a bacon sandwich without setting up the camper.
And if you’re worried about cooking outside, don’t be. When you’re fully camped, the awning covers the kitchen area so you can cook comfortably and stay protected, whatever the weather.
Space that works around real life
The biggest difference between a campervan and the OPUS® ORX isn’t just space. It’s how that space works.
In the ORX, people can sleep while others relax. Someone can cook while others move around. Kids can spread out. Gear has a place. Days don’t have to revolve around converting beds and packing things away.
That’s what real space gives you. Freedom.
The verdict
If you want a vehicle that’s compact on the road but genuinely spacious when you arrive, the OPUS® ORX offers a very different way of thinking about space. It delivers the kind of headroom, sleeping capacity and liveable space that campervans simply can’t match.
For anyone weighing up their options, or questioning whether a campervan really is the best answer, the difference becomes clear when you see the ORX in person. You can experience just how spacious it really is at the shows we attend throughout the year.
So the question is simple.
Why wouldn’t you choose the OPUS® ORX?
