OP4 Camper Setup Guide
Set Up Your OP4 Camper
Ready to start your off-road adventure? Setting up your OP4 is a breeze with this step-by-step guide! Designed for ease and safety, these instructions will have you camping in no time. Let’s get started!
Before You Begin
- Park Smart: Find level ground and set the handbrake.
- Safety First: Close all quick-release valves (5 on driver’s side) and remove items from the cargo rack.
- Power Up: Turn the red key on the control panel to wake up your OP4.
Step-by-Step Setup
1. Lower the Spare Tire
- Un-clip the spare wheel carrier and gently lower it to horizontal. Support it to avoid a sudden drop!
- Why It Matters: Gives you room to work and adds stability.
2. Unfold the Cargo Rack
- Un-clip latches on the passenger side, remove locking pins on the driver’s side, and unfold the rack. Re-secure with pins.
- Pro Tip: Double-check pins are locked to hold your 500 lbs of gear safely.
3. Open and Secure the Bed Lids
- Open the front lid 180° (gas struts help!), latch it to the stone guard with a D-pin.
- Do the same for the rear lid, folding out support legs and securing with D-pins.
- Walk around to ensure the canvas fits into the aluminum channels without snags.
- Tuck canvas corners over bed trays, aligning seams.
- Heads-Up: Check for trapped fabric to avoid tears—your tent deserves care!
4. Inflate the Tent
- Hit the Air Inflation button on the control panel.
- The tent inflates to 6.5 PSI and stops automatically. Remove the hose and cap the inlet.
- Expert Tip: Adjust to 9 PSI max with the compressor dial for high altitudes or windy days. Use the manual pump (5 min) if needed.
- Safety Note: Wait until fully inflated before entering, and keep kids 5 ft away.
5. Set Up the Exterior
- Fold down the stabilizer legs: Pull the blue handle, bring to vertical, insert the pin, and wind down until they touch the ground.
- Adjust for a level setup based on your terrain.
- Set up your kitchen (see our Kitchen Guide).
- Why It Helps: Leveling gives you a stable camper so it doesn't move around whilst you are inside.
6. Arrange the Interior
- Unlock the door with the triangle-key, support its weight, and adjust steps (unhook pins, slide legs).
- Turn on lights via the control panel; dim the foot-well lights with the switch.
- Plug in ceiling lights to 12V mini outlets.
- Set up the sofa: Start with the center-back cushion, then corners and sides.
- Fold out the table legs and adjust the height.
- Extra Space: Convert seating to a third bed or add the King extension (see Beds Guide).
- Comfort Add-Ons: Use the Porta potti; optional furnace or A/C (needs shore power).
Quick Setup Checklist
- Lower spare tire.

Time: 5-10 minutes once you’re a pro!
