Make setting up camp a breeze with the Air Opus inflatable camper

There is nothing like camping in the great outdoors during a holiday weekend, but going outside does not have to mean leaving certain amenities behind. Campers allow owners to bring a little bit of civilization with them, but the setup can be tiresome after a long journey. The Air Opus inflatable camper makes setup a breeze.

Using Air Pole technology, the Air Opus camper inflates its canopy in less than 90 seconds, leaving owners with more time to actually enjoy the campsite. A small electric pump inside the camper activates with a simple flip of the switch. When it is time to go, deflating is just as easy. Releasing the air valves collapses the tent, leaving it ready to fold back up.

AIR OPUS - 4 Stage Set Up

Aside from the inflatable tent, the Air Opus comes with all the bells and whistles of the standard Opus camper. It was designed to be lightweight at 1,577 pounds, easy to tow for even a small car. While lightweight, the construction is sturdy enough to carry bikes, canoes, kayaks, and more. Even with the added weight, sudden stops won’t be an issue. Electrical breaks ensure minimal force on the car.

The interior is what makes Opus campers feel like a second home. Features in the base model include two double mattresses, seating area with an additional double bed, table, stainless steel sink, dual hob gas stove, heating, lighting, storage space, windows, skylights, two USB charging ports, and a portable toilet.

Upgrades vary by price but include a cinema system, carpet flooring, microwave, three-way refrigerator, air conditioning, awnings, and extension pods.

The Air Opus inflatable camper can be added as an upgrade to any Opus model for $2,499. Pre-orders are currently available with the collection expected to be ready later this summer. The base model for an Opus camper starts at $18,999.

Those who are still on the edge are encouraged to use the Travel to Try option. For just $100 per night, campers can rent any Opus model from the facility in the San Francisco Bay Area for up to three nights. If the vacation was enough to sway a purchase, the company will deduct 100 percent of the travel costs and rental price and put it toward the purchase.

Folding e-bikes are amazing, if you can deal with these caveats
Lectric XP Lite

Riding e-bikes can be a wonderful way to exercise, or to simply spend time relaxing time outdoors. But bulky e-bikes can be a hassle for taking on the go or fitting in smaller spaces. Folding e-bikes can fit in trunk of your car and save space in tiny apartments, but they come with their own drawbacks. Are they the right fit for your life? We've broken down the pros and cons.

Of course, there are a wide variety of folding e-bikes that range from budget to premium, so this generalized list of pros and cons may not apply to absolutely every model on the market. We recommend you do your own research when you begin shopping for a new folding e-bike to be certain it meets your personal needs safely and effectively.
Pro: They save space
The most obvious benefit of a folding e-bike is that they, well, fold! Most e-bikes are very simple to collapse, allowing you to nearly halve their total size by folding them at the center. Many models even let you fold in their pedals and collapse the handlebars.

Is the Bluetti AC200L the best power station for camper vans?
Bluetti AC200L solar power generator new release

Van life has the potential to be very simple, but if you're not prepared, it could become difficult quickly. Consider the modern appliances you use to cook. Depending on where you stop, you can't always make a campfire, which means you'll need a burner of some kind. But you'll also need a power source capable of supporting that burner and any other devices or small appliances you may want to use, such as camp lighting. In a camper van, you typically don't have that power handy unless you've outfitted your setup with a portable power station like the Bluetti AC200L -- the ideal camper van companion.

Campers will love the expansive 2,048-watt-hour capacity and 1,200 watts of solar input, allowing you to charge via solar relatively quickly. But also the fact that it's modular and expandable up to 4,096 watt-hours with a single B230 expansion battery, or up to 8,192 watt-hours with two B300 expansion batteries. Why? Because you can increase the power capacity at any time to handle more devices or appliances or to extend the power time of the station as needed. Basically, that allows you to equip your camper van or makeshift camp with as much power as you could possibly need. Plus, the AC200L's 1.6x power output is above the traditional rate, 2.4x charging speed and lower noise levels add more to love about it.
