Great to hear your TOWING experience has been so good. We have only just started working with a trailer setup...very basic but still it changes the dynamics of the way we pull up and break down camps.
Cheers for sharing your cooking experiences with us
Great review Harry. Some great tips and actual experiences. Really liked your breakdown of how you pack and your experiences towing. Thank you 👍
Towing. Having recently coming across your channel, I think it’s so refreshing that your not tricking up your gear or trying to see the limits of what your gear will take. The videos I’ve seen have all been very down to earth. Keep them coming.
What a great way to create memories for your family and in a camper you know is great for 'Towing'!
Looks and sounds like you are genuinely happy to be "towing" the Cub camper around. Great product and great review
been waiting for this video, as I said to you when over Instagram, your first walkthrough video was the reason we ordered our frontier and it arrived a couple of days before I got to catch up with you at the Adelaide Show. well worth the wait. 100% agree with everything you said about the camper from our experience, ours is a similar Spec to yours just a few things different , "Towing" is a dream with it its effortless behind the wife's Toorak Tractor
Now to just wait for the flooding to go and get the river back to normal levels as the camp sites we were going to are under water currently
Congratulations on the continuing partnership with Cub thats great they are looking after you
"Towing" Hey Harry, love the channel mate. Thanks for the great content. I have been considering the Cub Frontier for a while and your reviews helped confirm my research. Just bought a 2020 model and can't wait to use it. Thanks very much and keep up the great work. Cheers Paul
Solid review. Picked up my Cub Scout 2 months ago & absolutely love it.! Mine is spec'd up the same as yours but without the rear storage boxes and as you said, everything is good quality and just works..
Oh and 'towing' is a breeze...
I’m so glad you mentioned that it is Australian made and top quality right at the end Harry. A really good review. Many thanks. And towing is not an issue if you set it all up well. Enjoy the next twelve months with a trailer to be proud of.
Thanks for the TOWING tips. Some good ideas for our forward fold camper.
We took delivery of our Cub Drifter in August and WE LOVE IT!! Towing it to a caravan park for an unpowered trial run in relative safety. Can't wait to get further off grid and be more self reliant.
Fingers crossed for a portable fire pit from Santa to follow more of the Fire To Fork mantra!!
Thanks Harry!!
We love our Cub. Got a Supermatic Drover and it is awesome, like your, but a rear fold hard floor. It is also really easy for TOWING. Love your work as always.....And we have a Prado.
Good review, same experience, and exactly the same set up being prado and frontier. One additional benefit that I've found with the Thermal blanket in winter is that it reduces condensation on the inside roof of the camper.
Towing the cub is very forgiving with no worries about weights and terrain. I can’t wait to see where you take it next.
The ease of setup on that camper was impressive. When we got to camp, it felt like you had that thing unloaded, level, and fully setup in about 5 minutes (without using the awning).
And that hot water! 🤌 So easy to clean up at camp.
It’s so bloody quick and easy!
Love towing our camper trailer everywhere, especially amongst the red dust up in the Pilbara & Kimberly’s. Ya can’t beat family time.
Your obviously happy towing such an awesome camper, a little tip, the breeze skirt is bloody brilliant. It stops the mozzie and midges from attacking you from underneath, little buggers love hiding out of the wind underneath. Loving the video, merry Christmas to you and your family.. oh and Fred.. cheers
We got to see the whole family; Sam, Bill and Fred. 🤗 Our Cavoodle goes nuts when Fred comes into view, it's a real family affair when you guys slide down our screen👍
Good one you mate, roll over year is great. Happy camping champ and be safe.
Great video on your towing experiences with the cub trailer👌
WOW!!!! Cub are no doubt "tickled pink" with your review; your authentic and honest appraisal was definatly worth watching, and regarding all critical points; weight, tow feel, features, and that hot water in particular ticks my boxes! I now too believe the Frontier to be best value option out there! Thanks F 2 F.
Hey Harry, long time watcher and this is my first ever CZcams comment, anywhere. You might have just changed my life. I just watched your vid and my not-interested-in-camping wife just turned to me and said “that looks like fun, why don’t we get one of those Cub things?”. Um what now? So I’m on the Cub website now, you’re a bloody legend mate. Oh, and it is just a bonus that the camper is great for towing
Great review, we have a Frontier also, been on a few trips now and love it. "TOWING"
Great vid have fun towing your cub⛺️🔥
Great episode mate, love your work! Towing me along the whole video!
A great in depth and honest video. I’m currently looking for a new camper so definitely one for the list, just towing a box trailer with camp gear atm but enjoying it. Would love a copy of your book need a good recipe to one up the father in law next camping trip as he is a chef. Keep up the great content.
Great trailer review Harry 👌.
Keep TOWING for another year.
Really great video Harry, looks like you are "towing" the right gear!
Towing your family into awesome adventures, nice work Harry
Keep up the great work, Harry. The camper looks great. "Towing"
Another great video Harry. We recently sold our caravan and have joined Vanlife so no more ‘towing’ for us. But we did purchase an AWD van to give us that little bit of extra ability to go off the beaten track a bit. Love the channel mate, keep it up.
Think you done a pretty fair review on the cub, i have never been one for 'Towing' but there does seem to be that luxury factor! cheers...
Towing along well. The light weight footprint looks great and I am envious, definitely a cub is on my wish list. Might have to hire one first to try and win the family over, cheers 🍻
Towing! Thanks for another great and informative episode. Keep 'me coming!
Great to see you towing! Enjoy
Good to see someone happy with a lightweight kind of basic setup that you can take anywhere well done mate 👍
Looking to get my family into 'Towing' a camper soon. The Cub Frontier would be my personal camp trailers of choice if I had no budget to adhere to. One day, one day. Love the videos Harry.
Harry: I have been "Towing" for longer than you have been alive. Long draw bars ARE a Godsend! A short draw bar makes reversing a pain. This is one of your best videos IMHO . Merry Christmas, from Malaysia.
Great TOWING info and tips in that one Harry. Cub Camper looks the ducks nuts!
"Towing" love the recipes and would love the Book. Bought a red roads fire pit as well.
Towing the right camper trailer can really add to the off road experience lol. Great vid again Harry as always and a very good, straight forward, honest review of the camper trailer.
I'm just about to stop "TOWING" my forward fold camper and start "TOWING" a small caravan (Mobi Nomad). I can honestly say I've loved the camper, mostly using it offroad and would recommend one to anyone staying in one spot for more than 4 days. Another great vid, keep them coming! :)
It’s an interesting one right. Once you get something that suits your families needs unlikely you’d change.
We’ve had a Jayco Expanda 18ft for 5 years now and with kids doing weekend sport ability to stop road side for lunch or shower them before driving home has been amazing!
Sure I’d love something a bit lighter to tow some days but it is only 2.4T loaded up so towing it isn’t too bad but I don’t think I’d put it on the beach 😂
Great wrap up on it well done!
“Towing” made easy! I love the forward folds! I regret getting rid of mine.
"TOWING" a great camper with a great car . Nice honest review Harry
Nice review. Thinking of getting one myself one day, might try the hire option first. TOWING on the beach looks great, have to give that a crack also.
looks great and easy to use and 'towing' would be a dream.
It can be a bit of a pain towing a camper trailer to some hard to get to places, but when you get there, you've got everything you need.
Bought a Cub weekender second hand. The issue with the bed was there was no central support for the ply. One piece 30x30mm steel bar slid in easy and now there is no sag in the ply. Also ordered replacement mattress from BCF (original was over 12 years old) and it’s been the best. Also used it as a flat bed trailer too, so handy!
The missus and I have been thinking we’ll get a camper trailer one day once we have kids. This was such a great insight on what it’ll be like “towing”! We’ll stick to the rtt for now. Cheers mate
thats why we have 5 cub campers to rent out. they are brilliant!
“Towing “ that looks like a breeze! Love our forward fold, but hubby seems to be future thinking and likes the look of a few hybrids
Towing is what’s sold me on this. I’m getting one as soon as I can.
The easy towing is a major for many. Great review
good review.
Hot water makes life easier and if you don’t like canvas buy a caravan!
As for the solar blanket we were at-2 in Alice Springs and warm,huge difference!
Great camper
I’ll stick with my Camprite for the same reasons
Towing a trailer like this off-road is a dream. So nice.
Thanks for a good episode Harry! ‘Towing’
We have a similar camper but slightly more heavy (SUV Camper). Good to see your experience with this type of camper, great review (finally an influencer who really uses stuff for a longer time and reviews then) The longer hitch is definitely a thing driving a Prado. A lithium/red arc combo will definitely be one of our upgrades when going on longer trips. Using the mini maxtraxs as levellers is a great idea!
We have an SUV Grand too. Towing it is a breeze with our Everest 2 litre bi-turbo and it is really easy to set up like the Cub. Unlike the Cub though, it already comes with a tropical roof and air con. Love it and we've done about 14,000km in it, even up to the top of Cape York. Love F2F!
Now that’s a trailer I’d like to be towing
Keep up the top videos mate 👌🏻
Great video, the Prado would make towing a dream
Good skills, wouldn’t even think about doing something like that myself!
We have a Cub Scout and love it.
So much easier when towing if it’s nice and light. I have a Marlin Campers soft floor and love it!
Marlin campers also have a built in reflective insulation in between canvas and tropical roof
Good stuff Harry!
Cub are absolutely gold!!!
We bought a Cub longreach LE and are on our trip of a lifetime around Australia! The wife and two kids have now called it home for 8 months!
We agreed on a camper because I didn’t want to be towing a caravan!
Legend
Great review!!!
Towing the Cub looks like a dream!
Towing - I'm super keen to get a cub rear fold. Fingers crossed I'll get it next year
well thought out review with disclaimer...glad to see you are not just "towing"(sic) the line
Great review...thx
That year went quickly!
Towing…My partner and I currently have a “Skamper Kampers Ulitmate Dingo”, it’s not Aussie made but it’s within our budget…for now. We plan to upgrade to either a cub forward fold or possibly look at some hybrids. We love it, have a few minor issues but nothing to complain about.
Great video mate. As you were going through everything I was wondering what the weight got up to and it's ATM etc. Honestly that's a pretty decent weight I think for something of that size and with all that gear. I had a good look through the Cub Campers at the Sydney 4wd Show and would love to get my hands on one their their Rear Fold ones eventually. If my channel ever takes off and I can travel more like you do I think a Rear Fold would be just fine for me as it would be quick and easy to set up. I looked at the different brands, hybrids etc at the Sydney show and none of them impressed me like the Cub ones did.
I love playing your videos with subtitles, I always love the " it takes so long to set up camper trailer" have you ever sat down and watched these people setup their 3.5t boxes of air I highly suggest to crack a beer and have a geez, I only started on a recent trip to Mt Augustus and I roughly timed 1 bloke at 45 minutes for the 25ft shitwah he dragged in, others seems like an all day affair, love the vid love the camper, we run a Trackabout as it was the only thing that ticked the boxes when we bought but would definitely consider the Frontier and other Cubs once the kids are in swags
Had a cub frontier. And found the only problem we had was the heat loss with the canvas in winter and excessively hot in summer.
Definitely need a tropical roof.
Camper needs a diesel heater to keep worm in winter.
Apart from that the camper is great.
We were thinking of "towing" an off-road van, after seeing this review we are seriously thinking of looking at this type of towing setup. #thatsenoughcodewords 😊🍻
Camper trailer life is great! “Towing” for the win every time
Bit late, but what a fantastic towing setup, I'm so keen to buy one but just need to sort out the pros and cons of what to look for before jumping into the deep end.
The extended drawbar makes towing so much better!
We got a cub drifter recently my wife, 2 boys under 2 love it. We have a blast. Cub is by far so superior to other camper trailer brands. It's definitely worth the extra money.
I love towing my forward fold we have a diesel heater and that means we can camp all year round. From Vic Cub make some nice kit.
I've always appreciated the Cubs for staying Australian made and keeping weights reasonable for towing. The only thing I would say is keep your mind open to going to the Drifter if your family grows.
Living the dream towing that!
Towing, thanks for another great vid
Fantastic realworld review, not delectably biased. You could be towing a roadtrain through the glaring omission about why you had to snatch the whole 5t off the rear recovery points, but I suppose that is for another episode once you have processed that both emotionally and financially
Definitely make a cocktail recipe book, I would buy it! I get so boring and just make espresso martinis or live on beer 🍻 nice episode can't wait to try these
Just keep towing.. and enjoying the great outdoors that is OZ... 😉
Hi there,
Love your channel!
Just wondering where that outdoor mat is from? Sounds brilliant for beach camping 😊
What a camping spot, dam you find some great places. If you can message me quietly where it is I'll definitely be "Towing" my camper down there.
Your cub trailer that you are towing should be called the tardis you keep pulling out all this fantastic camping and cooking products one very versatile camper trailer.
Nice review 👍 “Towing”
But does it go well with beer… I reckon it might hey😁 I really miss “towing” my old XTrail camper a very similar camper to that one and I could drag that thing anywhere, the new 17 foot caravan not so much but I still hook in and have a go👍
TOWING need that book for some recipes for Christmas camping in Denmark😉
Mate that’s a nice rig, I can’t wait to get kitted out for towing, we’ve got I nice tent setup but it’s time for an upgrade I think
You pointing out that you can fit two cartons of beer in that space inside, laughed so much with the enthusiasm almost wet myself 😂😂😂
Sounds like heaven. Towing
Hi there,
Love your videos!
Sorry if I missed it but can I ask where you said that outdoor mat is from?
Ta 😊
Hey Harry - we were in front of you about a month ago Towing our Frontier with an Amarok. You pulled out the forest and were behind us until we pulled into Harvey Cheese and I was the old girl waving like a fan girl as you went past. AlsoFYI, the redarc redvision app allows you to turn off lights etc from your phone inside rather than the headunit in case you didnt know. We have the redarc, inverter and near identical Frontier except rear boxes are on order and camo canvas. Happy travels…this is our second CUB, big fans of course
I remember that (NSW plates if I remember correctly) How was the cheese? I’ve driven past a million times and I need to pull in!
@@firetofork that was the one - good memory! The cheese was excellent - haloumi one of the best I have had (and I love cheese). The soft blue, the swiss (on a toasty) and their butter with herbs were cracking good! Definitely worth the stop
I “towtally” love this channel
Towing a forward fold is the way to go! Best value for money compared to the heavy, expensive hybrids getting around. And almost fool proof!
Cub campers are just brilliant mate, Aussie made quality. There’s no other brand I’d rather be “towing” than a cub.
Aussie Aussie Aussie
Oi Oi bloody cub Oi
After watching this I hope to get Towing soon!
