Camper Trailer Australia - April 2018

shielding of the underbody from stones.

The front box is manufactured from 2mm

checkerplate aluminium, in typical Cub style,

as is the fold-over top to the main camper

body. The front box and other locker doors

are aluminium and the main body is made

from laser cut zincanneal steel. Our camper

was finished in a pleasing metallic Meteor Grey

paint, though just introduced is a range of five

other optional colours to suit your tastes. The

wheel arches are now made from moulded

aluminium and replace the older plastic flares.

Tie-down points are provided to permit

loads to be carried on top of the folded over

body.

Opening and setting up is dead simple, as is

typical with all Cub rear fold designs. Simply

undo the four over-centre latches on the lid

and feed out the strap on the Ezy-Wind winch

being a mesh on a frame which relocates the

side wings of the guard inwards for improved

turning circle and easy access behind the

mesh via elasticised end hooks which secure

the net to the body.

Behind the stone guard is a new frame for

two jerry can mounts and two 4kg gas bottles,

plus an external hand water pump to clean

up after packing up, and the winch for Cub’s

distinctive winch. This is relatively noiseless

these days, to save on waking the neighbours

for those early morning starts, and its

mounting pole now features a sheltered guard

for the gas regulator. There is plenty of spare

room in around all this, which could provide

storage for firewood or other dirty items.

The front mud flaps have gone back from

hanging below the stone guard to below

the front lip of the front box for improved

50 years of towing and hitching

The jockey wheel is removable, so transport room for this has to be

found.
