Opus Camper opens pre-orders for Cirro, a 500 kg self-inflating hybrid camper at £13,500

Opus Camper has opened pre-orders for the Cirro, a self-inflating hybrid camper priced at around £13,500, with delivery expected in early 2027. Autoevolution reported the launch, which follows showings at the 2026 Dusseldorf Caravan Salon and the 2026 NEC Caravan in Birmingham.

What the Opus Cirro Offers Campers

The Opus Camper Cirro is the smallest and lightest model in the company's range. It weighs 500 kg empty, has a maximum permissible weight of 750 kg and measures just over 3.5 meters from the drawbar to the rear, with a width of 1.8 meters. It rides on a single-axle chassis that can be ordered braked or unbraked.

At camp, the clamshell lid opens onto support legs and becomes the suspended base of a bedroom with a bed larger than a standard king. The upper section is technical cotton canvas that inflates using two pumps powered by twin 3000mAh OPUS Blow Bank batteries built into the air tube structure. Opus says complete setup takes "under 10 minutes." The expanded camper is 4.6 meters long with 2 meters of interior height.

The Cirro targets the occasional camper who drives an electric vehicle or a compact car and may be upgrading from a tent. It sleeps two, with room for up to six if extra kit is added. A Comfort Package priced at around £15,000 adds graphite alloy wheels, a 180-liter metal storage box, a 35-liter compressor fridge, a spare tire, sideskirts, a windbreak kit and upgraded upholstery. The trailer is also compatible with the older Air Sun canopy or a full awning kit.

Opus Camper's Product Line and Partners

According to akta.pro company records, Opus Camper is part of Purple Line Ltd, which was founded by Managing Director Jonathan Harrison in 2002 and operates from three sites at its Suffolk headquarters. The same records list Thule as a partner supplying roof bars and carriers designed to integrate with OPUS roof systems. In 2023 the company launched the OPUS ORX, a premium off-road folding camper weighing 1,400 kg with 100–350 kg payload options.
