'CyberGuy': Cube Series trailer a new breed of adventure
Kurt Knutsson examines the Cube Series trailer, which transforms from a compact towable to a spacious shelter that offers modern amenities and four-season comfort.
Imagine this: You’re out in the wild, the scent of pine and earth mingling in the air, and your home away from home is a rugged, all-weather shelter that tows low but lives tall. This isn’t just any camping setup; it’s the Cube Series trailer, an Oregon start-up’s answer to the call of the wild with a twist of innovation.
A few years back, Cube Series debuted with a lifting hard-wall pickup camper that turned heads. It was different, it was bold and it promised more. True to their word, they’ve now launched a trailer that’s set to redefine the camping experience.

Spacious when at camp
When hitched for travel, the Cube Trailer presents a low profile, standing just 6.3 feet tall. But don’t let its modest towing height fool you. At camp, this trailer transforms into a full-height camper with the help of 12V actuators that lift the roof and walls that fold into place with ease.

Compact on the road
The Cube Series camper has a collapsed height of 52 inches, which allows it to fit in most garages while still loaded on your truck. When towing down the road, it looks much like any other pop-up trailer, making it inconspicuous and easy to maneuver.

What is the Cube Series camper made of?
The Cube Series camper is a canvas-free, hard-sided pop-up camper built with cutting-edge materials. Its body is made of vacuum-bonded infused resin and fiberglass, along with aluminum and steel.

Inside the Cube: Where comfort meets convenience
Step inside, and you’re greeted by a cozy, fully equipped space that can comfortably house up to four people. The main double bed is placed against the rear wall, flanked by cabinetry that includes a kitchen block complete with a dual-burner stove, sink, fridge/freezer and microwave. The front wall features a dual-bench dinette that, come nightfall, converts into additional sleeping quarters.

Innovative solutions for the modern camper
But what about showering, you ask? Cube Series has thought of that, too. They’ve employed a half-bath design that’s both space-efficient and functional. The optional bathroom features a hard-sided shower basin that tucks away when not in use, revealing a work area or shelf.
