Camper Trailers
Unless stated otherwise, trailers are covered by a 12 month limited manufacturer’s warranty from the original date of purchase.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure
OPUS® Campers are designed for use on any road or track that is trafficable to normal four-wheel-drive vehicles.
OPUS® Campers can be exposed to water crossings where the water is below body floor level, but never where the water is at, or above, body floor level.
The following items are not covered under the OPUS® warranty:
- Impact or stone damage to body, chassis or running gear
- Soiling of fabrics and internal fitments from dust and other airborne substances
- Water damage due to water crossings
- Movement or damage caused by dislodgment of appliances and fittings resulting from hard impact or heavy landings or severely rutted roads or tracks

OPUS® includes equipment and fittings, such as accessory brand cookers or pumps, which are separately warranted by their manufacturer and not covered by the OPUS® Warranty. If necessary, OPUS® will help an owner make a warranty claim to these manufacturers.
In addition to the express OPUS® warranty, the consumer may also be covered by other rights and remedies of the Australian Consumer Law in relation to the goods and or services to which this warranty relates.
Tents
Tents are guaranteed to be in new merchantable condition at the time of purchase. A limited manufacturer’s warranty period of 6 months applies to OPUS® canvas components, poles and fittings, air beams and valves. General wear and tear excepted. Zips and mesh or screens are not covered.
Factory Seconds, Ex-Demonstration and Damaged Goods
From time to time, OPUS® may offer for sale items deemed to be “factory seconds”, “ex-demonstration”, or “damaged”. Any such items are sold on an “as is” basis.
There are no warranties, refunds, credits, exchanges or similar associated with such items. In the sale of such items, OPUS® will attempt to provide all relevant information regarding the item, including faults, defects, or similar, however, there may be instances where minor defects or imperfections have been overlooked. This is purely unintentional and in no way alters the nature of the sale.
Due to the nature of such items, being “ex-demonstration”, “factory seconds” or “damaged”, it is reasonable to expect that some imperfections or flaws may exist even where it is not initially apparent. By purchasing such an item, you agree to this statement and accept that there are no warranties implied or expressed.
Goods Bought at Auction
From time to time, OPUS®, may offer items for auction, either independently or via a third party. Whilst every effort will be made to provide all relevant information regarding the item on auction, as per Australian law, any goods bought at auction subsequently do not carry any statutory warranty. Goods sold at auction, by or on behalf of OPUS®, shall carry no warranty unless specifically stated in writing.
