Sort of. For tents if they say 4 man, that is like a 2 man for most people. A 3 man for us. We like sleeping close. But, with this layout you do get a bed on each end of the camper. So if you need your space unlike a tent I would say this one would be more like sleeps 4 .

Back in the 70s Dad bought a used COX camper that opened-up from the center (left and right) creating the dome shape. We actually did, our family of 6 + Granny, camp in it for 3 weeks from Florida all the way out to Yellowstone. It was 1972 to be exact. One of us kids always had to sleep on the floor, however. That is what this design reminded me of.

However, years later those same people, including me, have come to find that the owners love them and seem to not be having any issues. I was excited to get this video out. Because it typically draws out the owners. I am really interested to hear their thoughts.

What I like about wander tears isn’t so much that they have a specific teardrop, but they are more of a husband/wife team that are helping the DIY teardrop community. They sell plans, they sell just the frame, or they can build one entirely for a customer. I don’t think there is another company like that around.

I think the point that a lot of the commenters here have missed is that this line of campers is designed specifically for off-road, "back country" camping. Provided you have a properly capable tow vehicle you can take these campers to places that a regular camper would be destroyed attempting to access. If all you plan to do is camp at campgrounds like 99% of people do, this is over-kill and a less expensive camper would work fine. This is actually one of the less expensive special built off road campers on the market currently.

Width people. WIDTH. My family couldn't wait to find one of these in our market geared for us. Love the design, love the look, love the opening sides, love the (extremely expensive) accessories, BUT, BUT, BUT... the beds are absolutely tiny, *especially* in the inflatable version (the massive airpoles exacerbate the original narrow design). Even my 5'4" wife had to sleep at an angle, curl up or crank her head. My 6' son? Not a chance. They (of course) make a "King Bed" extension that you can get to sort of address this issue, but then you're dangling your feet into the dinette. Was a total bummer. Went to the new dealer expecting to hitch one up and drive it home. Nope. Sleeps 6? Yeah, sleeps a family of six 5'ers. Bought an Aliner Somerset instead. No regrets.

And basically give us all the advantages of a truck (in terms of the camper being used as a truck bed). And I like that in theory you wouldn't have to necessarily remove all the extra toys to sleep. You could still tip out those beds and work around the gear if needed during an unplanned road side stop or campsite. Thank you for sharing this.

Like the small size and it's probably light enough even a regular sized car can probably pull it (or a small SUV even) but for that money though I think you could buy a fully-enclosed hard shelled camper (not as easy to store, but it would be insulated better both from noise and weather. I mean this is probably a 3 season camper, and would be fine for spring through fall camping, but again, for $30k I think you can get a bit more, but it is an interesting idea (basically a modified version of the typical pop-up trailer and better than those A-liner type trailers).

Dope trailers. Holy smokes they are expensive compared to just a couple years ago.

These pop ups are all fine and good, they’re like a Swiss Army knife on wheels, but to me it’s too much to deal with. I am looking for mobile living, but not ‘camping’ in the sense of a van lifer. Not bad rigs though.

There are places in BC's far north, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Alaska that I have been where too many people don't take care of food storage, garbage, etc and bears have become habituated such that they require soft sided anything to camp inside electric fencing. Years ago, from a tent, I watched a sow and yearling cubs rip a bumper pull trailer apart. When the guy came back to his camp we found out the only food in the trailer was an unopened box of Wagon Wheels. (Wagon Wheels are what Moon Pies want to be when they grow up.)

I was just going to ask about the Wagon Wheels. Glad you elaborated. I wasn't sure if I wanted to mention this, but your post goes in line with a thought I had. I haven't had too many issues with bears consuming my goods. But, I do have one common thing they do like and that seems to be my self inflating sleeping mats (therma-rest). I have a friend who guides and sells inflatable rafts and kayaks. He has mentioned folks from the lower 48 purchasing a new raft. Flying it out to the bush and having it dropped at a base camp. To later find the boat completely shredded from a Brown Bear. I can't help but think my thermarests and these boats have something in common. The guide has never had these issues with older boats. Meaning it probably has to do with the glue on the seams or the off gassing from the material used to build the boat. Okay, Drew get to the point...Well I think if I had this camper I would definitely make sure to air it up and down quite a few times and do some test camping runs before taking it into bear country. Just a thought. Would I take it in bear country. Absolutely. But, Alaskans are a bit funny like that. There are quite a few pop ups running around in the north.

You gotta to be kiddin me on the OPUS inflatable camper. Just by unlatching the clips takes more than 90 seconds. Takes brute strength to setup up the heavy tarp tent and a lot of flexing and bending when inflating or deflating it. Sometimes you got to go to the small entry to push the tent up from the inside so the air pressure can flow better. That's why you bring your wife. This is a waste of money. The SYLVAN GO which is 10 years older than this is way to easy and functional. And it deflates throughout the day so you keep on checking the air pressure.

Pain to set up and take down, can't heat or cool them. Leak in the rain, everything stays damp in humid areas and if you have to take it down when it's wet, you have to set it up again when you get home and wait for a sunny day to dry it out before you put it away again.

Yeaaaaah ....Wellllll ..... Our experience was the opposite and we camped in Upper Michigan and Canada - not PNW wet, but really not hot and dry. We tent camped for years in bigger and bigger tents - family of 5. Nothing worse than setting up, taking down, or packing a big canvas tent in the rain, and sleeping on missed sticks and rocks! Then we got the Coleman popup. It was like heaven. Cushy beds. Fridge instead of veggies floating in meat water. 5 minutes up or down in the rain. Play board games, cook, and eat while it rained. I never saw a leak. Warm and toasty summer camping. Fantastic. We found fast setup and takedown allowed us to move between campgrounds more often and explored more when we got bored or it rained too long. So it was much better than a big canvas tent with less of a tent's problems.

My opus has a heater, hot water heater, fridge, batteries to power lights, fans, cpap. Way more then a tent on wheels.

Thanks!

Thank you so much Nisha! Very, very, very much appreciated.

Slide out kitchen. Might as well take the bath tub and toilet too😂

Can you send me info on the Opus 2 ? And where are you located ? Thank you ***

Shut up! Love it

This is the camper from A Goofy Movie… minus the bowling lane.

All I need is that pump system to pop up the “tent” and an ac!

I wonder how this would handle 40 or 45 mph winds?

The music sounds like a ripped of version of “we move lightly” by Dustin O’Hallerhan

As an aussie i'd like to just laugh at the thread on the leveling jacks annoying you. Thats how i feel on 99% of things designed in America(most things)

Nice. Awning over the cooking area?

Fit in garages!!!

0:45 is first mention of name of camper. No mention in title or below the video. No links to trailer, just amazon and other youtube. Just a FYI
