Hi Michele
Our Cub supermatics have both had a double bed which converts to
kitchen table and seats but we often eat outside so leave the bed made up. Yes there should be plenty of floor space for the 3 kids as ours are much bigger. We used lilos in an L shape and still had easy access past the 2 kids. Im 180cm tall and can sleep across the cub Left to right this is part of the reason the Cub has more useable room than most hardtop campers as its bed runs across the trailer while most run fron-to-back. Its also bigger than most at nearly 7 wide.You might look for a used Cub Drover which comes with a barbecue and 2x4.5kg gas bottles instead of 1x9kg bottle. If one bottle runs out you have some warning. Our 9kg bottle lasted over a month each time. Drovers dont all have kitchens but plenty of storage. We stay out in bush camps and only go to a caravan park once a week for good showers etc. as we have 2 fridges - 1x3way & an Engel - and dual batteries. The Cub also carries 60L of water. Our first cub had an inside
kitchen - great on cold nights and our current one an outside
kitchen - better in the heat. Its always a trade off. Whatever you do dont waste money on a road model its false economy.
There are better trailers than the cub but they are smaller and more expensive. If money were no object and there were just the 2 of us Id buy a Sugarglider as its better all-round than anything else on the market and Ive examined them all carefully. But the Cub will do us for many years.
In Alice the caravan park at
the Gap, entrance to the Alice from south, is good and does an excellent reptile show 2-3 nights a week - the kids will love it.
A handy tip for washing clothes is to take a 22L plastic barrel with a screw-top lid as a washing machine. Half fill with water, add washing powder, screw lid on and drive. When you reach destination you only need to rinse and hang out to dry, the bouncing does the wash.
