2020 Opus OP2

Thanks for the videos- I’m heavily considering an OP4 for my wife and two kids (4.5 and 1.5). I’m a little nervous about tent noise in windy conditions, as my wife is very sensitive to noise when sleeping. I’m looking for something that can go on trails with us, and a hard side camper would be awesome, but there aren’t many with the size and features of the OP4. Let me know what you think of yours!
My RTT was far noisier in the wind. I am slighy nitpicky about the inside cabinets' construction but my complaints are minor. It is hands down the best trailer I have ever towed. I added a 140W solar panel and an inverter. I can stay off grid as long as the food holds out.
Yes, but I am building a new one.

Building a new one as in a new trailer from scratch? I'm anxious to hear more of your thoughts about the OP2 and your future plans.
I loved my Opus. There were 2 deal breakers plus a few other wants that don't currently exist in a trailer that is off road worthy and pullable by my Jeep.
1. Zero set up time.
2. Roadside use of the bathroom
Other stuff...inside or outside cooking
No condensation
Easy to heat
Enclosed water tank
Eleventy billion AH of power
I have a build thread here. Frame is done. Starting to take shape.
Would you link your build thread. Thanks.
Building a fully enclosed Overland trailer to be towed by a Jeep
OK, so.. .back ground: I did 3 complete laps of the US in 2020 all while pulling and camping in my Opus trailer both on and off the grid. From the swamps of Florida to the beach in Texas, AZ and UT deserts, the Enchanted Rockies Trail in NM, SW Colorado and all the way up the Pacific Coast. . .I...

I have an OP4 and there are two heater options - the heater by itself and the heater/AC combo. I have the heater by itself which I hear is much better than the combo unit. It does great in the 30s-40s.
I last used it when the temps were in that range at night. Kept the heater at about the mid-heat setting and slept great through the night without having to bundle up. I'd say it felt like it was in the upper 40s inside the trailer.
