    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    Hey Harry, long time watcher and this is my first ever RUclips 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

    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.

I now too believe the Frontier to be best value option out there! Thanks F 2 F.

    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.

  • @johntroost7045

    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.

  • @mark_northcott
    @mark_northcott Год назад

    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!

  • @steveswiggers1578
    @steveswiggers1578 Год назад +1

    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!

    • @bobr6555
      @bobr6555 Год назад +1

      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!

  • @jdcoverland365

  • @offroadingfoz
    @offroadingfoz Год назад

    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!

    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.

  • @deanbutterworth3158
    @deanbutterworth3158 Год назад

    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.

    Camper needs a diesel heater to keep worm in winter.
    Apart from that the camper is great.

  • @OnCountryWithMick
    @OnCountryWithMick Год назад +1

    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.
