1. PACKING THE CAMPER TRAILER
WEIGHTS & LOADS
Before packing your vehicle and trailer, it is important to know and
understand the following terms and load limitations imposed upon
your TOW-VEHICLE by the vehicle manufacturer.
1. GROSS VEHICLE MASS (GVM): The maximum allowable weight of
the vehicle when it is fully loaded. (This includes everything : the
driver, passengers, accessories fitted to the vehicle such as roof
racks and bull-bars, luggage, fuel, weight on the tow-ball etc.)
2. GROSS COMBINATION MASS (GCM): The maximum allowable
COMBINED weight of the loaded tow-vehicle AND the loaded
trailer.
3. TOWING CAPACITY: The maximum weight of a fully loaded trailer
that the tow-vehicle can legally tow. NOTE: If the tow-bar fitted to
the vehicle is a factory-fitted or dealer fitted item, it will inevitably
match this rating. If however the tow-bar is a non-genuine after-
market fitment, it would be prudent to check the plaque fitted to
the tow-bar to verify what the Towing Capacity of the tow-bar in
this case actually is.
4. TOW BALL MASS (TBM): The maximum downward weight that
can be applied to the tow ball (or equivalent). NOTE: It is also
important to verify that the TBM rating of the towbar can
comfortably accommodate a ball weight of at least 12% of the
trailer’s ATM.
Similarly, know and understand the following terms and load
limitations imposed upon the TRAILER by the trailer manufacturer (i.e.
in this case Cub Campers):
5. TARE MASS: The weight of a trailer as it is generally delivered (i.e.
with no water or gas in their respective tanks.)
6. ATM (AGGREGATE TRAILER MASS): The maximum permissible
weight of a free-standing, fully loaded trailer (i.e. unhitched).

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 4of 32
7. GTM (GROSS TRAILER MASS): The maximum permissible weight
of a fully loaded trailer as applied to the ground by the main
wheels only (i.e., hitched to the vehicle).
NOTE: All these loading limits must be adhered to, particularly the
GCM! If the GVM and TOWING CAPACITY add up to a higher figure than
the GCM, the loads on the Tow-Vehicle, Trailer or both must be reduced
to comply with the GCM limit.
Failure to comply with these load limitations may risk safety, risk
police penalties and may void prospective insurance claims. Ultimately,
it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the camper-trailer is
used for its intended purpose and that it is never over-loaded.

2. OPENING THE CAMPER TRAILER
1. After unhitching from the tow vehicle and
positioning the camper trailer in a generally level
location, free from any overhead obstructions, set
the camper trailer parallel with ground (this can be
done simply by marking the front of the trailer roof
against yourself and then leveling the rear of the
trailer roof using the jockey wheel, to the same
height on your body).
2. Release the red handle by pulling the handle towards you to
position wind down leg vertically. Lock back into place.
Using winder supplied, wind down each leg until they are in
firm contact with the ground. Note: these legs are not
designed to be used as a jack or as the means of lifting the
trailer off the ground. They are designed to stabilize the
trailer when stationary.
3. Starting from the rear of the trailer body and working towards the
front, open the lock down latches which will release the roof/hard
floor from the main trailer body, releasing the front two (2) latches
last.
4. If the camper has a rear utility swing arm, unlatch, and open
it away from the rear of the camper.
5. Lift the winch strap from behind the roller bracket, then
commence unwinding the winch strap and continue until the
white “stop” mark appears.
6. The roof/hard floor will begin to rise but may need some
assistance in raising it to vertical - the white stop line on the winch
strap allows for the roof/hard floor to be raised to vertical only.

The winch is self-braking and will prevent the roof/hard floor from
further opening. ( It is important that the winch strap winds on
and off from the top of the winch spool, and NOT from under
or the bottom of the winch spool) .
7. Return to the winch and continue to wind out the roof/hard floor
section until it reaches the ground, then continue to unwind the
winch ensuring the winch strap is quite loose at this point
(there needs to be some slack in the strap to allow for the
extension of the rear tent bow). 12 unwinds will do the job!
8. The gap between the hard floor and the trailer body should be
minimal and reasonably parallel. You can now adjust the four (4)
adjustable legs on the hard floor. The roof of the trailer has now
become the hard floor of the opened Cub.
9. Lift the canvas over the trailer body at the side where
the trailer body angles downwards at approximately
45 degrees, ensuring care is taken to raise the canvas
above and over the weather seal to avoid any
unnecessary damage to the weather sealing of the
trailer.
10. Walk around the Cub and affix all bungee loops on the canvas tent
to the corresponding knob on the Cub body.
11. Release the grey snap lock adjusters on either side
of the rear tent bow and push the rear tent bow
outwards firmly with both hands. Secure the
adjusting screws to lock into position, then insert
the two support poles into the two rear corners of
the Camper.

12. Release the locking screw on the slide bracket
just inside the zip door (this is the fitting that
secures the rear diagonal bar to the centre
upright bar). Release the adjusting screw on
the doorway side of the rear tent bow to
temporarily take the tension off, then raise
the diagonal bar upwards until it reaches a
horizontal position above the doorway
13. Tighten the locking screw on the slide bracket to lock this bar in a
horizontal position above the doorway, and gently push the rear
bow outwards (if it has slackened off), then retighten the tent bow
adjusting screw.
Refer to separate instructions for awning/annexe set-up.
Connection to 240-volt electricity
A 15-amp extension cord is required if connecting to a 240 volt supply
(e.g. at a Caravan Park). This is connected to the inlet on the driver’s
side of the camper.
Connecting gas & water
Connect the gas and water from the access point on the rear of the
kitchen. Open gas and water valves.

Filling the water tank(s)
To unlock the water filling cap, insert and turn key, press cap inwards,
with some force and rotate anti-clockwise until cap releases and can be
pulled out.
To lock the water filling cap – push cap inwards, with some force and
rotate clockwise, insert and turn key.
NOTE: If cap is rotating freely without pressure, the cap is locked.
If you wish to use your tanks water for drinking and cooking purposes,
use a food grade hose (not your garden hose) to fill the tank(s).

3. CLOSING THE CAMPER TRAILER
1. Ensure that all lights/appliances are unplugged from the power
source before the camper is closed.
2. Ensure the internal bed has been lowered (in the down position)
and that all windows are closed. If there are pillows on the bed,
move them to the foot of the bed.
3. Close the rear door zip, leaving the front zip open to allow exit.
4. Remove the two (2) rear tent bow support poles and stow on to the
bed for use when next setting up the Cub .
5. Release the locking screw on the slide bracket and lower the
doorway bar down to the stopper at the bottom of the centre
upright bar, then tighten the locking screw.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE SLIDE BRACKET LOCKING SCREW IS
TIGHTENED AFTER LOWERING THE DOORWAY BAR. YOU CAN
DO THIS AFTER EXITING THE CAMPER IF IT IS EASIER.
6. Release the two adjusters on the rear tent bow. Allow the rear bow
to collapse in (within approximately 15 cms of the adjusters), then
re-tighten the adjusters making sure it is even on both sides.

7. Step out of the camper (lifting slide
bracket and retightening if preferred to
allow easy exit from camper). Close the
front zip, leaving about 25cm open to
allow air to escape.
8. Walk around the camper and unclip all
press studs/shock cords from the trailer
body and tent lifting the canvas back into
the trailer body on both sides where the
trailer body angles downwards at
approximately 45 degrees. Ensure care is
taken to raise the canvas above and over
the weather seal to avoid any
unnecessary damage to the weather sealing
of the trailer.
9. IT IS IMPORTANT that the canvas tent is pulled out and away from
the tent bow junction point before you start closing the camper.
This will avoid any possibility of the canvas being caught or catching
on the tent bow junction point.
FAILURE TO TAKE CARE WITH HOW THE CANVAS IS FOLDED INTO THE TRAILER
AT THIS POINT MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CANVAS.
10. Commence winding the winch.
11. When the camper trailer roof/floor is “about” two thirds closed, walk
around the camper, and ensure that all the canvas is pushed inside
the body of the camper. It is safe to do this when the last tent bow
is flat on the camper.
