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.

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 5of 32
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.
Release red handle

“Stop mark”

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 6of 32
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.
Lift canvas over body
Push the rear bow outwards

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 7of 32
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.
Release locking screw on slide bracket

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).

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 9of 32
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.

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 10 of 32
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.
Lift canvas back into body
Tent bow junction point

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 11 of 32
12. Position the winch strap behind the roller, this changes the
direction of the pull of the winch strap on the hard floor/roof and
allows for greater ease in closing the roof/floor onto the trailer
body.
13. Continue winding, but do not fully close with the
winch. Stop winding when there is a gap of
approximately 25mm to 50mm, then engage the
two-rear lock down latches. This will preserve the
weather seal of the camper.
14. Commencing from the rear of the trailer, close the latches finishing
with the front latches, ensuring that no canvas is protruding over
the seal.
15. Wind the 2 stabiliser legs back up, release the red locking handle,
and swing up underneath the body and release the red handle to
lock into place.
16. If the camper has a rear utility swing arm, close and latch it securely.
17. As the Cub is fitted with a self-braking winch, the winch strap should
be reasonably “tight” so that the winch handle is not left to swing
freely in transit.
18. The Cub is now ready to be attached to the towing vehicle.
Leave 25-50mm gap

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 12 of 32
4. PROBLEM SOLVING
• GAP BETWEEN THE HARD FLOOR/ROOF SECTION AND THE TRAILER
BODY IS QUITE LARGE/SIDE AND CANNOT CLOSE THE GAP
Check the ground level, and if needed, adjust the floor/roof support
legs to allow the floor/roof section to be lowered down further. If the
support legs cannot be shortened any further, then some minor digging
out of the ground where the legs meet the ground may be required.
Is the trailer set level? The trailer should be set up on reasonably even
ground and should be set reasonably level.
Are the rear stabiliser legs on the camper trailer sinking into the ground
(this may happen on soft or sandy surfaces)? If so, tile size pieces of ply
or similar should be used to prevent the stabiliser legs sinking into the
ground.
• CAN’T CLOSE THE DOOR ZIP WITHOUT USE OF FORCE (DO NOT
FORCE THE ZIP AS THIS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ZIP WHICH
IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR)
Look at the tent set up, is the front (draw bar end) of the tent sagging?
Is there a large crease on the side windows running from the tent bow
junction up to the top of the tent bow at the drawbar end? If yes to
either of these questions, a full tent setting is recommended as follows:

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 13 of 32
Resetting the Tent
1. Ensure the camper is set reasonably even/level.
2. Affix all external press studs/shock cords on the trailer tent to the
trailer body.
3. Ensure the door slide bar is in the down position.
4. Roll up the front & rear external window cover (if weather permits).
5. Release the Velcro fixing on the roll-up side wall (if your trailer has
one).
6. Release the Velcro fixing on the door to the trailer floor.
7. Close the door zip or zips, if possible.
8. Release the adjusters on the front tent bow (drawbar end) and relax
the tent bow fully, leave it loose.
9. Release the centre tent bow adjusters and leave the adjusters loose.
10. Release the rear tent bow adjusters and push the tent bow
outwards firmly and hold out firmly and tighten the two adjusters.
11. Position the two corner support cup poles into the rear corners of
the rear tent bow.
12. Raise the centre tent bow until the canvas prevents raising the tent
bow any higher. This tent bow should be raised equally on both
sides, and then tighten the adjusters.
13. Extend the front tent bow (drawbar end of the trailer) outwards,
using sufficient force to square up the side windows. The front tent
wall should now be quite taut.

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 14 of 32
14. If looking better, but still requiring some adjustment, try the
previous steps again, but use a little more force on step No. 10 as
this will pull more canvas from the front of the trailer to the rear.
This is only done, when necessary, not every time you open the camper.
The above steps are to return the canvas to original factory settings. If
you continue to have difficulty opening and closing the doorway zipper,
please call your local CUB agent for further assistance.
No Gas Flow at Gas Appliances
1. Check that the gas bottle has gas; it is supplied empty from the
factory.
2. Turn on the gas at the bottle by fully turning the wheel on.
3. Check that the isolation tap to the non-working appliance is turned
on - this is a red tap on the gas line. It should be parallel with the
gas line when on, and it must cross it when turned off. There is one
red tap for each gas appliance.
4. With outside kitchens or BBQ, make sure the flexible gas hose from
the appliance has been plugged into the gas bayonet correctly. To
get gas flowing on the cooktop, the dark plastic heat adjustment
knob needs to be depressed, then turned to the highest setting for
the jet you want lit, then light with mechanical or electric starter,
keeping knob depressed for a few seconds. When lighting for the
first time, allow time for the gas to reach the appliance. It can take
a minute or two.
5. If problem continues, call your local CUB dealer for further
assistance.

Camper Tail Light Issues
If your tail lights do not seem to be working, make sure you check your
7 pin plug to ensure no pins are touching. If needed, separate pins.
Rear Tent Bow Does Not Extend Fully
Check that the winch strap has been extended to allow full extension of
the rear tent bow when setting up. This can be shortened or tightened
after set up has been completed.
Check that the adjusting clamps have been released.
Are you using sufficient force when pushing outwards on the rear tent
bow? If the winch strap has been sufficiently released, push outwards
until the canvas stops you extending outward any further.

Extended Deluxe Awning

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 17 of 32
Setting Up Your Own Annexe & Awning
Deluxe Awning Set-Up
1. Check that all required hardware is on hand, including a suitable hammer or
mallet (not supplied) for driving the pegs into the ground.
2. Zip the awning onto the camper trailer tent. The zip is zippered from front
(drawbar end) to rear. (TIP: Cable tie the zip slider to the eyelet at the rear of the
tent and this will reduce the likelihood of strong winds unzipping the zip when
set up). A step ladder or stool may be required to zip the awning on. Once on,
it is recommended that the awning remains permanently affixed to the camper,
eliminating the hardest part (zipping awning on and off) of the set up thereafter,
and also removing the need to climb on a step ladder. All CUB Campers
supplied with a full awning can be closed with the awning left attached to
the main tent.
3. Position large pegs (2 per pole) suitable for anchoring the Upright Spigot Poles.
(TIP: Take 3 good size paces out from the Velcro patches on the side of the
camper tent and position a large peg with spring and rope attached. Take a
diagonal step back towards the camper, but away from the awning and this
should give an approximate 90° angle for the two end ropes when attached to
the upright spigot pole. In most cases, just one peg, rope and spring is sufficient
on the centre upright pole, and the spare peg, rope and spring could be used
elsewhere if required.)
4. Taking an Upright Spigot pole , remove the wing nut from the spigot, place the
spigot through the eyelet of the awning and place the wing nut back onto the
spigot. This will secure the awning to the Upright Spigot pole. Then place the
ropes (with a loop tied into one end) over the spigot and wing nut and apply
some tension to the rope. The Upright Spigot pole will now be quite stable. Move
onto the next Upright Spigot pole and continue until all are positioned.

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 18 of 32
5. Set up the 2 additional Upright Spigot poles that extend the Extended Deluxe
awning further forward of the trailer body. TIP: Set the Extended Deluxe awning
in line with the 3 Velcro pole settings first, and after setting up this area of the
awning, the extended section will be easier to set up.
6. Raise the centre (or high point) Upright Spigot pole but keep it within a
manageable height to attach further poles.
7. Affix the Velcro Spreader Poles to the Velcro patch on
the trailer tent by aligning it with the Velcro where
you can feel the tent bar behind the canvas. Snap the
cup end onto the Upright Spigot pole (above the
collar). Open the snap lock adjuster and spread the
pole outwards tightly and close the snap lock
adjuster to prevent the spreader from closing
inwards. Secure the awning to the Velcro Spreader
Poles with the Velcro ties sewn on to the inner side of
the awning.
8. Snap the Cup Spreader Poles (Cup at both ends) on
to the Velcro Spreader Poles forward of the collar,
loosen the snap lock adjuster and extend outwards
firm firmly and then close the snap lock adjuster to
prevent the Cup Spreader Poles from closing inwards
and finally secure the Cup Spreader Poles to the
awning with the Velcro ties sewn on to the inner side
of the awning.
9. Starting with the centre (high point of awning pitch roof) Upright Spigot pole,
loosen the snap lock adjuster, and raise the pole to suitable height. Close the
snap lock adjuster to secure the Upright Spigot pole, then follow with the other
Upright Spigot poles. Now tighten the securing ropes to hold the awning frame
in position. NOTE: Ensure the front (outer edge) of the awning is NOT higher than
the awning zip where affixed to the trailer tent section and this will allow water
run-off to be away from the zippered join.
10. Fitting of removable walls is as easy as zipping one side of the front and rear
walls to the trailer tent section, and Velcro fixing the top edge of the wall to the
Velcro edge of the Extended Deluxe awning. Use the small pegs provided to fix
the bottom edge of the wall to the ground, a hammer/mallet will be required to
drive the small pegs into the ground through the eyelets at the base of the wall.

© CUB CAMPERS • 2.2 OWNER’S MANUAL V2 • 20/12/2022PAGE 19 of 32
NOTE: If the ground is reasonably level, the hang or fall of the wall will be a good
indicator as to whether the height of the awning from the ground is correct and
if needed, the height of the awning from the ground can be adjusted simply by
loosening off the ropes and adjusting the Upright Spigot pole as required.
11. Affixing the front Extended Deluxe awning wall to the trailer body will require
press studding the Velcro strip that is supplied with all CUBs. This minimises the
gap between walls and the hard trailer body, the wall will Velcro to this strip.
After first use, this removable Velcro strip can be left attached to the front wall
for future use and easy finding when needed.
12. If you have been supplied with a Draught Skirt, this will press stud on to the
bottom section of the trailer body and both ends of the draught skirt will Velcro
fix to the front and rear walls (if included) to maximize the sealing effectiveness
against weather/insects. You may notice holes in the draught skirt, these are to
allow the draught skirt to fit over press studs on the trailer body that are for the
trailer tent press stud fixing.
13. Note, if setting up camper for a quick overnight stop, and you don’t want to set
up the awning, you can secure the awning eyelets to the corresponding eyelets
on the driver’s side of the tent to stop the awning moving/blowing around.
Ezy Awning/Extended Ezy Awning Setup
The Ezy Awnings are set up simply by attaching the Velcro on the awning to the
Velcro that is located on the tent, underneath the flap above the doorway, then
securing with poles and ropes.
To Pull Down Awnings
Pull down or removal of the Add-A-Room or awning walls is simply a reverse of the
set up, i.e. what you did last, you now do first. Always remember though, the awning
(roof section), can remain affixed to the trailer tent, and never require removal. The
CUB camper can still be closed fully with the awning still attached. Leaving the
awning attached will eliminate the hardest part of any Add-A-Room/Awning set up
and is recommended for ease of camper use.
When packing away walls for storage, ensure they are stowed dry to avoid possible water
damage (Refer to Canvas Care instructions)

6. CANVAS CARE
Setting and Proofing Instructions
Pre-Condition Your New Canvas Tent
Before going on holiday, you should pre-condition your new canvas tent section by
following this simple procedure.
1. Fully set up your camper – ensure all poles, clips etc are in place and all zippers
fully closed.
2. Thoroughly wet canvas using a hose on medium pressure from about 1.5m.
Canvas should be wet evenly over entire surface as if it had been raining for at
least 10 minutes.
3. It is not unusual for canvas to leak when it is first wet down, usually at the seams.
4. Allow to dry completely. Leave erected for 24 hours is possible.
5. Hose down again. Do this procedure 10 to 12 times, or until canvas stitching holes
have shrunk.
6. Check for any water drips and treat leaks, if any, with silicone solution as per
manufacturer’s instructions. (Seam Sealer from any camping store).
To obtain the maximum life from outdoor products incorporating Wax
Converters Canvas, the following points should be noted:
1. Keep the fabric clean by brushing regularly, both inside and outside
with a soft brush and by hosing occasionally with clean cold water
aiming at the lower edge of fabric working upwards.
2. Do not apply soaps, detergents, cleaning fluids or insecticides.
3. Do not allow aerosol spray to come in contact with canvas
4. Keep petrol, oil, solvents, kerosene, and other similar fluids away from
the fabric.
