A compact rear-fold camper for off-road escapes
The 2027 CUB Explorer is an Australian-made rear-fold camper trailer for travellers who want a compact setup with off-road capability. It suits couples and solo adventurers looking to move beyond sealed-road campsites while keeping their camper straightforward to use.
Australian steel construction and Australian-made canvas form the basis of the Explorer’s practical design. Its rear-fold layout creates space at camp without the larger footprint of a family double-fold camper.
Configure your Explorer and explore pricing, or find a CUB dealer to discuss the model and your towing requirements.

EXPLORER FEATURES
Compact Design. Big Adventure Capability.
The EXPLORER packs everything you need for comfortable off-road touring into a compact, tow-friendly package. Built tough for the Australian outback, it combines smart design, reliable systems, and CUB’s proven off-road DNA for a camper that’s ready to go wherever the tracks lead.
BUILT TO GO OFF-GRID
The 2027 CUB Explorer includes the My Coolman Energy Power Station that carries the inverter onboard, so 240V is immediately available with the added benefit of being portable and app-monitored. The MyCoolman Energy Power Station specs include 1008Wh (78Ah), LiFePO4- 2000 cycles, 1000w pure-sine inverter with MPPT solar input, 240V fast charge, 2 x 240V sockets, USB-A/C, 12V DC and Anderson plug all covered by a 3-year warranty. Owners can choose to upgrade to a 150Ah MyCoolman powerpack with a 2000W pure-sine inverter (4000W boost) again with a 3-year warranty.
DESIGNED TO TAKE YOU FURTHER
The EXPLORER rides on a strong galvanised Australian steel chassis paired with AL-KO 6-leaf shackle suspension and single shock absorbers, ready for corrugations and country roads alike. 17″ Marshall AT 51 tyres, rear recovery points, and a low towing height of 1.62 m make this compact camper as capable off-road as it is easy to tow and store at home.
GOURMET OUTDOOR KITCHEN
Cooking is a pleasure with the EXPLORER’s full stainless-steel kitchen. It comes standard with a Smev 2-burner stove, sink and mixer tap, Ezy-Clean benchtop, and stainless pantry. A fridge box with slide and gas bottle holders complete the setup, with optional extras like a side shelf, extra gas bayonet, or BBQ slide to create the ultimate outdoor galley.
COMFORTABLE LIVING, ANYWHERE YOU CAMP
Inside the EXPLORER, comfort meets simplicity. A medium-density foam mattress, under-bed storage, and LED lighting create a relaxing space at day’s end. The heavy-duty Wax Converters canvas provides excellent insulation and durability, while large screened windows keep the space cool and breezy. Compact and comfortable, it’s everything you need — and nothing you don’t.
