I have made a shelf out of the stainless shelf on my Cub Spacematic. I copied the idea from Snow's thread

I hope this comes out OK, I don't have photos at the moment and the cub is stored in a mates shed ,I am happy to talk you through what I did with mine, but it is very close to what snow did. ( full credit to Snow for this idea :cup:)

Hey Grizzly,

I would love to see these photos but unfortunately they aren't linked. Could you please try again or link Snows thread?

I will have a search for Snows thread though.

Thanks for replying - would like to make a start soon,

 :cheers:
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, Off to do more camping we go.

Hey, I now qualify as a Cubette!  I am a single mum of two boys, we all love camping!  I recently had to downsize in vehicle so I got rid of my Jayco Finch Outback as well and went on the search for a smaller, lighter, easy to tow and easy to set up camper and guess what I just picked up!  An 03 Cub Supamatic TC, canvas is schmicko as the previous owner always threw a tarp over the top.  The trailer needs a tiny bit of TLC, which I will do myself and get a battery added to run my fridge and its ready to go....(i have named it Cougar!). 
 Lovin it! ;D

Nice unit thommo.  It is a lot of canvas but the awning definitely makes it liveable

Not a Cub owner YET - have my eye on a couple and will be buying in September to coincide with retirement.

If this weekend comes off I would suggest letting Cub Public Relations know - they would want to get pics - write a story - and maybe be prepared to put up some sponsorship/prizes for a competition.

If they are having theirs in Victoria, maybe we could do something more local?

Here's one for Cub owners that like a little off road action.

Initially our park brake actuator looked like this - hanging precariously below the draw-bar.



As on off-road spec model this is the one weak point I saw but did nothing about fixing before we embarked on our big trip.

So what happened? We smashed the park brake actuator off in some deep ruts on the first bit of true off-road driving we did (Ollera Beach). Going very slow was no saviour for it.

Smashed the plate off that the actuator fits onto just behind the hitch mechanism. Didn't seem that big a thump but with all the weight in the trailer and rear of the car there was little hope of it surviving. The protector plate just bent and that was it



So we grabbed a replacement and lived with rocks as the brakes for a few days while I thought about a better solution. By the river in Coen we got the angle grinder out and the drill. About an hour later we had stage 1 fix nearly ready to go. Park brake ready to be fixed ON TOP of the hitch this time.



We used a piece of shelf bracket I had thrown in as the new locking mechanism. We cut it a bit short though so the cable needed shortening a few days later so we had some adjustment.
