The Dub box
Dub-Box is the two-berth, retro caravan that
merges the best in cool with the convenience of comfortable
camping.
Here, Digger talks to Dub-Box creators Matt
and Becky about this innovational and inspirational merging of
retro cool and modern convenience camping.
Dub box was
born out of necessity, an ever-growing family and only a split
screen
camper, Matt Clay needed more space! A cool and affordable
solution just wasn’t
available. With an in-depth knowledge of super trailer
manufacturing, a background
of architectural metal work and a lifetime’s fixation with
campers, surely he would be
able to figure something out. It had to be light enough to be
towed by his 48 horse
powered camper and be able to stand up to trailer/caravan
standards and conformities,
but would need to look fit.
Taking inspiration from American classic caravans and vintage
campers, two back
ends of front-end crashes were adapted and modified and formed
into a mould, from
which fibreglass shells are produced. Bonded to a galvanized
box section and fitted on
a BPW braked T section chassis, together pressed corner
steadies, Dub box was really
coming to life. The removable hitch would ensure that it would
even fit in the garage
for winter storage. Insulation with the British climate would
be imperative, as well as
finding the right repro fixtures and fittings that would
ensure the aesthetics would be
spot on.
The result of months of planning and hard work has acuminated
in a stunning
lightweight trailer that Matt is now manufacturing to order,
it can be towed by the
majority of campers and cars, with a maximum laden weight of
only 750kg, and is
truly impressive. Dub box can be ordered in your choice of
external colours, and can
even be colour matched to your towing vehicle. Customers can
choose their own
upholstery, kitchen cupboards, worktops, flooring and even
blinds from a chic,
contemporary range of materials.
Dub box is a two berth trailer that really puts the cool back
into caravanning, however
now the children can come too as Dub box gets ready to launch
a new range of pop
tops with sleeping accommodation for the little ones.
Dub box is the small two
berth retro caravan that merges the best in cool with the
convenience of comfortable camping. Enjoy the camper kudos
without having restoration or upkeep costs. A glass fibre
body that will never rust, no extra MOT or taxes.
Our caravans can give you a new view every day, from
family weeks on a beach to a weekend festival crash pad or
the calm serenity of the British countryside for just the
two of you.
The Dub box has many uses, from couples wanting a more
sophisticated, comfortable camping adventure , to families
dreaming of the outdoor life. Camping made easy, instead
of tents, instructions and guy ropes, think park and
...relax.
Dub box is designed to ensure it is not overwhelming or
daunting to tow. It is a smooth, lightweight and
complementary addition to your journey. Lovingly
handcrafted in leafy Herefordshire, every Dub box is
created uniquely for its new
owner. The glass fibre body shell will be coloured to your
choice. Pick from modern or retro paint codes to
compliment your internal finish and fabrics. The range of
choice in flooring, blinds, upholstery, cupboards and even
worktops
ensures each Dub box is as individual as their owners.
