2023 was a significant year for Cub. We focused on improving our caravan and camper trailer range across the board with a significant refresh early in the year, and provided more options for families with the introduction of the Drifter GT. We also expanded our luxury hybrid caravan lineup with the addition of the L16 and H16. Finally, Cub returned to old ground with the release of our Cub Classic horse float, improving on our original design enabled by modern engineering and manufacturing.  

We recently appeared in the premium lifestyle magazine Sunday Life. Fresh on the heels of our announcement of the C16 Good Design Award win for product design, Amy and Shane Fagan both detail their experiences in the change of direction for Cub. What sets the C16 apart in the market and the history of Cub’s over 55 year manufacturing experience, hand-made here in Australia.

Cub Campers are delighted to announce the Australian Made C16 – the 5-star luxury caravan - has officially been recognised as a winner of the Good Design Award for Product Design in the Automotive and Transport Category for 2023. This award is one of the most prestigious awards for design in Australia and recognises outstanding design and innovation.  

We at Cub are excited to reveal the latest model in our luxury hybrid caravan range, the H16 – our pop top caravan designed for streamlined travel in maximum comfort, price from only $94,990. Cub are 100% Aussie made and owned, and it’s been nearly a year since the launch of the C16, Cub’s premium luxury hybrid caravan. In the following months, Cub launched the L16, a lighter, more affordable cousin. We’ve continued to keep our eyes and ears on the trends of the caravan market, and it became obvious that next would be an even lighter, pop top caravan. Enter, the H16!

The Drifter has undeniably established itself as a highlight of the Cub range. Originally released into the Australian market in 2020, the Drifter is still the only Australian Made Double Fold camper available, seamlessly combining the comfort and space of a caravan with the functionality and off-road prowess of a camper trailer.

In September 2022, we launched our first caravan – the Cub C16 – into the Australian market, backed by the Cub name and over 50 years of RV manufacturing experience. Although we’ve had a massively successful first step into a new territory with a luxury model, we knew that there was still a desire for a lightweight, quality Australian-made caravan capable of heading off-grid but without quite as many bells and whistles. We’ve listened to the feedback and we’re proud to introduce the L16 – the newest caravan in the Cub range.

After almost 2 years of intense research and development, Cub Campers is proud to announce the release of our first off-road caravan - the C16. Backed by over 50 years of RV manufacturing experience, Cub is known for producing high-quality campers that are built to withstand the toughest Australian conditions. This experience has carried over and we’ve used everything we’ve learned from building camper trailers to create a fully off-road caravan using the tough-as-nails Cub DNA. The C16 is purpose-built for going off the beaten track and staying there for as long as possible. With a tare of 2000kg, an ATM of 2700kg and an unladen ball weight of 140kg, it’s light to tow.

The original Cub Drifter was an iconic family off-roader that was first introduced in the 1970s.  Despite production being halted in the late 1990s, the trailer’s robust design and family-orientated setup with two large beds continues to be a favourite amongst campers all over the country.   

Back in June Cub Campers partnered with Camp Quality for their second annual Camp In. Camp Quality launched Camp In last year as a fun, at-home activity during the COVID-19 lockdown, asking Aussies to sleep away from their beds and raise funds for kids facing cancer.

This year Cub has partnered with Camp Quality for their Camp In!

Since its initial release in 2016 as the only Australian Made Forward Fold Camper Trailer, the Cub Frontier fast became our most popular model and has held onto that title for a little over 5 years. It is, by far, the easiest forward fold on the market to set up and built to handle the toughest conditions the Outback can throw at it, so it’s no surprise that it has become the camper Cub is best known for.
