ABOUT YOUR COUPLING
The OPUS®comes as standard with a pressed steel coupling suitable for all standard 50mm
tow ball fittings.
If your OPUS®Camper has the optional Winterhoff 3000 or iSC stabiliser hitching coupling then your
tow vehicle should be fitted with either an extended neck flange tow ball or any form of detachable
‘swan-neck’ tow ball would be suitable.
IMPORTANT! ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING SAFE USE AND STABILISING
FUNCTION OF THE COUPLING MUST BE ADHERED TO.
If you have a locking coupling it must be unlocked to enable
hitching and unhitching of the Camper. A security ball is
provided for securing the Camper when unhitched from a
tow vehicle.
The Full Stop Saracen Hitch Lock (optional extra) will provide
additional security to your Camper).
ABOUT YOUR PLUG
The OPUS®is fitted with a 13-pin plug that connects all the
exterior trailer lighting as well as the connections that
enable the leisure battery of the OPUS® to be charged by
your vehicle whilst in transit. This connection also allows the
fridge (optional extra) to operate a cooling function whilst
towing using the 12v socket in the cupboard directly
underneath the fridge, which is wired directly to the 13-pin
plug, bypassing the Camper’s 12v electrical circuit.

A standard black 7-pin socket on your tow vehicle will be suitable
to operate the essential running lights by using an adapter that
converts the 13-pin plug into a 7-pin type.
However to utilise the features of the 13-pin plug then your vehicle
should be fitted with ‘twin’ electrics. These comprise of a black
7-pin and a grey 7-pin socket; an adapter will be required that
connects the 13-pin plug of the OPUS® to the twin sockets on
your vehicle. Of course, your vehicle may already have one single
13-pin socket that does not require any form of adapter and is
the ideal method of connection.
ABOUT HITCHING
1. When hitching the OPUS®Camper to your vehicles tow ball you must ensure that someone is
close to the handbrake in order to maintain control of the trailer, particularly when manoeuvring
on a slope.
2. Steadily guide the coupling of the OPUS®to the vehicles tow
ball. If necessary, raise the front of the OPUS®so that the coupling
is higher than the tow ball by turning the handle on the jockey
wheel.
Note: Please refer to the seperate BPW guide to the jockey wheel
fitted to your OPUS®for safe and correct usage.
The frame of the Camper is designed to aid pushing/handling of
the trailer comfortably. The grab handles may be used to aid
manoeuvring but MUST NEVER be used to pull the full weight
of the Camper.
3. Position the coupling over the tow ball and lower it by turning the jockey wheel handle and, at
the same time lifting the coupling handle up. When fully engaged onto the ball you will be able to
release the coupling handle.
If you have a locking coupling the coupling will need to be unlocked and the security ball removed
to perform the step above.
If your trailer is fitted with a stabiliser coupling ensure the handle is engaged into the correct
position to use the stabilising feature. The tow ball may also need to be inspected to ensure the
stabiliser pad has an adequate grip on the tow ball.
Note: Full instructions on the Winterhoff WS3000/iSC coupling are supplied in a separate manual;
please reference the correct and safe use and retain for future reference.
4. Fit the breakaway cable around the neck of the tow ball or through a suitable aperture on the
tow bar itself. Ensure it doesn’t foul on the coupling or any other nearby objects such as the trailer
lighting cable.
5. Raise the jockey wheel by turning the handle on the top until the wheel engages into the cut
grooves on either side of the tube.
6. Loosen the jockey wheel clamp by turning the handle anti-clockwise and pull the jockey wheel
up to provide the maximum ground clearance ensuring the wheel is pointing towards the rear of
the OPUS®. Tighten the jockey wheel clamp.
7. Connect the 13-pin plug into the socket (using adapter if required) on your tow vehicle.
8. Release the handbrake if still engaged.
9. Before any journey you must check that all the trailer lights are functioning correctly.
Check front marker lights, sidelights, brake lights, and both directional indicators. If you are using
either a 13-pin plug to 13-pin socket, or a 13-pin plug to twin 7-pin plugs you should also check
the reversing light and fog lights.
ABOUT UNHITCHING
Engage the handbrake. Release and secure the jockey wheel and tube to a lower position, wind
the jockey wheel down until it touches the floor and starts to support the weight of the Camper.
Some weight relief on the tow ball will be observed. The handle of the coupling can be lifted to
release the coupling from the tow ball. Continue to wind the jockey wheel until the coupling is
clear of the tow ball. Then disconnect the 13-pin plug and the breakaway cable.
When you are ready disengage the handbrake; the trailer can now be manoeuvred separately
from the tow vehicle.
LOAD CARRYING
It is the responsibility of the driver of the tow vehicle to ensure that any loads, such as bicycles,
roof boxes, kayaks, etc. are suitably secure prior to transit.
The Maximum Technically Permissible Laden Mass (MTPLM) must not be exceeded under any
circumstances.
SENSIBLE LOADING
Items loaded onto the top of the OPUS®should be mounted so that the heaviest items are towards
the front of the Camper.
