It's mainly a worry when closing the ct Kim. Everything bolted to the hardfloor gets lifted by the winch and strap. If the floor is too heavy the strap bends the tents bows, especially the centre one, when you wind the floor up off the ground.

We have at least 40kgs in 2 boxes that travel on top of the ct once it has been closed. No probs with the aluminium bracing on the floor holding that so far and we've done many a rough track/road.

To lighten the floor I will be removing our second pole carrier when we get home. The weight of that, plus the old fishing rods in it, is too much due to it being opposite end to the floor pivot point.

Well finished off mounting 4 bike racks on top of the Cub today, needed height as the 28inch bikes would touch the front and rear bars - so used a spare floor matt cut up for this and also absorb vibration while bikes on top

 

Will get a couple go ratchet tie downs to keep bikes secure - I'm happy with the result

I am the president of the CUB club Australia . We are not a forum, rather we seek to organise trips for CUB owners. If you are interested send me an email at thecubclub01@gmail.com.

Have a great day.

The CUB Club Australia is not related to this forum and so there is no coup. Hail the forum el presidente.

Minister is talking more and more about possibly getting a CUB Spacevan - I'd rather do a new paint job and other odds n sods on the CUB with have, but who am I to have a say?  :-X

We'll be checking them over at the Rosehill show this year, but has anyone gotten a (recent) price on either the Escape or Regal - with or without the TC pack from CUB recently?

Hi guys
Quick question, for those of you that have an internal 3 way  fridge .
We have a Supamatic  ,I was wondering if it was ok to run the fridge on 12v  while travelling. My query comes from the heat generated from the fridge and what if any damage could happen to the canvas etc.

Give CUB in Sydney a call. I was in there earlier this week and I "think" I saw a Spacevan that was drastically reduced from "somewhere" around $43k to $37k or thereabout. It was old stock. I didn't pay too much attention as it was not what I was looking for.

Here's a post about the mod I did due to my similar concerns:
http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=15808.msg290688#msg290688

Worked a treat. Especially from the perspective of my peace of mind.
Also kept heat out of the inside when set up. Efficiency of the fridge went way up when I added a fan.

Since sold the camper though...  :'( :'(

I dare say that'd be the Drover for that price mate, but will ring them monday morning to verify  :)

Thanks for that mate, will give them a ring as well  :)
