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.

[@firetofork]

It’s so bloody quick and easy!

[@peteraloisio3533]

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.

[@gambylou9959]

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👍

[@danielphillips8464]

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!!!

[@SM1075]

What a great way to create memories for your family and in a camper you know is great for 'Towing'!

[@RoMiTouring]

So much easier when towing if it’s nice and light. I have a Marlin Campers soft floor and love it!

[@familyrig]

Marlin campers also have a built in reflective insulation in between canvas and tropical roof

[@Derrick84100]

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.

[@tobyrice1275]

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

[@philby1979]

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

[@tonydawnwright346]

Love towing our camper trailer everywhere, especially amongst the red dust up in the Pilbara & Kimberly’s. Ya can’t beat family time.

[@olivecats2367]

Towing the cub is very forgiving with no worries about weights and terrain. I can’t wait to see where you take it next.

[@deanbutterworth3158]

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.

[@nicolechilds6244]

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

[@firetofork]

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!

[@nicolechilds6244]

@@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

[@jonbarlow3542]

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.

[@michaelmartin2057]

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.

[@paultapper9300]

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.

[@barbiejoyful]

“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

[@Al1978Newman]

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!!

[@escapecamper]

thats why we have 5 cub campers to rent out. they are brilliant!

[@jdcoverland365]

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.

[@greg174videos]

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.

[@iancolson2530]

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! :)

[@TheOfficialHaximus]

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.

[@nic.in.the.pacific5113]

You pointing out that you can fit two cartons of beer in that space inside, laughed so much with the enthusiasm almost wet myself 😂😂😂

[@michaelstrugnell9696]

Towing a much older camper in our 150 Prado, roof rack, loaded, we are about 14-14.5 as well, probably not as heavy but who knows what sort of crap Dad chucks in, most of it is not used!

[@offroadingfoz]

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!

[@Clarkalot]

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.

[@simonbaldwin1550]

“Towing” made easy! I love the forward folds! I regret getting rid of mine.

[@paulskelton370]

"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

[@davidwestley9084]

Towing is what’s sold me on this. I’m getting one as soon as I can.

[@margotmallard3620]

Looks and sounds like you are genuinely happy to be "towing" the Cub camper around. Great product and great review

[@jonhughes8512]

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.

[@sandrinalangston1112]

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.

[@joshhayes7258]

I'd love to be towing something around this country.

[@mileslloyd-jones6219]

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

[@OziBeerMan]

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.

[@joebyrnes3773]

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.

[@mungbean84]

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.

[@zeushellrider27]

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.

[@sistalivingthedream]

"TOWING" a great camper with a great car . Nice honest review Harry

[@bmx269]

Towing a trailer like this off-road is a dream. So nice.

[@samh846]

Camper trailer life is great! “Towing” for the win every time

[@lionelomally9448]

"Towing" love the recipes and would love the Book. Bought a red roads fire pit as well.

[@andrew72184]

How good is it to be an influencer to get a fully spec camper for free to use. Living the dream mate keep it going.

[@erycbloodaxe]

looks great and easy to use and 'towing' would be a dream.

[@4WheelingInNSW]

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

[@darrylearnshaw7102]

Good skills, wouldn’t even think about doing something like that myself!

[@mark_northcott]

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!

[@randomuser4310]

some ratchie straps from boss might be a great idea for the straps for the reflective top

[@shaunmalivindi1309]

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

[@cptchilliring9248]

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

[@bensteele9295]

Towing the Cub looks like a dream!

[@noobsoff-road]

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.

[@OTRWA]

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

[@martinstockamp8240]

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

[@Hunno101]

I was speeding while towing a load of donkeys. Naturally I got pulled over. When the officer asked me "Do you know why I stopped you today?" I replied.... "Because I was hauling ass?"

[@danielthompson4195]

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!

[@revhead145]

Towing - I'm super keen to get a cub rear fold. Fingers crossed I'll get it next year

[@seanchristie7150]

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

[@ShannonBeal80]

The extended drawbar makes towing so much better!

[@stevegibbons4639]

Honest Feedback is appreciated. I did make a note to follow up on the update. Thermal Blankets makes a massive amount of sense. 2 cartons of beer in the small Pidgeon hole has sold me!

[@DSrealestate-narangba]

We have a Cub Scout and love it.

[@crobster]

well thought out review with disclaimer...glad to see you are not just "towing"(sic) the line

[@matthardey6722]

You now have me looking at Cub Campers, because I want to be Towing a camper with my Son in 2023 from Perth to The Bathurst 1000. In the meantime I’ve got plenty of time to learn how to cook better 🥩 🔥

[@government7193]

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...

[@JandH2017]

Not at all a stupid amount of $ to spend. If you do the maths, happy nipper s= $ well spent. We are planning a lap or 2 with a camper van & those maths add up even more. Cheers Harry 🍻

[@CHOPSZOOKER]

Annexe/awning facing the sea hope the wind don't get any stronger.

[@daniellerichards5655]

Thanks for a good episode Harry! ‘Towing’

[@danielannett-stuart2099]

The Cub trailer just glides when you are towing it over those gravel roads.

[@steveswiggers1578]

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]

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!

[@walker11288]

Been trying to avoid towing but would love to get a camper as the kids get older

[@BaileyCheshire]

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

[@Banjo1754]

Understanding Conformation Bias' ... U biased 'never' ... If you like something then ... If you hate something then ... Sounds like you found the perfect camper for you and your family (& Fred) ... Ratio for Tow Vehicle to Trailer appears to be about right. 'Towing' is about the vehicle pulling to load, not being push by the load ...

[@emmadaby267]

Keep up the great work, Harry. The camper looks great. "Towing"

[@boydauspeditions]

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...

[@markofford7002]

Good to see someone happy with a lightweight kind of basic setup that you can take anywhere well done mate 👍

[@joshcross5377]

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👍

[@SimonWilliams67]

Great TOWING info and tips in that one Harry. Cub Camper looks the ducks nuts!

[@daveberry1274]

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.

[@markokane5783]

The easy towing is a major for many. Great review

[@mickusms700]

I’m scratching my head trying to think of an imaginative way to use towing in a sentence, but it seems this is as good as it gets

[@terrydonnell5862]

Just keep towing.. and enjoying the great outdoors that is OZ... 😉

[@lukehutchinson6754]

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 🍻

[@aarynmurphy7174]

One of the most relatable forms of size comparison, “I can fit two cartons of beer in there” oh wow that is huge!! Maybe a future review idea, fill every crevice eg the pantry holds 26 cartons lol maybe a certain mothers milk could jump on board with sponsoring that episode! Also be interesting to see how it is at “towing” with every space full of that golden beauty

[@oliverwolf5074]

A great towing trailer makes all the difference.

[@andrewsymons3819]

Thanks for the TOWING tips. Some good ideas for our forward fold camper.

[@henrikm4657]

I love that you measure cubby space in how many beer cartons you can fit 😂

[@jacobabernethy245]

TOWING need that book for some recipes for Christmas camping in Denmark😉

[@JandH2017]

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 😊🍻

[@mariahawkes6468]

Great review, we have a Frontier also, been on a few trips now and love it. "TOWING"

[@Australianzwayne]

Good one you mate, roll over year is great. Happy camping champ and be safe.

[@shonahambley]

Great video, the Prado would make towing a dream

[@claudiocamino8006]

Great trailer review Harry 👌. Keep TOWING for another year.

[@iantheweblord]

I'd love to 'towing' one, now can I find one in Canada...

[@williamsnodgrass4723]

I believe Cub should import this to Canada. I would enjoy “towing” it everywhere.

[@Dmacs_fishingandfun]

Towing your family into awesome adventures, nice work Harry

[@damianhingston6758]

Great review Harry. Some great tips and actual experiences. Really liked your breakdown of how you pack and your experiences towing. Thank you 👍

[@stuartsmith945]

Sounds like heaven. Towing

[@OnCountryWithMick]

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.

[@cleemensassmannshausen8354]

„Towing“ a camper trailer gives you so much flexibility and space, specially with kids. You are so lucky to have your own one in tow. Are there any rental options for Cub Campers? Would also allow „non owners“ to enjoy and share your enthusiasm 😊. Cheers, mate!

[@firetofork]

Absolutely- lots of places all over Australia rent them out
