We had a dvd from when we bought our first cub a 2008 Weekender and handed the dvd on when we sold it without keeping a copy.  This willbe handy as we now have 2003 Supamatic Regal.   Thanks a lot

[fabulous]

There be a green one forsale in a few weeks...

One for sale now Bruce !

[Terry W4]

Watching it when I got home, I found I'd been setting the CUB up wrong, and now I manage to pack it all away a lot easier. I also found there's a bonus of how to re-set the tent 
So if anyone wants a copy, I've uploaded it to my Dropbox. You can view it there on-line, or click the "download" button, and save it to your computer

CUB Camper Setup and Reset  150mb
If anyone has limited download, or slow connection, PM your address and I'll snail mail you a copy

Great - was worried about what I would do when get mine - making an offer this weekend. Just watched it and downloaded- fan-bloody-tastic.

Hi Bob

Hope the camper is still serving you well.

Paul

You betcha Paul, I'm still glad you were selling 

Changed the front tool box for a smaller, but higher box, made a wooden slide out pantry next to the cooker, put a couple of LED strips inside, but still pretty much the same way I bought it from you.
Only done one major trip so far - along the GOR, but been away in it heaps, getting well used

 

P.S.  Went away with a few to Yadboro SF, got talking to (I think his on-line name is redback?) about the camper, said he knew you well...just as well I only had good things to say about the sale     lol

Having travelled for 8 weeks in our Cub I can say most of the video makes sense.

For ensuring the camper is level before setup, I don't agree with the video. If you are parked on a slope the camper will be at the same height relative to you at the front and the back. It will still be parked on a slope though and not be comfortable to sleep in. Use your head and find a different way to check if it's level before setting up

Agree, so I have one of these attached to the drawbar



and carry 2 of these

[bobnrob]

I have the '04 Supermatic Regal, and I want to replace the 14" wheels with 15's.
Anyone know whether these are Holden or Ford stubs please?

 

[corynmelnkids]

What is the size of the studs 7/16" or 1/2" and what is the distance from 1 stud to the next stud centre to centre.

[kiwi66]

This is a good idea Cub Club, cheers.
Nomad Drover and Kiwi66 have got a Spacevan Drover Off Road, took it out for the first trip a week ago, we have been playing around with it in the back yard and yes we have issues with the canvas not sitting straight. We have spoken with the Cub people where we bought it and have a couple of things to try, so see how it goes.

Will check in the morning 

Update

Centre to Centre is 66-67mm. On the rim, on one side of the valve is stamped...6JJx14 (obviously 14"), on the other is 4  217

[corynmelnkids]

Sorry bobnrob for taking so long
The stud pattern you have should be HT stud pattern.

[thrasherdave]

Just watched the video. I was was very surprised to see the bloke extending the rear bow arms prior to folding up. Surely this cannot be correct? If you extend them on setup, as you do, then clearly you retract them prior to fold up. WTF?

I have a Supermatic Drover.

 Question for CUB Club.  Do the CUB Club members have a CUB Club get together?    


Have we any thoughts on this for the NSW members.

[corynmelnkids]

If a NSW meet is organised count me in.

Hi guys

After a bit of advice from any cub owners who have ever put a bike rack on the roof/floor of a cub.

Been researching on here about bike racks at the back of CT, however can damage bikes with vibration etc and even falling off the back...... Looking to carry 4 bikes

Have bought an eBay rack for $50 from this link

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1-Bike-Car-Roof-Carrier-Rack-Bicycle-Racks-Steel-/160921507063?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_15&hash=item2577ab54f7&_uhb=1

After a trip to bunnings for 40mm L galvanized brackets bolted either side of the braces as per this picture




Was looking at getting another 3 up there, carry the 4 bikes, when arrive wherever, take bikes off and still be able to flip out camper.....

Has anyone one done this, would it be OK weight wise or would the aluminium struts on the camper be compromised

Look forward to your input

Cheers

I reckon the aluminium will handle it fine Kim. I drilled a couple of holes in mine and it's been fine.

Ended up that we bought some more alu and had it welded in as cross bracing. We sit 2 medium size storage boxes on there and these would have fallen in the gaps without cross bracing.

Biggest thing to keep in check is the weight you are adding. You'll bend the bows on the tent when you wind it closed if you go too heavy. I learnt the hard way.

A work around if it end up too heavy is to help lift the hard floor when closing. We do this everytime.

[KIMBOPRADO]

Thanks wazza2 for the response, never thought of the bows for tent being effected, might just do the kids 2 lighter bikes first, see how that goes after a trip and go from there.

Cheers

Kim
