Opus Unveils Expedition Series: Mid-Sized Off-Grid Hybrid Caravans

The Expedition range includes both 16ft couples' and 17ft family models, available in two configurations: the Expedition Pro and Expedition Max. Buyers can choose between pop-top ($67,500 plus on-road costs) and fixed hardtop roof ($69,990 plus on-road costs) variants, catering to different preferences and needs.

These new models are built to accommodate the needs of modern travellers seeking off-grid capabilities without sacrificing comfort. The Expedition hybrids feature a robust integrated Renogy power system, comprising a 600Ah lithium battery pack, a 3000W inverter, a 50A DC to DC charger, and 800W of rooftop solar panels. This setup ensures ample power supply for extended off-grid adventures.

In terms of design, the Expedition hybrids boast a sturdy A-frame and a full-width toolbox at the front, providing additional storage space. The rear features a substantial platform bar equipped with two jerry cans, a spare wheel, and a wood box on top, enhancing the caravan's utility. Underneath, a reinforced trailing arm independent suspension system with twin Pedders shocks ensures a smooth ride across various terrains.

Opus's decision to introduce the Expedition series reflects a strategic shift to meet the evolving preferences of Australian caravan buyers. By offering mid-sized hybrids that balance off-grid capabilities with user-friendly features, Opus aims to provide a compelling option for those seeking adventure without compromising on comfort.
