Cub Models, Specs & Prices

Cub camper trailers are built in Australia. The brand is an Australian manufacturer focused on off-road touring rigs, with design and production driven by local terrain and buyer needs. Models like the Brumby and Drifter Series II are engineered to Australian specifications and construction standards, making them compliant with local towing and safety regulations from delivery.

VANTURE currently has no active Cub listings, so we don't have live pricing data on the marketplace. We do have no sold history to reference either. To get current pricing, contact Cub dealers directly or set an alert on VANTURE — when new listings appear, you'll receive email notification with real sale prices. Price will depend on model (Brumby vs Drifter Series II), year, and condition.

Both Cub models are engineered for off-road use. The Brumby (1400 kg ATM, sleeps 4) is the lighter, more nimble choice for rough tracks and creek crossings — its 890 kg tare means even a mid-size ute can tow safely, and the compact footprint fits tight camp spots. The Drifter Series II (1900 kg ATM, sleeps 6) carries more payload and sleeps larger groups, making it better for extended family trips or small-group touring into remote regions. Both have independent suspension tuning and reinforced chassis geometry for genuine rough-terrain ability — they are not aimed at blacktop touring or established parks.

Sold data for Cub is limited — VANTURE has no sold listings to date. Because the current model range is recent (2022+), most units are still in first-owner hands and have not yet reached the used market. Once resale history builds, we'll have better data on value retention. Standard camper-trailer depreciation curves suggest a one-to-two-year-old unit loses 10–15 percent, but this depends heavily on suspension condition, service history, and whether the chassis has seen hard off-road work. Check service records and suspension wear carefully when buying used.

First, inspect the independent suspension arms and bushes for play or tight spots — worn suspension is both a safety hazard and costly to repair. Second, examine the drawbar and chassis welds for stress cracks or corrosion, especially where the drawbar meets the main frame and at the jockey-wheel mount — these joints take extreme loads off-road. Third, check underneath the floor near the wheel wells for soft spots, water staining, or panel delamination; damp here is hard to reverse. Fourth, look at the hitch head and any canvas trim for cracks, tears, or seam separation. Finally, inspect the chassis underside for packed mud that hides rust — ask the owner about their wash-down routine and whether the trailer has seen real off-road use or mostly blacktop touring.

Off-road capability is Cub's core design brief. Both the Brumby and Drifter Series II feature reinforced chassis, independent suspension tuning, and geometry optimised for rough tracks rather than caravan parks. The Brumby's 890 kg tare and compact length make it nimble on tight, rocky terrain — a mid-size ute can tow it safely into genuinely remote locations. The Drifter Series II, at 1414 kg tare and 1900 kg ATM, carries more gear and sleeps six, but remains light enough for a large SUV or dual-cab ute. Neither trailer is designed for bitumen touring or suburban parks; both are purpose-built for unsealed tracks, creek crossings, and extended dry camps. If your touring is 90 percent sealed roads and established facilities, a heavier on-road trailer may be less fatiguing. If you want reliable access to remote country, Cub's engineering is genuinely matched to that task.

Yes — Cub's lightweight design is built around dual-cab ute and large-SUV towing capacity. The Brumby (1400 kg ATM, 890 kg tare) is towable by most current dual-cabs and many mid-size SUVs, well within standard single-axle trailer limits. The Drifter Series II (1900 kg ATM, 1414 kg tare) requires a more robust ute — a modern HiLux, Ranger, or Colorado will handle it comfortably, as will most luxury SUVs rated for 2500 kg+ braked towing. Always check your vehicle's compliance plate for actual towing capacity (not just the model spec), then allow a safety buffer — towing at 80–90 percent of rated capacity is prudent, especially if you're doing rough terrain or loaded long-distance runs. If your tow vehicle is older or lighter, check the spec sheet or consult the dealer before committing.
