Club Campers Frontier vs Jayco Hawk

What's the difference?

Cub Campers is Australia’s oldest camper-trailer manufacturer and one of the oldest businesses in the caravan and camping industry, having just celebrated 50 years of operation in 2018.

The company can lay claim to inventing the soft-floor camper trailer, pioneering the rear-fold and championing off-road campers when everyone else was concerned with the on-road market. Amongst all that, though, it was late to the game when it comes to forward-fold campers, not releasing the Frontier until early in 2016, well after the flood of Chinese manufactured versions became immensely popular. So why did Cub wait so long and was it worth it?

In light of the large volume of dirt-road-friendly camper-trailers being seen on bush tracks of late you’d be safe in assuming that they are the flavor of the month.

Sure, lots of people buy into the idea of the off-road-camping lifestyle and may get a surprise when faced with the reality of it, but the number of those who swiftly grow to love the camper-trailer way, far out-weigh the number of those who don’t.
