Communication, customer service and cost were all good.
After a communication issue, Kelvin was fantastic to meet and deal with, i will not hesitate to contact in the future for spare parts
Excellent service from Jess. Helpful and considerate through the entire process.
Fantastic experience with Opus Campers from start to finish.

We’ve just purchased our Opus camper and couldn’t be happier, not just with the camper itself, but especially with the service. The team were knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful throughout the whole process.

The handover was excellent: thorough, un-rushed, and explained in a way that actually made sense. Every question was answered and we left feeling confident and excited to get out camping straight away.

It’s refreshing to deal with a company that clearly cares about their product and their customers. Highly recommend Opus Campers if you’re looking for quality gear backed by great service.
Jess was simply brilliant she explained things and made sure l understood by doing it myself
I never felt rushed or stupid l have not had such an enjoyable experience with a purchase for a long time and thats thanks to jess and her patients with me today
I will be recommending Opus and your services to any one that wants to listen
Thanks again

Paul and the team from keysborough opus showroom went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything and helped me to set up the brake controller smooth as silk. Paul you’re a legend thanks heaps mate.
We picked up our new OPUS camper yesterday and we're honestly so happy with it. The quality is excellent and you can tell a lot of care goes into how it's built. The team were great, patient, friendly, and made sure we understood how everything worked before we hit the road. The setup is quick, materials feel really solid, and it's got everything you need without being over the top. Such a smooth experience from start to finish. Highly recommend OPUS if you're looking for a well-made, easy-to-use camper trailer.
Just bought the OPUS 4 TLX after a few weeks and countless revisions to the quote. George (Burpengary Qld) was awesome to deal with, he revised the quote immediately each time I wanted something changed and kept throwing in sweeteners to make the deal compelling.

George also kept back a camper for an extra day to show my family, before taking it to the Brisbane Camping show.

I have no doubt the delivery experience will be just as sweet. Thanks George.
Really smooth handover
Highly recommend Opus camper Adelaide, we purchased an op15 , great hybrid and great value.
