Opus Campers: Now in SA

#1

Post by Mad Manny »

I see Opus Campers are now in SA.

If you watch 4WD24-7 you notice they often took an Opus camper with them.

So I was surprised to learn the Opus is NOT Australian, the company is from Constable County Suffolk, in England.

Anyhoo, they are now here....

Interesting. I also thought that they were an Australian company. The way those 24h guys make out it's development was all done there with their help.

These have been around about 2 years in SA, but not been marketed very well.

Suppose the importer did a sh1t job.

Just like Mitsu marketing.....

I lost interest when I tried to find budget pricing on the website.

At least in the UK the prices are shown on the .co.uk website, starting at an eye watering £18,995.

Maybe I will take a day trip there someday….
