Australian-made campers are some of the best in the world. The Cub Drifter II is one of the best campers of the year. It won the award for Best Build, and the reasons are easy to see. The design ticks all the right boxes in functionality and aesthetics. Check out some features that stand out in the Cub Drifter II, making it the Best Build Quality award winner.

Versatility

The Cub Drifter II gained widespread acceptance immediately after its release because it came at a time more people got interested in camping. The COVID pandemic made it necessary for people to find ways to get out of their homes while keeping away from crowded places. As a result, camping was the go-to for many Australian families.

This category of people preferred Cub Drifter II because it suited their needs. Despite its sophisticated design and myriad of features, the tent is easy to set up, making it easy for those who move around a lot. The lightweight design makes it easy to tow and can hold much weight.

Appealing Design

From the exterior to the interior, the manufacturer paid great attention to the design of the Cub Drifter II. The first feature that stands out in the camper is its large but lightweight design. The trailer has ample space for a family to pack comfortably, and the outdoor kitchen is better than most of its competitors.

The rear fold bed is another camper feature that receives a great acknowledgment. It balances well on triangulated steel cables attached to the tent poles, making it almost as comfortable as a bed at home. Additions like the dinette couch, stainless steel kitchen furniture, and ample storage space make the camper surpass its competitors.
