Cub Campers Supamatic Escape
Verified3 reviews
Easy tow and set up – Bought a second-hand 2010 model in good condition. Previously had just used tents, this was our first camper. We have used it several times since including an extended holiday around South Australia. As it is rated under 750 kg and unbraked you have to be mindful not to overload it. It is easy to tow with our Subaru Outback but we found fuel consumption on ULP91 went up to around 12L/100km. The great benefit of this camper is the hard floor as opposed to the cheaper campers that require you to unpack the canvas onto grass. For a couple there is a stack of space on the floor section for bags and even sitting inside if the weather is bad. The underbed storage is more than adequate. The mattress is good although we are looking to upgrade it just for a little extra comfort. The sleeping area has flat sections of flooring either side to place lights/books/drink bottles. Facebook have a cub camper forum to answer all your questions. It's really important to follow the actual setting up/packing down instructions. Where the camper shines is the outdoor kitchen area with pull out stove and sink and pull out pantry. The Dometic 12V fridge inside is pokey but will fit all the cold goods with careful packing, a separate drinks esky might be needed. The annex is large and easy to set up. The thing to remember is this is not a caravan so there is still an amount of manual labour to get everything right - this includes setting the poles inside the canvas including poles and ropes outside for the annex, and winding the camper out and back in again. It's not something I would use for one night at a time as the packing up takes a while, so 3 nights seems to be a good minimum at each site. This is a great mid level camper option that has good clearance and is comfortable to camp with.

Would never by another – We purchased a cub camper in 2010 and used it for a number of years. No matter how hard we tried even taking it back to cub it never set up properly As a result whenever it rained it leaked in not good Often we couldn’t zip the door because the canvas wasn’t straight and always pulling We would never buy another one Happily upgraded to a Concept Caravan
