    We bought a second hand cub trailer last year, fold out with the hard floor. Taken it a few times now, and still working out some kinks. Having a power option is brilliant, we took a small toaster and air fryer with us when we camped in the Otways. Having roast chicken for dinner whilst camping was amazing. Going this weekend or to Yarra Junction for a couple of nights. Weather is looking pretty good.

      Oh nice! Is that the Doon Reserve place? I’ve had that on my list for a while to check out. What did one of those Cubs set you back if you don’t mind me asking? They all seemed pretty expensive last time I looked for anything even slightly modern. My Kia can tow up to 1.9k kg, but only tolerates 100kg on the towball so my options are a bit limited.

        Little community camp place, camp Eureka. Our cub is a 2014. We paid $10k for it after some bargaining. It’s in perfect nick. 90kg ball weight. Still working it out, but it’s great.

          Oh wow, havnt even heard of this one. Its not on Wikicamps so that might explain why. Nice, what model is it? Guessing someone has modified it to have power right? Cant have been standard on a 2014.

              interesting! Yeah a lot of the late 00’s early 2010’s seem to be in the budget I was thinking of. I might have to have another look at all this, thanks heaps!

                - the set up from the weekend.

                The awning was up for the first time, and I had no clue as to the set up. It didn’t rain so it was fine, but might need a few tweaks for next time. I was in the hiking tent as we had non-family kid with us, so MrsCalhoon was in the camper with kidcalhoon1, kidcalhoon2 and guestcalhoon.

                  Looks like a pretty great set up. So it fits 4 no worries? That’s very interesting!!! I’ve got better chances of getting 10-13k approved by the Mrs than I do a 25k jayco haha
