Cub Campers has launched a new double-fold camper-trailer, the Drifter II, a new generation of family campers whose strong DNA dates back to the 1970s. Cub says its new Drifter II builds from the success of the original Drifter model and is the only Australian-made, double-fold, camper-trailer on the market.

Setting up the camper utilises the Cub wind-out winch to open the camper and lift over the bed floors which are assisted with gas struts. The aluminium pole frame structure which supports the walls and roof are then easily pushed in place. Cub says its used locally-made dynaproof canvas, and the integrated clear PVC windows with covers and flyscreens provide plenty of ventilation and protection.

The Drifter II has a queen-size pocket spring mattress and a medium density foam double mattress to cover bedding needs. The seating area inside the camper wraps around a large centre table to easily accommodate six large adults. This area can also convert into a queen-size bed if needed.

The outside kitchen features a three-burner stove, sink and fold-out shelf. Cub says its pantry drawer here would be one of the longest fitted on a camper-trailer at a massive 1.4 metres in length.
