    New "Opera" Camper... Fabulous!

    This product shows just how far behind the local camper trailer industry is in terms of design... even the top names are still derivatives of the horse and buggy era by comparison. According to the press it's about $55 thou in A dollars (Euro 33 thou). Shows what can be done with a bit of flair.

    I want one!!

    Opera offers freedom in nature with 100 percent luxury

    ... and a truckload of cash !


    It looks swish but anyway with a bit of height to them would hit their head on the canvas when standing at the sink etc. i reckon not as good in practice as it looks.

    Also if you get a tear in that canvas god help you !
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    That would have to be the ugliest waste of fibreglass and canvas i have ever seen, i would truly be embarrassed to roll into a campsite and set that up.

    I will never agree with the imported is best mentality and that just sealed my point, there are hundreds of designs of locally built campers and plenty that are more practical than that mobile Chapel St monstrosity.

    A nerw Jayco camper van with the works is about 35 K.
    the weight is the same and sleep four.
    the specs are wrong for aust ....like the too small water tank.
    the set up if up look carefully is not what it seems .
    I currenty run a jayco outback hawk running 220 watts of solar, electric/gas 22 litre hot water with a out side toilet and shower under a quick set up fiama orning,180 litres of water, inverter,high ground clearence,independant suspension,acess inside and out to the storage area,electric/ gas stove,quick set up , twin gas bottles,two jerry cans,same weight,and less canvas,more inside space,and folded up size is about the same.
    the cold weather heater is a stove burner left on ....simple
    That opera thing only beats the aussie stuff in electric gizzmos and build quailty.
    option up a aussie corrimal, gold stream or jayco.......lest money and better suited to our conditions.

    Swanky, but looks quite impractical for Australia and I would be embarrassed setting that thing up!

    I'm sure it would do nicely in the manicured holiday parks of Europe, but I somehow don't think it is suited to a week at say... Ball Park in Corowa.

    Hey 101Ron

    Did you fit the independant suspension your self, I didn't think Jayco's came out with it.

    I would be interested in your mod's ! Photo's ?

    Love the design but for $80K (E40K) I think most Australians would want a hard roof and more than two single beds..... and air conditioning, and a full ensuite, and a full size kitchen, and storage for their trail bikes, and a boat rack, and a full annexe, and solar cells, and bowling alley, and indoor ice rink, and 50" flat screen TV, and satellite broadband and so on...
